THE SPIN-OFF REPORT -
Valuation of Corporate Divestitures

THE SPIN-OFF CALENDAR AND FLASH SERVICE

Published at the beginning of each month, this periodical monitors the progress of all spin-offs throughout the spinoff
cycle. The following information is provided:

  • History of the parent company leading up to the proposed divestiture
  • Description of the spin-off transaction, including share ratios and target dates
  • An analysis of the tax status and progress of shareholder, SEC, IRS and other regulatory approvals
  • Parent company business description and analysis
  • Analysis of subsidiary businesses and contribution to parent sales and profits

On the day the divestiture is announced, The Spin-Off Report transmits an email containing available logistical
information and an initial opinion. Additionally, throughout the spin-off process, emails will be sent between Spin-
Off Calendar publication dates to update clients with time-sensitive and material information regarding the details of
the divestiture.

COMPREHENSIVE SPIN-OFF ANALYSIS

Comprehensive analysis of every spin-off will provide the earliest available projections and valuations for these
forthcoming independent companies. Investment opportunities are highlighted within subsidiaries to be divested, as
well as parent companies that will benefit from these pending transactions.

SPIN-OFFS OF TOMORROW

This report provides a detailed overview and analysis of companies believed to be candidates for pursuing a future
spin-off, split-off or other form of divestiture of one or more subsidiaries or business segments. The authors
endeavor to provide a unique viewpoint regarding the rationale for, and implications of such transactions from a
strategic, financial and valuation perspective. The report will be published periodically as spin-off candidates are
identified, and will be followed by additional reports when anticipated transactions actually occur.

BITS & PIECES

The Bits & Pieces Report is a monthly arbitrage supplement that identifies opportunities that occur when substantial
fluctuations in the value of a company’s public and private holdings create an undervalued “stub” security. Such
valuation discrepancies may provide a more efficient means to gain exposure to equities held by the parent, or may
be exploited by the use of pair trades or similar strategies. These situations are highlighted and monitored on a
continuous basis.

THE SPIN-OFF REPORT COMPENDIUM

Published on a monthly basis, The Spin-Off Report Compendium provides an effective forum for Murray Stahl to
discuss restructurings outside the realm of spin-offs, as well as intriguing divestitures in foreign markets. Certain
spin-offs may fall out of favor before they realize the full benefits of independence from the parent company. These
spin-offs will be revisited in the Compendium, with the most compelling situations expounded upon in full length
research reports.
