Spinning Out from One Company and Selling to Another Entity

The economic fallout of the Covid-19 crisis has led many corporations to contemplate their asset allocations and performance of their capital investments, leading them to wonder if starting anew and or setting up a variable corporate structure can amass better economics. Join Myrna Soto to discuss how to orchestrate a successful spin-out, realigning established franchises, and separating divisions to form a new independent corporation.

Myrna serves on the boards of CMS Energy/Consumers Energy, on the New York Stock Exchange, Spirit Airlines, as well as New York Stock Exchange, and Popular, Inc., which operates under the brand names of Banco Popular, which is NASDAQ. She’s on both exchanges with three public boards.

Myrna is recognized as a governance and board leadership fellow by the National Association of Corporate Directors, NACD, and most recently served as the chief strategy and trust officer for Forcepoint.
