The Freehills guide to demergers

The Freehills guide to Demergers is a general guide to the legal issues relating to a demerger or spin-off by a listed company.

This booklet describes the process of a demerger in two phases: an internal restructure phase and a demerger phase. It outlines the preparation of scheme documentation, ASIC's and the ASX's involvement, the demerger approval process, the formal implementation of a scheme and related taxation issues, and provides an indicative timetable of the complete process.
