A specific type of spin-off in which the corporate parent consolidates a particular line of business and then sells that newly created subsidiary to investors. In essence, the company is "carving out" a piece of its business with a specific business focus and selling it to the public to highlight the value of niche business operations within the larger company. Usually done in the form of a true spin-off with an independent board and separate financial statements, but heavy cross ownership by parent. Sometimes done in the form of a tracking stock structure.
