Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) stock is on the move Monday after the digital business process services company announced plans for a spinoff of its business process automation (BPA) business.
Exela Technologies’ board of directors has authorized the spinoff of its BPA business to shareholders of XELA stock. This has it planning to distribute shares of this new company to XELA investors on record as of sometime in Q3 or Q4.
Investors won’t have to take any action to get the shares in the Exela Technologies BPA spinoff. The company will also provide further details, such as the leaders of the new company, to these investors at a later date.
Exela Technologies is also looking into this being a potentially tax-free spinoff. This may require investors to speak with their tax professionals about the share distribution. The company has Loeb & Loeb LLP acting as its legal counsel for the matter.
