carve-out

Carve-Out
The act or process in which a company makes an IPO on one of its subsidies without fully spinning it off. During a carve-out, the parent company becomes the majority shareholder and only offers a minority share to the market. This gives the subsidiary a degree of autonomy (such as its own board of directors), while still retaining access to the resources of the parent company. Most of the time, a carve-out ultimately results in the parent company fully spinning off the subsidy. It is also called a partial spin off.

carve-out

An area of personal liability in an otherwise nonrecourse loan.A lender may be willing to accept property as sufficient collateral for a loan, without requiring personal liability on the part of the corporate or individual borrower in case there is a default and the collateral is insufficient to pay the debt.The exceptions,or carve-outs,are for things outside the ability of the lender to analyze during underwriting,such as borrower fraud or environmental claims.
