Demutualization Refers to the process that has come about as the result of many not-for-profit exchanges (mutual companies owned by groups of members) converting to for-profit and then shareholder companies in order to go public. Demutualization The process by which a mutual company becomes a publicly-traded company. A mutual company is a company owned by its members or users for the benefit of those members or users. In demutualization, the members give up their rights and receive shares in the company in return, which the (now former) members may then sell. Demutualization happens most often when a stock exchange owned by its members goes public. As an aside, a mutual company should not be confused with a mutual fund.
