Carve out Usually occurs when a company decides to IPO one of their subsidiaries or divisions. The company usually only offers a minority share to the equity market. Also known as equity carve out. Carve Out The act or process of a company making an IPO on one of its subsidiaries without fully spinning it off. During a carve-out, the parent company becomes 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 allowing it to retain access to resources at the parent company. Most of the time, a carve-out ultimately results in the parent company fully spinning off the subsidiary. It is also called a partial spinoff. How to thank TFD for its existence?
