Divestiture
(redirected from divestures)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
Divestiture
A complete asset or investment disposal such as outright sale or liquidation.
Divestiture
The removal of assets from a person or firm's balance sheet through sale, exchange, closure, bankruptcy, or some other means. Divestiture may occur when a person or company has acquired more than he/she/it can properly administer. This sort of divestiture may occur slowly; for example, a corporation may slowly sell subsidiaries to concentrate exclusively on its core competence. On the other hand, divestiture may occur because a person or company has become cash poor and needs to build liquidity very quickly.
divestiture
The sale, liquidation, or spinoff of a division or subsidiary. For example, a firm may decide to divest itself of a division in order to concentrate its managerial efforts on more promising segments of its business.
