Company Demerger


JPM82

Question

Hi. Does anyone know what happens with a Spread Betting position when a company undertakes a demerger of part of the company to create an independent listed company?

A company I have open spread bet positions for has announced it plans to demerge part of its operation and create a new company that will list on the market through an IPO. They have stated that all shareholders will get equal shares in the new company as they hold in the existing company. But I would like to know if, when the demerger happens, will IG provide me with an equal open position in the new company, as if I had privately bought shares?

If anyone can help answer this question it would be a big help.

In most situations such as these we will reflect the same outcome for leveraged accounts as we do for shareholders. 

So if the conditions of a merger were 1 share in the new company for every one share you held in the previous company we would reflect that on your leveraged account too. 

I hope this helps

Thanks Charlotte, I believe that does give the answer I was looking for.

So, as the existing company will remain as a listed company, my open positions will remain as they are, and as the terms of the demerger are that each shareholder will be granted 1 share of the new separate company for each of their shares in the original company, I assume that when the demerger is affected a new position for the equivalent number of shares will automatically be opened for me in the new company and i would then have open positions in both companies

    • SP500, NASDAQ, DAX 40, FTSE 100, ASX200. Elliott Wave Insights & Strategies  Summary:  US Indices Wave 2 retracement in progress and we will look to buy the low of wave 2 in due course. The SP500, Nasdaq 100, Russell 200 and the DAX 40 have this pattern. The FTSE 100 and the ASX 200 have different patterns, however these markets will follow the same intraday moments as the US Indices within reason and will also look to build long positions in the same timing of the US Indices and ETFs. Stocks: Two types of patterns occurring in these stocks. The stocks that have dropped a lot are still in their b) wave rally and will continue into the next session. Then there are the AAPL's that have made a new high. The main point is there are no decent trends occurring in the next session.
