New Guide: Reverse Morris Trusts Explained

Earlier today we published something a little different: a deep dive into the Reverse Morris Trust (RMT) — the complex structure companies use when they want to sell a business unit tax-free.

We’ve covered individual RMT deals before — from CBS Radio and Entercom to GE’s troubled spin with Wabtec — but this is our first attempt to put everything together in one place.

In the new guide, we break down:

• What an RMT is, in plain English
• How the spin-and-merge process works step by step
• Why the >50% shareholder control rule matters
• Examples from AT&T, Lockheed, and more
• The risks when things don’t go according to plan
