A demerger (Swedish: delning), sometimes called fission, means a limited company's assets and liabilities are transferred to one or more other companies. In a full demerger everything is transferred and the transferring company is dissolved without liquidation. In a partial demerger only part is transferred and the company continues. It is in effect the opposite of a merger.
It follows a demerger plan, and shareholders normally receive demerger consideration as shares in the receiving company. They must then be entered in that company's share ledger.
A demerger plan is the plan the board of directors draws up ahead of a demerger of a limited company.
