MOT break up ???

Question

If Motorola splits into 2 companies what will happen with the shares I own? Do I get to choose which stock I want?

Answer 1

You can sell which ever shares you don't want (and so will a lot of other people)....................................

Answer 2

If MOT spins off a portion of itself the SOP is to issue you stock in the new company. In the end, you will probably either have a cash dividend, shares of stock or a combination of the two.
