Split-Off
A type of corporate reorganization whereby the stock of a subsidiary is exchanged for shares in a parent company.

Investopedia Says:
This is a somewhat rare situation. For example, Viacom announced a split off of its interest in Blockbuster in 2004 whereby Viacom offered its shareholders stock in Blockbuster in exchange for an appropriate amount of Viacom stock.
