spinoff
Real lack of context. A spinoff would be if some particular part of the company is made into a company of its own. But given the lack of context, I can't be sure that's what's happening.

: Definitely difficult to give the correct term without more context, but this may well be what is meant. I went through a Spaltung/spin-off in a company I worked for many moons ago.

demerger
Demerger is the converse of a merger or acquisition. It describes a form of restructure in which shareholders or unitholders in the parent company gain direct ownership in a subsidiary (the ‘demerged entity’). Underlying ownership of the companies and/or trusts that formed part of the group does not change. The company or trust that ceases to own the entity is known as the ‘demerging entity’. If the parent company holds a majority stake in the demerged entity , the resulting company is referred to as the subsidiary.
