Divestment
Divestment, sometimes referred to as divesture, is the process of selling off subsidiary business interests or investments.
Corporate shareholder action terms for buybacks, divestments, split-offs, and investor communication.
Shareholder Actions, Divestments, and Investor Relations covers equity-account changes, contributed surplus, shareholder approvals, divestments, investor-relations events, and other corporate actions affecting owners.
Use these pages when an issuer action changes equity accounts, shareholder communication, divestment proceeds, ownership evidence, or investor-facing disclosure. It sits inside Equity Capital and Shareholder Actions, so readers can move up when the broader company-finance context matters.
Use the table below to choose the narrower corporate-finance branch before applying a term to a model, board memo, financing analysis, transaction review, or risk assessment. Move into the term page when the evidence source, calculation, agreement, filing, account, or governance right matters.
