In a spin-off, a company would distribute a number of shares to its investors. Each investor would receive shares of the new company for every share they owned.
In a split-off, investors would be allowed to directly trade none, all, or part of their owned shares. The exchange would likely retire outstanding shares for remaining investors. But investors must be convinced to voluntarily make that trade, so “sweeteners” are often included.
