Abstract
This is part of a case series. In September 1994, Sino Land, the best known second tier property developer in Hong Kong, was studying the possibility of a spin-off of its hotels and hospitality division into a separately listed firm. Sino Land initially concentrated on property and began hotel operations in 1985 while expanding into China in 1989. Under the proposed de-merger, the new holding vehicle, Sino Hotels (Holdings), would inherit equity interests in a number of hotels and restaurants. It was also scheduled to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange after elevation of Sino Land to a blue chip Hang Seng Index constituent stock on 28 February 1998. The case looks at the rationale and the timing of the spin-off and investigates whether the event resulted in an increase in Sino Land's stock market value and improvements in its business.
