Watch for this list to expand quickly, as we are aggressively adding more merger and spin-off terms each day. Once you have these values in your hand, accounting for the spin-off or merger with DRIP Wizard is as easy as 1-2-3.

For Option, [ ], indicates that the company simultaneously spun-off more than one company at the same time. As such, it should be entered into DRIP Wizard as one Spin-off into multiple companies.
