  • Why did MSF and the Company separate into two separate organizations?
    The Spin-off is expected to enhance and protect value for MSF and Company shareholders by creating various opportunities and benefits, including, among other things:
    • Simplifying the Company’s and MSF’s businesses
    • Allowing the Company and MSF to focus on their respective strategies, core competencies, customers and markets
    • Simplifying regulation and reducing regulatory uncertainty
    • Reducing risks to MSF and the Company, and their shareholders
    • Creating new capital raising opportunities in the U.S.
    • Improving shareholder liquidity since the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market
  • How did MSF and the Company split into separate organizations?

    The Company and MSF entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement. A Distribution Trust was formed under a Distribution Trust Agreement with an unaffiliated trustee. MSF delivered all issued and outstanding Company Class A and Class B common shares to the Distribution Trust. The Distribution Trust distributed 80.1% of the issued and outstanding Company Class A and Class B shares pro rata to holders of record on April 2, 2018 of MSF Class A and Class B shares, respectively. Each record holder of MSF common stock received one share of our Class A common stock for each share of MSF class A common stock, and one share of our Class B common stock for each share of MSF class B common stock. The Distribution Trust holds 19.9% of our Class A and Class B common stock as retained shares for the benefit of MSF pending MSF’s sale or disposition of such shares.

    On October 11, 2018 the Board of Directors approved a one-for-three combination equivalent to a reverse stock split (the "Split") of each of the Company's Class A common stock and the Company's Class B common stock.

    As a result of the Split, effectively on October 23, 2018 at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time, every three shares of the Company's Class A common stock and the Company's Class B common stock became automatically combined and reclassified into one share of Company Class A common stock or one share of Company Class B common stock, respectively. Fractional shares were issued in connection with the Split, and the Company paid no cash in lieu of fractional shares.

    The Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock will begin to trade today, October 24, 2018, on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, on a split-adjusted basis. Each new Class A or Class B common stock will represent three of the previous Class A or Class B common stock, respectively.

  • What is the relationship between the Company and MSF following the Spin-off?
    On January 2, 2019, the Federal Reserve issued a determination that MSF no longer controls the Company for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. However, as part of the transition, the Company will continue to provide MSF and its affiliates certain services for limited transition periods following the Spin-off.
