Calling Entries: Spin-Off / Demerger Deal of the Year 2026

The Global Banking & Finance Review Awards programme has officially opened nominations for Spin-Off / Demerger Deal of the Year 2026, recognising outstanding corporate restructuring transactions that have demonstrated strategic clarity, execution excellence, and value creation.

In today’s evolving corporate landscape, spin-offs and demergers are increasingly being used as strategic tools to unlock shareholder value, enhance operational focus, and improve capital efficiency. By separating business units into independent entities, organisations can streamline operations, sharpen strategic direction, and enable each entity to pursue its own growth trajectory. The Spin-Off / Demerger Deal of the Year 2026 award celebrates transactions that have successfully delivered transformational outcomes and long-term value for stakeholders.

This award highlights spin-offs, demergers, and corporate separations across sectors and geographies. Transactions that have demonstrated strong strategic rationale, effective structuring, and successful post-separation performance are encouraged to apply. Organisations involved in these deals—including corporates, financial institutions, and advisory firms—are invited to submit nominations showcasing their achievements. Entries can be submitted via the official awards nomination form, and organisations may contact awards@gbafmag.com for further information or assistance.
