Disgorgement
Categories: Regulations, Company Management
You gorged. You ate too much. That last mutton chop did it. You got up from the table, walked outside to the alley. Then, uh, disgorged.
Ok, now frame this lovely image in a financial setting and you have a post-feast gross-fest.
You, big behemoth cable company juuuuuust got it past the government regulators for you to acquire a video production facility in a controversial 7-6 ruling. But as part of that ruling, you are forced to disgorge the video editing facilities you own; they must be sold or your big merger can't go through. So you disgorge them. Then you have more room to eat.
