Talk:Demutualization

Mutual Holding Companies

Should there be a separate article covering Mutual Holding Companies? It is an issue primarily of interest in the USA, and is a subtopic of demutualization in general. I'm just throwing out the idea; for now I believe the demutualization article is small enough that it probably does not need to be parsed into smaller pieces. 2*6 02:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Mutualization

I added mention of mutualization, but this is another possible article. Does anyone feel it should exist? Another possibility is to expand the current article to cover both concepts, possibly renaming the article to "Demutualization and mutualization", with redirects (American English and British English) for both individual terms. 2*6 22:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Surprise

I don't know enough about this to edit the page, but I don't think that Wikipedia should be surprised by any treatment, as in the end of paragraph 3. LRTrekkie 04:37, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Version 0.7

I think this topic is not important enough to be included as a C-Class with cleanup tags. I think this would need to be GA/A or FA to be in the running for this offline release, though once it reaches B please renominate. Walkerma (talk) 03:40, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Consequences

There should also be a section on the consequences of demutualization, which for most major firms in the U.S. or the UK means that within 5 years of being demutualized, these "publicly-owned" firms are acquired by other firms, usually of foreign origin. So for the overwhelming majority of circumstances it is simply a cashing out of a long-term investment by shareholders for a quick fix... If one is to research this there are innumerable examples...Stevenmitchell (talk) 10:39, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
