Yeah, that makes sense. The share class example was a stupid one, but perhaps then it would work with a spin-off company? Although as you say, no one would probably do it, if nothing else because of the probable backlash of PR. Although it does make for an interesting thought experiment.

It seems like it could work with a spin-off company, especially if the market judged the company (minus the spin-off) and the spin-off as being of greater value for whatever reason, e.g. 'focus'.
