"Tell me about a recent deal" - is talking about a carve-out/spin-off appropriate?
This is a super common interview question. Typically candidates talk about M&A transactions, but I wanted to know if it is perfectly fine to talk about a recent spin-off instead of an M&A transaction. If I follow the same format as an M&A answer (name of parent and carve-out, size of the deal, structure of the deal (% owned by parent, proposed share price, shares outstanding liquidation period, etc.), impact of parent's share price after announcement, and strategic rationale), then can this be considered an appropriate response to the question?
