Since we began publishing The Spin-Off Report in 1994, we have constantly sought your feedback and looked for ways to improve and add to our original publication. Many of you have told us that you would like more information about potential spin-offs. As a result, today we are launching a new product, “Spin-Off Radar Screen.”

These monthly reports will highlight stocks that are on our ‘radar screen’ for a number of possible reasons, including pressure from activist investors to explore strategic alternatives, recent spin-off announcements by competitors, or perceived lack of synergies between current business segments. Attached you will find the inaugural “Spin-Off Radar Screen” focusing on The Hain Celestial Group (NASDAQ: HAIN), Helix Energy Solutions (NYSE: HLX), Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES), JC Penney (NYSE: JCP), Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC) and Tyco International (NYSE: TYC)
