AltaGas Canada - Old playbook??
If I remember correctly, about 15-20 years ago, AltaGas spun out their Nova Scotia utility business as a separate entity to existing shareholders. After a few years they bought it back to save on administration costs. With AltaGas keeping a minority interest in the new entity, I'm wondering if a buy back in a few years is in the cards. In any case they will get management fees so it may be advantageous to keep it separate.
