ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NCR Atleos Corporation (NYSE: NATL) (“Atleos”), today announced the completion of its separation from NCR Corporation, which is now known as NCR Voyix Corporation (“Voyix”), and Atleos’ launch as an independent public company. The spin-off was effected through a pro rata distribution of all outstanding shares of Atleos common stock to holders of Voyix’s common stock and is intended to qualify as a tax-free distribution (except with respect to any cash received in lieu of fractional shares) for federal income tax purposes.
Atleos common stock will begin trading “regular way” on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “NATL” at market open on October 17, 2023. As a result of the spin-off, Atleos’ focus will be on banking services and ATMs, including Self-Service Banking, Payments & Network and Telecommunications and Technology businesses.
Tim Oliver, Atleos’ Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Today Atleos launches as a separate public company with competitive momentum and a compelling growth strategy. Higher recurring revenue streams paired with a scalable and efficient cost structure, and prudent capital redeployment should drive strong and predictable financial results.”
Mr. Oliver concluded, “We will build upon our remarkable legacy and global presence, help determine the future of physical transactions and retail banking distribution, and meet our customers’ needs in the most effective and efficient ways possible.”
