The spinoff, announced in January, is intended to transfer the value of that stock to Yahoo’s shareholders without incurring the capital gains tax of more than $10 billion that would be due if Yahoo simply sold the stock and returned the cash to its shareholders. The company’s stock has fallen as Wall Street worried that the deal might not pass muster with the I.R.S.“
