Question BMY split off MJN - where does the money come from?

The plan announced today is a stock swap in which no cash will change hands. BMY is effectively using its 83% stake of MJN to implement a cashless buyback of its own stock. The beauty of the plan is that neither BMY nor its shareholders will owe any capital-gains taxes.
