Bioverativ common stock will begin "regular way" trading on Thursday, 2 February 2017, under the symbol "BIVV" on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
On 20 December 2016, Biogen announced that its board of directors approved the separation of Biogen and Bioverativ, and declared a special dividend distribution of one share of Bioverativ common stock for every two shares of Biogen common stock held as of the close of business on 17 January 2017, the record date for the distribution.
