Ingersoll Rand (IR), Trane Technologies (TT) and Gardner Denver

Ingersoll Rand, plc spun off Ingersoll Rand Industrial. This spinoff was then immediately merged into Gardner Denver. The combined company then changed its name to Ingersoll Rand, Inc. and the ticker symbol to IR. The parent company, Ingersoll Rand, plc also changed its name to Trane Technologies and its ticker symbol from IR to TT. These transactions were completed on March 1, 2020. The transactions were structured to be non-taxable to Ingersoll Rand, plc. shareholders.

This is entered as two transactions.  Due to the parent company changing its name and ticker symbol and the daughter company using the old parent company ticker symbol, a merger of Ingersoll Rand, plc into Trane will be entered first. Next will be the spinoff. The intermediate company will not be used but for simplification the spinoff will be of the final company after the merger with Gardner Denver which is Ingersoll Rand, Inc.
