Xerox (NYSE: XRX) announced today the results of its review of the company’s portfolio and capital allocation options announced in October 2015.

We will now position the companies for success and execute our plan to separate them in the shortest possible timeframe while continuing to focus on achieving our 2016 goals,” added Burns.
