A spin-off is the development of an independent company through the sale or distribution of new shares of an existing business/division of a parent company. Now that the spin-off has occurred, DNOW Inc. is its own publicly traded company, with its own management, board of directors and trading symbol.

In this case, you (the seller) were not entitled to receive shares of NOW Inc. common stock in the distribution – the purchaser of your shares of NOV common stock would have been entitled to receive shares of NOW Inc. common stock in the distribution.
