What counts, and where it comes from.
A row is a completed sale or spin-off of a business unit (a business, segment, division or named subsidiary) that the seller reported in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC during the month (or, on a weekly page, the ISO week, Monday to Sunday): under Item 2.01, completion of acquisition or disposition of assets, or in a press release attached to the filing that says the sale has closed.
Sales of buildings, loan books or securities are left out, as is the sale of a whole company. Every field is taken from the filing's own words, and each row keeps the sentence it came from. Where a filing does not name the buyer or the price, the table says so rather than filling the gap. The sector is the seller's SEC industry code, not the unit's.
