In March 2021, Office Depot plans to separate itself into two independent publicly traded companies. ODP will operate the Office Depot and Office Max stores, while Office Depot’s B2B solutions business will be under the authority of NewCo. The separation is expected to be complete by the first half of 2022. Office Depot rejected a $2.1 billion takeover bid from its rival Staples in January 2021.
