Do you think it's taxable?

As @sjrcpa said, are you sure it is taxable. Generally the value per share of the original stock is reduced to offset for the cost basis of the new shares. 

A few of us are old enough to remember the spin off of all of the baby bells. That was so much fun that Tax Tools even put in a module to help allocate the basis.
