Well, you got it partially

Well, you got it partially correct. Yes, C will continue to receive an income stream, BUT THEY WILL ALSO SHARE IN THE INSURANCE LIABILITY/RISK OF POLICIES UNDERWRITTEN.
Only C can "sell" a business and still not get it off its books. The real reason they are going the IPO route is that no investor group or company was willing to purchase this turkey of a business.
Way to go C !!!! Good old Pandit & Parsons are running you straight into the ground.
That turkey of a business

That turkey of a business profited half a billion last year and carries a zero debt balance.
