Google Inc. said its reorganization into a holding company called Alphabet Inc. is complete.

The Internet giant hopes the move will highlight the profitability of its main online-advertising businesses while giving more speculative, new projects more freedom to grow.

Google's Class A and C stocks will begin trading as Alphabet Class C Capital Stock and Alphabet Class A Common Stock, respectively, on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on Monday. They will retain the ticker symbols GOOG and GOOGL and the same shareholder rights, the company said.

Google, with online-advertising businesses that include Search, Android and YouTube, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet.

Other "moonshot" initiatives will eventually be set up under Alphabet, including health-care units Google Life Sciences and Calico, Sidewalk Labs, Nest Labs, Google Ventures, Google Capital and research lab Google X, the company said.

Google co-founder and Alphabet CEO Larry Page said he hopes the restructuring will turbocharge the company's big bets in industries such as health care and transportation. People familiar with the plan said the autonomy already gained by Nest, a maker of connected-home devices, is a model for how the new businesses will be run more independently.

Alphabet said it would begin to disclose financial results for Google, and its collection of its other units, in January 2016.
