Present: All the Justices.


KINSER, Justice.

In this case, we address the scope of claims encompassed in a release and whether a subsidiary corporation that did not sign the release is nevertheless bound by it. Because the release applies only to claims that arose prior to its execution and because a subsidiary is separate and distinct from its parent corporation, we will reverse the judgment of the circuit court.
