There isn't an IRS regulation on this topic.

What you're probably looking for is in Sections 404-407 of ERISA. There's an exception to the 404(a) duty to diversify investments (and the prudence duty to the extent it requires diversification) for employer securities. Because shares of the former parent's stock are no longer employer securities, this exception will cease to apply. The effect is that a sizeable portion of the plan assets may no longer be invested in the former parent company's stock.
