What does Fairness Opinion have to do with me?
Is your company about to make a major decision that effects its corporate value? If so, there is the potential for conflicts of interest.
And that means, to satisfy shareholders, the SEC, and meet accepted practice, it is likely necessary to obtain a fairness opinion.
What is a fairness opinion?
We at J.P. Katz & Associates serve as a third party to make sure that the deal is for a fair price and/or executed in an appropriate fashion.
To do so, we analyze the relevant financial documents, apply appropriate precedent, and provide you with the needed analysis.
What situations need a fairness opinion?
Situations that require a fairness opinion include:
- Mergers, Acquisitions, Divestitures
- Fair Value of Minority Interests
- Management Buy-Outs
Why?
A proper fairness opinion helps protect your company from litigation while ensuring that a fair transaction takes place, which is beneficial to all parties.
Also, fairness opinions have become standard practice since a landmark Supreme Court ruling where a company was found negligent for not obtaining one.
