Fairness Opinions
Fairness opinions are used by Boards of Directors and company executives to fulfill their fiduciary obligation to act fairly on behalf of their shareholders. Relying on the opinion of an independent expert on the fairness of a transaction allows them to meet their burden and shift the risk of legal action to the valuation expert upon whom they relied.
Houlihan Valuation Advisors has provided numerous fairness opinions to companies in the following industries: staffing, oil field services, air freight, tourism, payment processors, and enterprise software.
In addition to deriving an estimate of value and analyzing the transaction structure, Houlihan Valuation Advisors can assist the client’s counsel in incorporating the fairness opinion information into SEC Schedule 13E-3 and responding to any SEC comment letters.
