Conducting a fairness opinion in transactions

Deminor NXT > Services > Finance > Conducting a fairness opinion in transactions

Are you as a shareholder or director confronted with a transaction that will have an impact on your financial or shareholder position? Or are you looking for an impartial assessment of a potential transaction? Then use our fairness opinion, also known as second opinion, to make the right decision.

Our experts carry out a critical, but above all objective, analysis of the proposed transaction. For example, they determine whether the terms and conditions are fair and equitable, and whether the transaction respects the interests of each shareholder. They also check whether good governance is being adhered to.

They analyse the transaction thoroughly in financial and legal terms, conduct “due diligence” and assess the methodology and assumptions underlying the transaction.

Questions you may be asking yourself

I would like an objective opinion on a takeover. Can I contact you for that?

I want to have this transaction or structure change critically assessed by a third party. Can you provide me this?

I am facing a capital increase and see my stake in the company as a shareholder diluted. Is that fair and equitable? How can I assess and oppose it?

I wish to carry out a transaction and would like to know if I can expect criticism from my shareholders. Can I ask for an external opinion from you?

I am planning a governance change but expect opposition from my shareholders. Can I come to you for a recommendation?

A takeover bid has been launched for my listed company. What is your opinion on the offer price and other modalities?

In a procedure, the expert has made an estimate, but I cannot agree with it. Can you give a second opinion on that?

I feel that changes are being proposed to the governance of this company that are not acceptable. Can you advise me on this?

Did we follow all the formal rules properly in this transaction?

As a shareholder, you may well be faced with transactions that can profoundly affect your position. Just think of a capital increase with dilution of your interests, a merger or acquisition, or simply a restructuring. In addition, changes may also occur in the structure, composition or operation of the governing bodies, which are contrary to sound corporate governance. In such cases, we recommend that you have us, as an external party, conduct a fairness opinion.
