Fairness Opinion

A fairness opinion is an expert evaluation by an M&A advisor as to whether the terms of a merger, acquisition, buyback, spin-off are fair. A Fairness Opinion normally consists of two parts:
  • the Valuation Memorandum, where the transaction, the basis for information used, the valuation method and the reasoning of the experts are described.

  • the Opinion Letter, which summarizes the M&A transaction the experts' Fairness Opinion.
Board members and Senior Executives ask Proventis Partners for a Fairness Opinion, to obtain a final statement on a transaction by a neutral neutralen third party M&A expert. Very often, Private Equity and Venture Capital companies ask for a Fairness Opinion.

The condition for a reliable Fairness Opinion is that the M&A experts are independent and that they are not working on the transaction in any other role (as M&A advisor). Proventis Partners is completely indpendent from banks and is hence frequently used for a Fairness Opinion when an Investment Bank is used as an M&A advisor.
