Fairness Opinions
In
addition to advising on transactions, as an independent third party
Translink also issues fairness opinions to reassure board of directors,
general partners, trustees and shareholders. A fairness opinion is a
financial advisor's determination that the terms in a merger,
acquisition, divestiture, securities issuance or other transaction are
fair from a financial point of view.
A fairness opinion may be rendered on behalf of a
company, its shareholders or a limited group of shareholders (i.e.
public shareholders or non-controlling shareholders).
Given the high level of complexity of today's
financing, restructuring and recapitalization transactions, there are
often conflicts between parties involved. To reduce the risks of
litigation and to ensure transaction fairness, it is essential to obtain
an independent fairness opinion from a competent, credible and proven
firm.
Translink has issued and contested numerous high
profile fairness opinions throughout its
more than
thirty years of experience.
