Transaction Advisory Services
Fairness Opinions
Independent opinions assessing the financial fairness of a transaction to shareholders or boards of directors.
Fairness opinions provide an independent, objective assessment of whether the financial terms of a transaction are fair to the parties involved from a financial perspective. These opinions are commonly requested in mergers and acquisitions, recapitalizations, or other significant corporate transactions, including private company sales, public offerings, and strategic investments.
The analysis typically considers multiple factors, including the valuation of the business, market conditions, precedent transactions, and applicable financial metrics. Methodologies may include discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, comparable company analysis, precedent transaction analysis, or other relevant approaches. The goal is to provide boards, investors, and stakeholders with confidence that the transaction terms are fair and reasonable.
Rivem Consulting assists clients in preparing fairness opinions, providing thorough, independent analyses and supporting documentation to meet regulatory, governance, and fiduciary standards.
Solvency Opinions
Analyses evaluating capital adequacy and solvency before dividends, leveraged transactions, or recapitalizations.
Solvency opinions provide an independent evaluation of a company’s financial condition to determine whether it is able to meet its current and foreseeable obligations. These opinions are often requested in the context of mergers and acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, dividend distributions, or other transactions where assessing a company’s financial health is critical.
The analysis typically examines the company’s assets, liabilities, liquidity, and projected cash flows. Methods may include detailed balance sheet testing, discounted cash flow analysis, and stress-testing of key financial metrics to evaluate both balance sheet and cash flow solvency. The goal is to provide management, boards of directors, lenders, and stakeholders with confidence that the company will remain solvent before and after a proposed transaction or distribution.
