Fairness Opinions

A fairness opinion is a special letter report from a financial advisor to the board of directors of a company being sold, opining on the fairness of the transaction, from a financial point of view. Adams Capital provides in-depth analysis and objective opinions of value to support the fairness of a transaction to selling shareholders or to a board of directors exercising their fiduciary responsibilities. Analysis is limited to the adequacy of the consideration, not the merits of the transaction. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not an assurance that the highest possible price was obtained.

By hiring an objective third party such as Adams Capital to render a fairness opinion, a board of directors seeks an independent financial analysis of the transaction consistent with the board’s fiduciary duty to shareholders.

Adams Capital is experienced in the valuation of such interests. Our backgrounds in finance, accounting, taxation, and law, and our experience with over 2,000 public and private transactions, allow us to provide credible valuation conclusions.
