FAIRNESS OPINIONS

A fairness opinion is typically a prudent step whenever a large transaction is contemplated and there are minority shareholders involved. A fairness opinion helps to establish that a proposed transaction is "fair from a financial point of view". Haverford Valuation Associates can provide a well reasoned and thoroughly supported opinion from an independent financial expert. A fairness opinion can be used to:

Review and support the decision process of the directors and controlling shareholders
Assist minority shareholders in understanding a proposed transaction
Protect the directors and controlling shareholders in the event of dissident shareholder claims, particularly when all parties are not at "arms-length"
