FAIRNESS OPINIONS / INDEPENDENT EXPERT REPORTS

Fairness Opinion has established itself as one of the protection mechanisms for executives, a kind of “protective shield” consisting of an independent and expert opinion on the financial adequacy of the price of a transaction.

This expert opinion involves a thorough analysis of the transaction and current market conditions, discounted cash flow valuations, prior market multiples / transactions, synergies and other additional factors, carried out by an independent expert.

In addition to providing an independent and qualified opinion on the appropriateness of a proposed transaction, fairness opinion provides transparency and additional insight, and helps decision makers.

VIR CORPORATE FINANCE is ideally suited to provide an objective, independent fairness opinion or valuation reports on highly complex transactions through our extensive experience in providing fairness opinions to boards of directors or special committees, stockholders, financial providers, privately-held businesses, boards of directors and other.

PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

We assist on regulatory and accounting matters, with advice on valuations required by Accounting Standards, including purchase price allocation.

IFRS requires that all companies carrying out a business combination shall allocate the price paid between those involved assets and liabilities of the acquired company, so that the difference between the paid price and the fair value of those assets and liabilities will be goodwill.

Our task as independent experts is to deliver a PPA Report were we issue an opinion on the identification and valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities, providing reliability and credibility to the combination process.

If you have recently completed an acquisition, or are contemplating one, and would like independent, professional, and knowledgeable valuation advice, please contact us.
