Certain business transactions require an extra element of diligence and care based on complexity, independence, and many other factors. When a transaction will result in a change in control, and/or a significant change to a company’s capital structure, those entrusted with fiduciary responsibility are wise to seek additional assurance as a protective measure to ensure the terms of the deal, from a financial point of view, are fair.
Madison Street Capital provides fairness opinions both on a stand-alone basis, and in support of a broader financial advisory engagement. We deliver robust analyses that provide fiduciaries such as boards of directors, special committees, management, and other stakeholders with the additional assurance they need when dealing with these special types of situations. Our fairness opinions are thorough, articulate, and heavily researched, and all the elements of the transaction (including valuation, structure, and process) are fully analyzed and examined.

We have rendered independent third-party fairness opinions to clients of all sizes and types in a broad range of situations, including:

• Buy-side and sell-side M & A transactions
• Related party debt and equity transactions
• Take Private or “Go Dark” Transactions
• Disposition of an asset, or a portfolio of assets
• Recapitalizations
• Down-round financings
• LBO- and ESOP-related transactions
