TRANSACTION OPINIONS
Houlihan Capital’s principals have rendered transaction opinions on behalf of boards of directors, lenders, equity sponsors and investment banks.

Fairness Opinions

A fairness opinion is an effective, often necessary, risk management tool that determines whether the terms of a transaction are fair to stakeholders from a financial point of view. In significant change of control or capital transactions, obtaining a fairness opinion from Houlihan Capital serves the dual role of facilitating the decision-making process and providing evidence that Boards of Directors and Special Committees acted in a manner consistent with their fiduciary responsibilities.

Solvency Opinions

If engaging in a highly leveraged transaction or situations where minimal equity is involved and could subject the company and creditors to undue financial distress, obtaining a solvency opinion offers a logical and financially prudent means of achieving assurance for parties to a transaction that the company will be able to meet debt obligations as they come due.

INVESTMENT BANKING
