When you are considering a bank M&A transaction or bank capital raise, we recommend that your board obtain a fairness opinion from an experienced financial advisor who is independent of the transaction, to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest and subsequent potential liability. In the wake of recent corporate malfeasance, the SEC requires full disclosure of potential conflicts of interest.

Fairness opinions provide proof that the board has met its obligations by making a decision in good faith, in an informed manner, and on a rational basis. Bank capital structures are becoming increasingly complex in the current economic downturn as regulators push for higher capital levels at a time when capital is challenging to find. Under the business judgment rule, the board is protected from liability to a company’s shareholders for decisions evidenced by the fairness opinion.
