Fairness Opinions

Given its extensive M & A and related transaction experience, Gordian Group is well-positioned to offer credible and defensible opinions on matters of a transaction's fairness. Complementing this experience is Gordian Group's analytically intensive approach.

The types of transactions on which Gordian Group offers fairness opinions include:

• Allocation of equity interests and other consideration among multiple classes of securities

• "Going private" transactions

• Spin-off of business units, possibly in connection with an overall financial restructuring

• Consideration received in conjunction with the sale of a business, especially in the context of evaluating different and competing offers

• Consideration paid by a buyer in connection with the purchase of a business

• Decisions by government agencies as to whether to proceed with a transaction or settlement proposal

• Conversion of creditors' claims into a controlling interest in a company
