Frequently asked questions
Essential clarifications regarding engagement structure, valuation benchmarks, and regulatory oversight.
A fairness opinion is an objective, formal evaluation conducted by an independent merchant banker to determine whether the financial terms of a transaction, such as a merger, demerger, or share swap, are equitable to shareholders from a financial perspective. It provides fiduciary stewardship for board directors and protects minority shareholders against arbitrary or speculative valuations.
Valuations grounded in verifiable, tangible assets and unencumbered operational cash flows eliminate the instability caused by high-leverage financing, speculative derivatives, or inflated multiples. This delivers clear, defendable conclusions that withstand judicial, tax, and stock exchange scrutiny.
In India, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) under the Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) regulations, along with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and stock exchanges, requires fairness opinions issued by Capital markets advisory aligned with SEBI Category-I Merchant Banking standards for any scheme of arrangement, merger, or demerger.
