Fairness Opinion — an independent opinion the board, the shareholders and SEBI can rely on

A fairness opinion is a written opinion, addressed to the board (or a committee of independent directors), on whether the financial terms of a proposed transaction are fair, from a financial point of view, to a specified class of shareholders. Transique issues fairness opinions on mergers, demergers, acquisitions, related-party transactions, open offers and schemes of arrangement — for listed entities, private companies and group-restructuring situations.
We do not combine fairness-opinion engagements with advisory roles on the same transaction. Independence is non-negotiable. Our fairness opinions are written for directors who will be asked to stand behind them.
