Fairness and Solvency Opinions

KNAV provides fairness and solvency opinions tailored to the Canadian market, offering independent, objective analysis for mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings. Our data-driven insights ensure that transactions are financially sound, fair to all stakeholders, and compliant with regulatory requirements, helping clients navigate complex transactions with confidence.

At KNAV, we provide comprehensive fairness and solvency opinions tailored to the Canadian market, helping clients make informed decisions in complex transactions. Our fairness opinions assess the value of businesses or assets involved in corporate actions such as mergers, acquisitions, or restructurings. We evaluate the reasonableness of the transaction structure, including non-cash considerations, and analyze how various tax implications and contingencies may affect overall value. By providing independent, objective analysis, we help ensure your transaction is fair to all stakeholders, building confidence and reducing the risk of disputes.

Our team goes beyond basic valuation by considering the broader financial landscape, including post-transaction synergies and their potential impact on value. We also help evaluate post-transaction balance sheets and assess how transaction-related accounting valuations will influence your financial statements. This thorough approach ensures that your deal is not only fair but also financially sound, allowing you to proceed with confidence in both the value and structure of the transaction.

In addition to fairness opinions, our solvency opinions help you assess the financial health of your company before entering into a significant transaction. We evaluate your company’s debt capacity based on creditworthiness, assess the structure of debt transactions, and analyze the impact of different capital structures on overall value. Our experts also benchmark interest rates, providing you with a clear view of how your capital structure compares to industry standards and expectations.

By delivering detailed, data-driven opinions, we support Canadian clients in making strategic decisions that optimize value while managing risk. Whether you’re navigating a merger, acquisition, or capital restructuring, our fairness and solvency opinions offer the independent validation you need to ensure the financial and structural integrity of your transaction.
