Merger-of-Equal Transactions
- Conduct pro forma analyses.
- Determine exchange ratio.
- Issue fairness opinion letters.
“Our bank has used The Bank Advisory Group for about ten years. They
helped us move to a Subchapter S corporation, consider several acquisitions
and acquire a bank. For these and other services, we have been very
pleased. At one point, because of a conflict of interest, we had to
go to another source. We were able to clearly see the difference: The
Bank Advisory Group was a significantly more effective resource with
capability and sophistication that delivers thorough and comprehensive
solutions for complex transactions.”
