Solvency Opinion
Solvency opinions are useful in highly leveraged transactions where minimal equity is involved, potentially subjecting a company to undue financial distress. A solvency opinion aims to assure the directors of the company or other fiduciaries that the transaction is unlikely to subject the company to financial jeopardy. The objective is to affirm borrower ability to return the principal and interest to the creditors while sustaining adequate operational liquidity.
An independent solvency opinion is a value enhancing component of due diligence that can also mitigate the risk of future fraudulent conveyance claims. Common engagements include:
- Bankruptcy and restructuring
- Leveraged dividend
- Leveraged recapitalization
- Leveraged buyout
- Spinoff
