Background
Hamilton Robinson Capital Partners, the private equity sponsor and majority equity owner of CEW, recapitalized the Company. HRCP requested a fairness opinion to give confidence to its investors that the valuation and terms were fair from a financial point of view.
Solution
CMM performed a valuation analysis including a review of publicly traded comparable companies, recent mergers and acquisitions in the space, a discounted cash flow analysis, a review of information on the operations of the company and a review of their transaction process. CMM issued an opinion to both the buyer and the seller that the transaction was fair from a financial point of view.
