Frequently asked questions
How is a demerger plan prepared?
The demerger plan is the document the directors must prepare to start the transaction: it describes the companies involved, the exchange ratio of shares, the criteria for allocating assets and liabilities and the effects on shareholders. It must be accompanied by the directors’ report and, unless exempted by law, by the experts’ report on the fairness of the exchange ratio, before filing and the shareholders’ resolution.
How is a business valued for sale?
There is no single method: a valuation usually combines different approaches, such as the asset-based approach (what the business owns is worth), the income and cash flow approach (how much income or cash it can generate in the future) and the market approach (comparison with similar transactions). The choice depends on the sector, size and purpose of the valuation; the result is a reasoned estimate that becomes the basis for negotiating with the buyer.
What does financial and tax due diligence cover?
It is an in-depth review of a company’s accounts and tax position before an acquisition or an investment: it checks the reliability of the financial statements, the quality of revenue and margins, debt and potential tax risks, such as unpaid taxes or ongoing disputes. The findings are used to set the price and the warranties to include in the purchase agreement.
