What is the role of a proxy advisor in a merger or acquisition transaction?

A proxy advisor is an independent professional adviser that provides advice and recommendations to shareholders of a company that is undergoing a merger or acquisition transaction. In North Carolina, a proxy advisor must provide objective advice and recommendations to shareholders to ensure that the transaction is fair and reasonable. The role of the proxy advisor is to evaluate the financial and other information related to the merger or acquisition, such as balance sheets, income statements, and other documents, as well as the terms and conditions of the merger and acquisition. The proxy advisor will then provide an unbiased opinion to shareholders as to whether they should vote in favor of the transaction or not. The proxy advisor will also help the shareholders fully understand the financial and legal implications of the transaction, as well as the risks associated with it. The proxy advisor will provide research and analysis to ensure that shareholders understand all of the potential effects and possible risks of the merger or acquisition and will also help explain complicated financial terms in simple language. Finally, the proxy advisor will review the final agreement and the shareholder vote before the transaction is finalized. These reviews are important to ensure that the shareholders’ interests are properly protected.
