M&A Fees

Financial advisory firms get paid in a M&A transaction by a target company via a fairness opinion and possibly a monthly retainer. Based on this the financial advisory firm will negotiate a M&A advisory fee, that is generally a percentage of the total deal value, awarded only if the deal closes and the retainer and fairness opinion fees will get credited toward the total fee. If the deal does not close then the M&A advisory firm walks away with just the fee for the fairness opinion and the monthly retainer that have been paid up to that point. Also, in many cases, if either party walks away from the deal there is a breakup fee that is paid to the other party. The responsible party and amount is established early when terms are being negotiated.

Due do regulatory concerns and challenges surrounding deals closing and in an effort to protect against advisory fee decline there has been a shift in how bankers are asking to be paid, mainly at the top investment banks.

  • Bankers are charging more for fairness opinions, generally between 20% and 25% of the total advisory fee up from 10% to 15% of the total advisory fees
  • Bankers are now seeking up to 25% of the breakup fee that is paid to the receiving party

Dealytics has an ever evolving advisory fee algorithm and continues to adjust it's fee algorithm, this change is reflected in our algorithms.
