Depository institutions require independent assessments of value for numerous reasons, such as:

• Configuring buy-sell agreements
• Repurchasing or reorganizing shareholders’ interests
• Issuing new stock or other securities with equity features
• Satisfying regulatory and fiduciary obligations in transactions involving related parties
• Going public (cheap stock valuations)
• Going private
• Merging with or acquiring another entity
• Divesting a subsidiary or business unit
• Administering employee or management incentive plans
