b'TRUSTWORTHY DEALMAKINGIn order to generate more fees, many brokers and investment banks will work many sides of the negotiating table.Sure, they represent sellers.But they also represent buyers.The same buyersand formerclientsthat may ultimately be interested in buying your company.Some take fees for arranging the financing for a dealfees that are only due if their buyer closes a transaction.Others write fairness opinions, consult, structure bankruptcies, serve as expert witnesses, and more.All beneficial services. But when provided by the same firm, they become fertile ground for conflicts of interest that can influence an advisors recommendationsand undermine the confidence a client places in them.So, at The Braff Group, we are sell-side representatives only. We never take feesfrom buyers, lenders, or other outside parties.We continue to strive eachday to build upon a legacy of excellence, success, and ethics. In the short run, we may lose out on some opportunities. But its the long view thatbest serves our clientsand us.I N T E G R I T Y'
