In a sell-side auction, a 'stapled financing' package is offered to bidders.

What is the primary purpose of this from the seller's perspective?

  1. To comply with SEC regulations regarding fair disclosure in M&A transactions.
  2. To ensure the investment bank receives a double fee from both the buyer and the seller.
  3. To prevent strategic buyers from participating in the auction.
  4. To establish a floor valuation and increase execution certainty for financial buyers.
