What is the primary purpose of this specific step?

  1. To set the seller's price expectations and establish a 'reserve' price.
  2. To calculate the exact amount of synergy value for the buyer.
  3. To report the final sale price to the SEC.
  4. To audit the target's financial statements for the last three years.
