2 2

3 Foreword Many Turkish companies have shown substantial growth in recent years and, in parallel with their local progress, they have become increasingly eager to expand their global footprint through outbound acquisitions. Başak Vardar Integrated M&A Services Leader Partner This trend towards outbound M&A activity has gained strong momentum in the two year period of , with Turkish investors executing more than 100 transactions spread around several regions of the globe. Despite the difficulties in the economic outlook and in fund raising, we expect Turkish investors to remain keen on pursuing suitable outbound opportunities for global expansion and operational efficiencies in the long term. Our corporate finance team in Deloitte Turkey has assembled data on these deals over the past two years which we are delighted to share with you now as our second Turkey Outbound M&A Review.

4 Basis of Presentation Transaction data presented in this report are based on information that is readily available in the public domain and include transactions with closing procedures still ongoing at the year end. This study does not include capital market transactions or intra-group share transfers but covers real estate acquisitions. We do not accept any responsibility as to the accuracy or completeness of the data or as to whether all transactions listed herein will necessarily close. 2

5 Overview A trend towards outbound acquisitions has become clearly apparent among Turkish companies in the last couple of years, in line with their globalization efforts and long-term growth strategies. An increasing number of Turkish companies has been pursuing crossborder investment opportunities to accelerate their growth through market diversification, cost efficiencies or brand acquisition. The availability of attractive assets in many developed countries at cheaper valuations than before the financial crisis has also encouraged such activity. Turkish companies outbound M&A activity in the two years was around US$6.5 billion (including estimates for the many deals with undisclosed values) through a total of 106 transactions: 51 in 2012 and 55 in These are significantly higher deal numbers than in the past. Outbound M&A activity has been dominated by large and medium sized groups in this period, some of which appear to have adopted a pattern of regular acquisitions abroad in recent years. Manufacturing, Energy, Real Estate, Food & Beverage, Infrastructure and Tourism have been the sectors most targeted by Turkish companies and together these sectors represented more than 60% of the total deal number in We observed private equity-backed local companies in 8 transactions (four in each of 2012 and 2013), mainly cross-border acquisitions intended as add-on investments complementary to their current portfolio companies. Turkish investors actively chased opportunities with a wider geographic range than in previous years. Europe, once again, has been the favorite investment destination for Turkish investors, representing more than half of the total deal number, but Europe was followed by the CIS countries, North America and the Gulf region. Italy, the US and the UK have been the most preferred countries but markets under heavy financial stress such as Spain and Greece have also attracted notable interest. In addition, emerging countries such as Brazil, Mexico and Thailand appeared for the first time in the deal lists. Similar to previous years, Turkish investors mostly acquired either full ownership or a controlling stake in foreign targets. Despite possible short-term interruptions in activity due to volatile financial markets and recovering asset prices in the developed markets, Turkish companies, especially those with the strongest financial position, are expected to continue pursuing outbound investments in the coming years.

6 Prominent Players Sustained the Vitality Leading conglomerates and other large-scale companies engaged in energy, mining, food & beverage, manufacturing, infrastructure, petrochemicals and tourism have been highly acquisitive, some of them starting to exhibit a pattern of regular acquisitions over the years. Anadolu Efes, Çalık Holding, Doğuş Holding, Eczacıbaşı, Esas Holding, Global Liman İşletmeleri, Genel Enerji, Koç Holding, Şişecam, Yıldırım Holding and Yıldız Holding are among these acquirers. It can also be observed that sector pioneers such as Abdi İbrahim, Ekol Lojistik, Halk Bankası, Pegasus Airlines, Polisan, Tosçelik and Sütaş have realized cross-border investments in their sectors. Private Equity-Backed Activity on the Rise Financial investors, who have been major actors in the Turkish M&A market over recent years, have also been involved in cross border acquisitions through their portfolio companies. Private equity-backed Turkish firms have pursued various strategic outbound options and made add-on investments. In this respect, transactions executed by Domino s Pizza (Turkven), Ekol Lojistik (Invest AD), Kalenobel (Argus), Pegasus Airlines (Esas Holding), Standard Profil (Bancroft), TAB Gıda (Cartesian Capital), U.N Ro-Ro (KKR) and yemeksepeti.com (General Atlantic) were noteworthy. In addition to those add-on investments, private equity firms have also tended to expand their portfolios through principal investments: Solvoyo s acquisition by 212 Capital Partners, anymeeting s acquisition by Aslanoba Capital and Crescent Capital s acquisition of a solar power plant are examples. Destinations of Interest As Turkey s largest trade partner, European targets maintained their dominance in Turkish investors cross border investments through 56 deals with a total deal value of c. US$2.8 billion (including estimates for transactions with undisclosed values). This was followed by CIS countries with a deal value of c. US$1.1 billion through 12 deals (including estimates for deals with undisclosed values). On a country basis, Italy and the US shared the leadership with 10 transactions, closely followed by the UK and Iraq while Russia, Greece, Spain, Germany and Croatia were other favored destinations for Turkish investors. On the other hand, emerging countries such as Brazil, Mexico and Thailand appeared for the first time in the deal lists. Also, Turkish companies have pursued overseas investment opportunities through privatization tenders for infrastructure, energy, manufacturing and real estate assets in various countries including Albania, Russia, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro. In coming years, emerging markets are expected to be in the spotlight for Turkish investors, because of their combination of significant cost advantages and domestic market potential with relatively lower valuations due to the diminishing macroeconomic projections for such regions. Despite the recovering asset prices in the European market, companies that offer significant competitive advantages in product diversification, geographic expansion, brand recognition or operational know-how will also continue to draw notable interest from Turkish investors. 4

7 Sectoral Overview With c. 22% contribution to the total deal value, the energy sector was the leader over the past two years, while manufacturing ranked second with c.14% share. In terms of number of deals, manufacturing, energy, real estate, food & beverage, infrastructure and tourism ranked highest, and together represented more than 60% of the total number of deals. Manufacturing assets have been attractive targets for Turkish groups, both in the distressed European market and in emerging markets with cost efficiencies like China, India, South Africa and Brazil. Also, real estate, tourism and infrastructure assets in various European countries were of interest. Transaction Sizes Despite some sizeable transactions by Yıldırım Holding (Mechel s Chrome Business - US$425 million), Doğuş Holding (Astir Palace - US$598 million), Genel Energy (The Miran Block - US$450 million and Bina Bawi Exploration Block - US$240 million) and Yıldız Holding (DeMet s Candy Company - US$221 million), the average size of transactions was relatively smaller than previous periods due to lowered valuations in developed markets as well as the increased number of medium sized companies involvement in outbound M&A activity. The average deal size was around US$61 million, lowest by almost half compared to previous period s average ( average: US$111 million). Financial services, manufacturing, infrastructure and mining are expected to produce attractive outbound opportunities in the future for Turkish investors seeking to become regional players. 5
