China saw a record value and number of exits during 213 which made up 4% of Asia s exits. China s US$ 11.5bn-worth of transactions more than doubled its previous peak in 29 (US$ 4.3bn) The largest exit in 213 was Warburg Pincus sale of Bausch & Lomb to Valeant Pharmaceuticals for US$ 8.7bn.

Deal value stood at US$ 79.8bn, down 7.6% from 212 (US$ 86.4bn). The market share of SBOs to total exits witnessed a marginal increase to 29.5% compared to 29% last year Trade Sale exits also decreased from US$ 211.6bn in 212 to US$ 191.bn in 213. The 9.7% drop was the second successive annual decline. A vicious circle has appeared for trade sales - private equity firms refrain from sales at lower rates than their original buyout price but strategic players avoid having to pay high values.

US: Overview of 213 Despite a volatile year for US M&A, the 213 total of US$ 893.1bn represented a 3.8% increase compared to 212 (US$ 86.1bn) Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz topped the legal advisor league table by value with US$ 32.9bn-worth of mandates, up 5.3% from 212 (US$ 21.5bn) Quarterly M&A growth comparison Total M&A value and volume 1,6 1,4 1,2 1,345.8 228.5 255.4 Annual M&A Value Q4 M&A Value Q3 M&A Value Q2 M&A Value Q1 M&A Value Value of Deals (US$bn) 1,6 1,4 1,2 1, 8 6 M&A Value Number of Deals 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, Number of Deals 4 Value of Deals (US$bn) 1, 8 6 5.8 752.4 77.6 263.2 687.9 24.8 72.6 242.8 823.3 183. 27.3 86.1 312.3 893.1 221.1 324.8 2 27 28 29 21 211 212 213 213 s US$ 893.1bn-worth of deals has led to the fourth year of increased value for UStargeted M&A.

This would have represented a 1.6% decline compared to 212 Expectations for 213 were high amid further economic recovery and a seemingly healthy M&A pipeline. However, despite being the driver of global M&A, US M&A has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. Beginning the year with strong momentum (Q1 213 valued at US$ 178.8bn), the US experienced a downturn in Q2 (US$ 168.4bn), only to double in deal value by Q3 (US$ 324.8bn) and drop again in the last quarter of the year (US$ 221.1bn) With the government shutdown in October, Q4 213 saw a 31.9% decline from Q3. It also dropped 29.2% by deal value from Q4 212 (US$ 312.3bn) which was reflected in the global trend Mergermarket 213 Trend Report 29 www.mergermarket.com

As a result, this was the most active year for domestic deals since 27 (US$ 976.3bn) The preference for domestic M&A can also be seen in the lack of growth for outbound activity during 213 (US$ 176.1bn) which declined 6% from 212 (US$ 187.3bn). Q4 s US$ 42.9bn declined 13.5% compared to Q3 (US$ 49.6bn) and up by 32.9% compared to Q4 212 (US$ 63.9bn) Amid improving economic conditions, the nature of the US investor abroad is changing as well. In 213, 8% of US outbound deal value came from a corporate buyer (versus a US-based financial sponsor), the highest proportion since 28 (84.4%) and the secondhighest since 21 (93.7%) Consequently, riskier investments in the emerging markets appear to be traded for stable alternatives at home. US investments into the BRICs in 213 (US$ 11.1bn, 122 deals) have declined for two consecutive years and saw the lowest deal count since 29 (11 deals) 7 Outbound M&A Value Inbound M&A Value 1,2 Other: US$ 15.5bn (US$ 8.4bn) 6 Inbound Number of Deals Outbound Number of Deals 1, Mega-deals in the TMT sector were the highlight of 213. As a result, the sector was the dominant industry by both value and count with 775 deals worth US$ 298.1bn, a 76.3% increase in deal value compared to 212 (US$ 169.1bn). Despite three of the top five deals being TMT focused, the sector s average deal size of US$ 85.8m was only the second highest behind Real Estate (US$ 1.7bn) Q4 s largest deal was in the Financial Services sector and saw the acquisition of International Lease Finance by AerCap Holdings for US$ 26.4bn. Nonetheless, the sector still experienced a 1.4% year-on-year decrease in value (US$ 68.3bn in 213 compared to US$ 76.2bn in 212) Value of Deals (US$bn) 5 4 3 2 1 8 6 4 2 Number of Deals In part due to the US s shale revolution, the share of inbound Energy, Mining & Utilities deals has decreased each year since 211, with 213 (US$ 15.4bn) representing only 11.2% of the total value (US$ 137.5bn).

With consistent deal values, the year ended with deals valued at US$ 8.2bn, a slight decrease of 2.4% from 212 (US$ 82.2bn) Africa and Middle East saw an 163.4% worth of value from Asia-Pacific (excl. Japan) with deals valued at US$ 18.8bn compared to US$ 7.1bn last year. As a result the annual total of outbound deals into the region accounted for 23.4% of total outbound investment, a considerable increase from 8.7% in 212. This is likely to continue as the region looks into more energy resources. Inbound M&A also failed to make a significant difference compared to 212 with deals valued at US$ 69.4bn yet it still registered a 3% increase from US$ 67.4bn last year. Inbound investment from every region remained on par with the values seen last year Consumer deals were most active in Asia s outbound transactions with deals valued at US$ 12.3bn more than doubling the value in 212 (US$ 4.1bn) with eight extra deals.

The US$ 1bn+ tally during Q2 and Q3 signalled confidence in the country until the final quarter dropped 6.1% compared to Q4 212 (US$ 16.3bn) and 5% from Q3 213 (US$ 13bn) Continued resilience to invest in large-cap deals since Shinzo Abe came to power was demonstrated by an increase in only the less risky small-cap deals. The 39 deals under US$ 25m totalled US$ 11.7bn during 213, up slightly from the 331 deals valued at US$ 9.8bn in the same bracket during 212 Japan Cablenet, a cable operator that focuses on local broadcasting, was acquired for US$ 1.1bn by Japan s largest cable TV operator, Jupiter Telecommunications. This was the largest deal in Q4 and saw one shareholder command higher values than 21 s offer price and labelled an original offer grossly unfair Mergermarket 213 Trend Report 46 www.mergermarket.com

Japan: Industry and Cross-border analysis Agriculture: US$ bn (US$ -bn) 213 vs. (212) value and market share comparison Japanese cross-border analysis The climb in value can be attributed to the US-based Applied Materials acquisition of Tokyo Electron for US$ 8.7bn in Q3 which contributed 68% to the total value of inbound transactions Business Services: US$ 2.4bn (US$ 2.3bn) Construction: US$ 3.1bn (US$ 1.3bn) Consumer: US$ 5.7bn (US$ 8.7bn) Energy, Mining & Utilities: US$ 3.6bn (US$ 17.7bn) Financial Services: US$ 2bn (US$ 4.2bn) 29.8% 26.5%.2% 5.6% 3.2% 1.8% 212 12.2% 7.2% 13.3% 213 If the Tokyo Electron deal was excluded from the total deal value, there were only 33 inbound transactions worth US$ 4.1bn, representing a sizeable 58.6% drop compared to 212 s total of US$ 9.9bn. It would also have resulted in the lowest total value of inbound deals since 26 (US$ 2.7bn) Subdued inbound deals during Q2 (US$.4bn) and Q4 (US$ 1.1bn) were responsible for the annual decline. Q4 was down 89.7% compared to Q3 (US$ 1.3bn) and if the Tokyo Electron deal was excluded from Q3 s total, Q4 would still represent a 31.3% decrease Industrials & Chemicals: US$ 5.2bn (US$ 13.8bn) Leisure: US$ 1.4bn (US$ 1.3bn) Pharma, Medical & Biotech: US$ 2bn (US$.4bn) 1.7% 3.6%.6% 1.8% 19.4% 5.9% 24.8% 4.7% 8.4% Outbound deal value saw a quarter-on-quarter recovery during 213 ending Q3 with US$ 21.6bn-worth of deals.

These Infrastructure sub-sectors made up half of the sectors to increase deal values compared to 212 (the other were Business Services, Leisure and Pharma, Medical & Biotech) The highest value increase in any of the Infrastructure related sub-sectors was in Construction M&A, due to the third largest deal of the year targeting Hajime Construction for US$ 2.1bn in June. The 16 domestic Construction deals during the year were valued at US$ 3.1bn, up 138.5% compared to 212 s US$ 1.3bn.
