Acquisition financing (as % of cash consideration, excluding deferred payments) Number of closed deals in Russia Sources of M&A deal financing The overall volume of the debt financing of acquisitions equaled $7.2 bln which slightly exceeded the values for 20 (+3%). However, on the back of the overall reduction in the M&A activity in 202, the share of debt financing rose from 32% to 45%. Bank loans remained the main source of debt financing. An increase in the share of borrowed funds in M&A financing was explained by an increase in the proportion of large deals, liquidity injection in the financial system and greater participation by Russia s largest banks. Corporate cash reserves and cash flows were the main source of financing: 5% of cash consideration, excluding deferred payments. Asset sales and equity offerings were not a major source of deal financing in 202. The share of this type of financing was under %. Share of state equity investments (through Deposit Insurance Agency, VEB, Rostechnologii, Rusnano and others) was relatively small around 4%.

Contribution growth of the three largest Russian banks The three largest Russian banks Gazprombank, VTB and Sberbank over the course of the past five years have been growing their presence in the M&A markets. Over the last several years, the Russian banks have gained significant experience in deal financing and consulting, risk management for M&A projects. The scale of their activities and complete range of banking instruments have allowed the Russian banks to play a leading role in the largest and most complicated deals including those involving the government and Russia s blue-chip corporations. As a result, the role of the largest Russian banks is increasing. In 202 the three largest Russian full-service banks participated in more than 63% of the M&A deals by value (50-60% in 200-20) and in 42% of deals by count (around a third in 200-20). By comparison, in 2008 the three banks participated in less than 0% of deals by value and less than 5% by number.

State and state-controlled companies in the Russian M&A market Dynamics of the deals involving the state and statecontrolled companies (by value) Deals involving the state and state-controlled companies (as % of total value) Overall value of the deals involving the state and statecontrolled companies decreased by 43% in 202 compared to 20: from $38.6 bln to $22. bln. The cash consideration in deals with participation of the state and state-controlled companies has increased. Around 2/3 of such deals in 202 were financed with cash. In 20 significant volumes of closed deals were due to asset consolidation by large government corporations (particularly Rostelecom, RusHydro, Inter RAO UES). The share of privatization deals in 20-202 was relatively stable at 9-0% level. Almost 2/3 of privatization deals in 202 took place in transport and logistics sector. In the near future, the state and state-controlled company activity will continue to play a major role in the Russian M&A market; currently work is being carried out on several large deals. The most recent example is a series of deals announced by state-owned Rosneft for its acquisition of TNK-BP, valued at around $6 bln. The deals are expected to close in 203. Deals involving the state and state-controlled companies include in this review the following: privatization, purchase and sale of assets by companies and banks where the State s effective share is over 50%, as well as the state s direct equity investments.

International deals and finance sources The share of foreign acquisitions in overall acquisition volume in Russia has continued to decrease. This tendency started in 2008 when the share of this financing type was at 22%. By 202 this share dropped to % of the total cash value. Traditional European buyers have reduced their activity recently while emerging investors from China and India are yet to achieve high volumes in Russian acquisitions. It is likely that the share of foreign acquisitions will not grow substantially in the medium term. Total deal value made by Russian companies abroad started to grow in 20 and this tendency has continued into 202. Several large cross-border deals were closed in finance, telecommunications, infrastructure, oil & gas and other sectors.

Breakdown of M&A deals in 202 by sectors Telecoms and media has been keeping the leading positions in the M&A deal structure for the second consecutive year mainly due to persistent activity of the main players (Vimpelcom, Rostelecom, MTS, Megafon) and their shareholders. Industrials sector has been dominating in terms of the number of deals in 202 as well as in 20. However, average deal size in the sector was only $263 mln. Growth of total deal value in Finance sector may be primarily explained by strengthened activity from the major Russian banks in domestic and foreign acquisitions. The series of privatization deals closed in Transport and logistics sector in 202 led to growth in this sector s share from 8% in 20 to 3% in 202 in monetary terms.
