Executive Summary
• As of January 29, 2010, Aardvark’s share price and valuation are at all-time highs,
having more than doubled since early 2009
• As Aardvark’s stock price has soared in value, it has also generated over $35B in
cash & cash-equivalents
• As Aardvark’s cash balance grows, it is likely to face shareholder pressure to re-
invest the cash in its business and to make significant acquisitions
• Given Aardvark’s strong currency and cash balance, it could easily make several
“tuck-in” acquisitions – or larger-scale acquisitions to acquire customers
• Such a strategy would allow Aardvark to capture more of the smartphone, laptop, and
desktop markets, and significantly improve its software offerings
• Given Aardvark’s cash position, such acquisitions could be made with 100% cash –
or in the case of a larger deal, stock could also be used

Aardvark Valuation
5

6. Goldman Stanley
Valuation Summary
• Aardvark’s current share price of $192.61 far exceeds the value implied by
comparable public companies
• Recent comparable transactions show higher implied valuation ranges due to flurry of
consolidation and hardware M&A activity over 2009
• Discounted Cash Flow Analysis under base-case assumptions shows implied
valuation on-par with Aardvark’s current share price, implying that share price is
justified
• All valuation analysis is based on “base-case” financial projections in line with Wall
Street analyst expectations
• Given Aardvark’s cash balance and high valuation multiples vs. similar public
companies, few competitors are well-positioned to make substantial acquisitions

Potential Acquisitions

12. Goldman Stanley
Potential Acquisitions
• Given Aardvark’s large cash balance, it could make a wide variety of acquisitions –
ranging from small “tuck-in” deals to acquire technology and IP to larger deals driven
by customer or market share acquisition
• Tier 1 Potential Acquisitions
 “Tier 1” acquisition candidates are worth over $1 billion and would significantly
boost Aardvark’s market share or result in substantial revenue or cost synergies
 Leading candidates include ARM, for its chipset technology and integration with
Aardvark’s existing products, and Research in Motion – to capture additional
share in the corporate smartphone market
• Tier 2 Potential Acquisitions
 “Tier 2” acquisition candidates are worth less than $1 billion and would enhance
Aardvark’s core technology and fill in gaps in existing products
 Potential acquisitions include specialized chipset and semiconductor companies
as well as Web 2.0, social media, and mobile software companies

Process Recommendations
16

17. Goldman Stanley
Key Recommendations
• We recommend engaging in targeted discussions with the Tier 1 acquisition
candidates and assessing their receptiveness to M&A discussions
• At the same time, Goldman Stanley will reach out to Tier 2 candidates and introduce
Aardvark as a potential acquirer
• M&A process with Tier 1 candidates will take significantly longer due to the scale of
the companies, so we recommend conducting both processes simultaneously
• Depending on responses from Tier 1 and Tier 2 candidates, Goldman Stanley and
Aardvark may do additional research to determine other potential acquisitions and
then approach them
Targeted Buy-Side M&A Broad Buy-Side M&A
< 5 parties 10 – 100 companies
6 months to 1 year Time required is highly variable
Close-ended Iterative process
Higher success probability Lower success probability

Specialized Negotiations

Highly Targeted
Process
• Combination of targeted
discussions plus broader
search conducted in
background maximizes
success probability and
minimizes disruption to
Aardvark
• Additional parties
contacted depend on
responsiveness of Tier 1
and Tier 2 companies
• Interested parties would
sign NDAs and then
proceed into due diligence
and valuation discussions
