Dealmaking Worldwide Did Not Live Up to Hopes
In the first half of 2012, bank executives said on earnings calls that their clients had many deals in the works and that they expected a
surge of deals later in the year. While deals rose in the fourth quarter, the full-year total, $2.23 billion, was down 7.8 percent from 2011.

Emerging markets activity did not make up for declines in deal levels in                                   A sharp rise in deal volume in the fourth quarter was not enough to offset
the U.S. and Western Europe.                                                                               the low levels in the first three quarters.

Country by country
Deal Volumes Fell in Most Developed Economies Compared With 2011
Many major developed countries saw sharp drops in M&A levels — France was down 74 percent — and even some emerging econo-
mies such as Brazil and Turkey saw declines.
The biggest percentage gainer was Portugal (323 percent), based on three $4 billion-plus deals — for a highway operator, a cement
company and the state-owned company that runs the country’s three main airports. Singapore was up 188 percent because of two bids
for property and drinks company Fraser & Neave Ltd. and Heineken NV’s purchase of Fraser & Neave’s brewery subsidiary. Russian
deal volume rose 129 percent thanks to Rosneft OAO’s $54.8 billion purchase of TNK-BP Ltd. from BP plc and a group of Russian bil-
lionaires. Glencore International Plc’s deal to buy full control of Xstrata Plc pushed Swiss M&A deal volume up 118 percent from 2011.
Multi-billion-dollar deals in banking, agricultural products, media and real estate as well as in the energy and resources industries
pushed up the totals in Canada.
Shadings in the map below indicate the direction and magnitude of the percentage change. Only countries with at least $4 billion of deal
volume in both 2011 and 2012 are included.

Cross-border transactions grew 8.7 percent to $1.13 trillion last year from $1.04 trillion in 2011. The biggest announced deal was U.K.-
based miner and commodities trader Glencore International Plc’s offer for the 66 percent of Switzerland’s Xstrata Plc it didn’t already
own. The final offer, after an increase, was worth $46.7 billion and was approved by shareholders in November.

Even a boost from the two pending bids for Singapore’s Fraser & Neave                                 Heineken’s $4.4 billion buyout of Fraser & Neave’s stake in Asia Pacific
failed to propel 2012 deal volume above the prior-year figure.                                        Breweries helped the sector top the 2012 rankings.

average premium for public targets fell from 30.6 percent to 29.6 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

                                                                                                      priced at 10 percent-50 percent over the target’s previous closing price.




PRIVATE EQUITY
LBO Volume Remained at Just a Fraction of 2006-2007 Levels
Leveraged buyout activity has not rebounded since the financial crisis. Still, some private equity firms such as Advent International
Corp., Apollo Global Management LP and Carlyle Group LP have continued to pursue large targets. Apollo announced three deals
worth more than $1 billion in 2012. Carlyle announced four over $3 billion, including by far the largest buyout ever of a Chinese com-
pany: Hong Kong-based video-screen advertising company Focus Media Holding Ltd.

Trends
Asian Buyers Emerge as a Major Factor in Global M&A
China has emerged as a big driver of global M&A over the past six years. Chinese companies came to the fore just as the financial crisis
curbed mergers in much of the rest of the world, and Chinese buying, both domestic and foreign, has held at a fairly constant level since
2007. (The chart below left includes both Mainland and Hong Kong acquirers.)
Japanese companies have re-emerged as major players as they see overseas acquisitions as a vehicle to sustain growth, and the yen’s
rise against the dollar since 2009 has made foreign expansion more attractive.

  • 4. 01.04.13 www.bloombergbriefs.com Bloomberg Brief | Mergers 4 Country by country Deal Volumes Fell in Most Developed Economies Compared With 2011 Many major developed countries saw sharp drops in M&A levels — France was down 74 percent — and even some emerging econo- mies such as Brazil and Turkey saw declines. The biggest percentage gainer was Portugal (323 percent), based on three $4 billion-plus deals — for a highway operator, a cement company and the state-owned company that runs the country’s three main airports. Singapore was up 188 percent because of two bids for property and drinks company Fraser & Neave Ltd. and Heineken NV’s purchase of Fraser & Neave’s brewery subsidiary. Russian deal volume rose 129 percent thanks to Rosneft OAO’s $54.8 billion purchase of TNK-BP Ltd. from BP plc and a group of Russian bil- lionaires. Glencore International Plc’s deal to buy full control of Xstrata Plc pushed Swiss M&A deal volume up 118 percent from 2011. Multi-billion-dollar deals in banking, agricultural products, media and real estate as well as in the energy and resources industries pushed up the totals in Canada. Shadings in the map below indicate the direction and magnitude of the percentage change. Only countries with at least $4 billion of deal volume in both 2011 and 2012 are included.

Chinese companies came to the fore just as the financial crisis curbed mergers in much of the rest of the world, and Chinese buying, both domestic and foreign, has held at a fairly constant level since 2007. (The chart below left includes both Mainland and Hong Kong acquirers.) Japanese companies have re-emerged as major players as they see overseas acquisitions as a vehicle to sustain growth, and the yen’s rise against the dollar since 2009 has made foreign expansion more attractive.
