uu An uncertain environment in 2016 caused by the UKs referendum on European Union (EU) membership and US elections are political
upheavals that have negatively impacted M&A activity, setting global M&A back 26.6% during H1 2016 with deals worth US$ 1.32tn
compared to US$ 1.81tn in H1 2015, and down 66.8% versus US$ 3.98tn in H2 2015.
uu The build-up and announcement of Brexit sent shockwaves through the dealmaking community. The UKs second quarter featured
the country's referendum and resulted in its Q2 value (US$ 19.3bn) crashing 50.5% from Q1 2016 (US$ 38.9bn). Firms postponed
deals, cautious of the impact exchange rates and questioning what they will actually be buying into, unaware of how future
negotiations will affect them. Foreign acquirers are delaying transactions, with the value of inbound deals plummeting more than
half (-60.1%) from Q1 2016 (US$ 32.8bn) into Q2 2016 (US$ 13.1bn). Private equity firms are holding back from casting any confidence
in the long-term UK environment - buyouts of UK companies amounted to only US$ 4.9bn, three quarters less (75.4%) than H1 2015.
uu Chinas spending spree adding pressure to US and European bidders in auction processes is set to increase - the Chinese government
selects which company it wants to bid for a non-Asian firm, but it will relax these regulations and allow multiple bidders if the foreign
company is worth more than US$ 2bn. China has made four of its largest outbound acquisitions on Mergermarket record in 2016,
buying quality over quantity Chem China/Syngnenta (US$ 45.9bn), Tencent Holdings/Supercell Oy (84.3% for US$ 8.6bn), Anbang
Insurance Group/Strategic Hotels & Resort (US$ 6.5bn) and Tianjin Tianhai Investment/Ingam Micro (US$ 6.1bn). The country has
already broken all annual totals for European (US$ 75.4bn) and US (US$ 32.9bn) acquisitions, up 156.6% and 179.4%, respectively from 2015.
uu German M&A rebounded as a buyer and a seller during H1 2016 after a dip in 2015. As a target, Germany attracted US$ 30.3bn-
worth of deals, with Industrials & Chemicals M&A (US$ 17.6bn in H1 2016, up 252.9% from H1 2015) and Chinese buyers (US$ 8.6bn)
accounting for a 28.4% share, being the key drivers. The country also emerged as a keen buyer with outbound deals worth US$
51.4bn being 90.7% above the whole of 2015 (US$ 27bn).

uu European dealmakers have battled political headwinds during the first half of 2016. Uncertainty surrounding the UKs EU referendum,
as well as the US governments clampdown on tax inversion deals have both served to slow M&A activity within the continent. As a
consequence, 3,110 deals worth US$ 342.8bn marked both the lowest H1 deal value and count since 2013 (2,784 deals, US$ 335.1bn).
Sellers have been forced to accept that their assets are worth less than they were a year ago, with average EBITDA multiple for
acquisitions dropping to 12.3x, down from 15.0x in H1 2015.
uu The run up to Brexit spooked dealmakers targeting the UK during the first half of the year. Following a record 2015, UK M&A activity
during H1 recorded 638 deals worth US$ 58.2bn, its lowest deal value since 2010 (US$ 56.3bn, 504 deals). A drop in activity was seen
in Q2 as the EU referendum drew closer, with US$ 19.3bn-worth of deals representing the lowest Q2 value since 2009. A decrease in
valuations highlight this uncertainty, with the average EBITDA multiple for transactions dropping to 13.4x, down from 17.8x in H1 2015.
uu German dealmakers are investing larger sums in US assets. During H1 2016, there were 22 deals worth US$ 12.3bn by German
companies acquiring US targets, up 70.8% by value compared to the whole of 2015 (50 deals, US$ 7.2bn). Bayer's ongoing US$ 62bn
pursuit of US-based Monsanto is further evidence of this trend, and if announced in Q3, will become the largest outbound acquisition
by a German company on Mergermarket record.
uu High quality German assets were sought after during the first half of the year, particularly by Chinese buyers. During H1 2016, Chinese
dealmakers partook in 16 deals worth US$ 8.6bn, up from just 12 deals worth US$ 393m for the whole of 2015, and overtaking all
annual deal values on record. Dealmakers have been motivated by the need to pick up Western industrial technologies, as seen
in Midea Group's US$ 4.3bn acquisition of robotics maker KUKA, and China National Chemical Corporations US$ 1bn purchase of
industrial machinery manufacturer KraussMaffei Technologies.

JULY 7 2016 INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL, LONDON
uu With so much uncertainty post-"Brexit, it is unclear exactly what kind of impact the referendum's results will have on transatlantic M&A in the coming
months. According to Mergermarket intelligence, some Mid-Atlantic dealmakers believe that short-term turmoil will give way to resuming strong
activity. Companies sitting on cash and signals from the Fed that interest rates will likely not rise for the time being, partially due to the referendum,
have buyers ready to seize attractive targets once the dust settles.
uu However, data leading up to the vote indicates that business may not continue as usual, and that the turmoil could last longer than suggested,
particularly as the UK scrambles to get organized and has yet to begin negotiating its exit, let alone trade agreements. From H1 2015 (US$ 28bn) to H1
2016 (US$ 20.5bn), US outbound activity into the UK fell 27%, the largest half-year drop since H2 2010s post-crisis peak (73%). Further, US bids for UK-
based targets tumbled 51.6% between Q1 2016 (US$ 13.8bn) and Q2 2016 (US$ 6.7bn) the vote having taken place in June. Firms looking to initiate
or complete deals may be inclined to hit the pause button until post-exit negotiations commence and it becomes clearer what the environment, and
available assets, might be. Inbound activity from the UK into the US also fell 62.3% from H1 2015 (US$ 15.6bn) to H1 2016 (US$ 5.9bn), the largest half-
year drop since the financial crisis in H2 2008 (86.3%). Now, with the pound having dropped to a three-decade low, it seems unlikely that UK firms will be
able to afford many US targets, at least in the short term.
uu Energy, Mining & Utilities (EMU) was the second-ranked US sector in H1 2016. Unlike number one Pharma, Medical & Biotech (PMB), EMU saw a rise in
overall value over the same period last year, mainly due to consolidations in the Utilities sub-sector. Though as a whole EMU continued to be rocked
by low commodity prices, volatile markets, and decreasing electricity demand in favor of renewables, Utilities skyrocketed 252.8% over H1 2015 (US$
6.7bn) to its second-highest overall value (US$ 23.6bn) since 2011s peak (US$ 29.4bn). The sub-sector also hit a record volume of 28 deals. Meanwhile,
Energy (US$ 63bn) and Mining (US$ 1.6bn) fell by 8.3% and 33.8%, respectively.

uu Ongoing political woes in Brazil have been largely responsible for eroded investor confidence in the region; in May, the countrys legislature
suspended President Dilma Rousseff on corruption charges. Despite this, Brazil reclaimed its position as the top country in Central and South America
in H1 with a total value of US$ 10.4bn, a 40% rise over H1 2015 (US$ 7.4bn) and 88.4% higher value than second-ranked Colombia (US$ 5.5bn). Hope
that interim President Michel Temer might get the country back on track has restored some confidence, though with Rousseffs impeachment trial still
underway, regional uncertainty is still expected to cast a shadow over dealmaking activity for the rest of the year.
uu Global market uncertainty following "Brexit" seems unlikely to affect Central and South America, given a host of other problems confronting the
region currently, such as political instability, weak currencies, and falling deal activity in general. Though inbound activity from the UK totaled US$
667m, a 658.2% rise over H1 2015 (US$88m), it still accounted for only 2.8% of all activity in Central and South America. Likewise, though outbound
activity to the UK fell 96.8% to US$ 48m from H1 2015 (US$ 1.5bn), the figure was just 0.2% of overall regional dealmaking activity.
uu Inbound activity into Central and South America grew by 13.5% in H1 2016 to US$ 14.4bn over H1 2015 (US$ 12.7bn), though mostly as a result of a
few large deals. Activity from Canada soared 2,611.1% to its highest value ever (US$ 6bn) mainly due to the US$ 4.7bn acquisition of Colombia-based
Isagen. Activity from China also jumped, by 460.9% to US$ 1.9bn, its second-highest H1 value since 2010s peak (US$ 3.1bn), due largely to the US$
1.5bn acquisition of Anglo Americans Niobium and Phosphate business in Brazil. Meanwhile, activity from the US fell 66.9% to US$ 2.6bn.
uu Attractive valuations in Central and South America, partially due to low global commodity prices, aided Energy, Mining & Utilities (EMU) in becoming
the periods top sector. EMU reached US$ 10.3bn in total value, a 117.4% rise over H1 2015 (US$ 4.7bn) and 43.3% of regional market share. By value,
the two aforementioned deals together accounted for 26.1% of total M&A in Central and South America. However, with such low activity overall in the
region, one large deal has shown that it can really change the game.

uu In an attempt to decrease reliance on their home market, Chinese dealmakers continue to seek industrial technologies abroad.
Europe has become their investment destination of choice, with 78 deals worth US$ 75.4bn accounting for 64.6% of total outbound
(non Asia-Pac) deal value. Chinese companies are willing to pay a higher price for quality European assets, with average premia paid
for a European listed target during H1 reaching 23.5%, up from 13.5% in 2015.
uu Taiwan has experienced an uptick in M&A deal value due to its highly attractive semi-conductor assets. The top four deals targeting
the country in H1 2016 all took place within the semi-conductor space, including the highest valued deal of Q2: Netherlands-based
ASML Holdings acquisition of Hermes Microvision for US$ 2.8bn. With eight deals worth US$ 7.3bn announced, M&A targeting the
countrys renowned Technology sector accounted for 87.0% of total deal value targeting the country, up 87.3% compared to FY 2015
(19 deals, US$ 3.9bn) to reach its highest half-year deal value on record.
uu Consolidation amongst Chinese companies has driven M&A activity within Asia-Pacific (excl. Japan)'s Media sector, resulting in an all-
time high H1 deal value, with 49 deals worth US$ 16.0bn announced. As a result, deal value reached its second largest half-year total
on record following H2 2015 (US$ 19.3bn). Chinese domestic media dealmaking (24 deals, US$ 12.5bn) accounted for 78.4% of the
total value, as companies seek to compete on the global stage. This deal value was heavily influenced by Wanda Cinema Lines US$
5.7bn acquisition of Wanda Media, allowing the company to expand its reach into the film production sector.

uu President Abes election campaign, with its focus on boosting the economy, seems to be creating returns for Japanese dealmakers.
With 195 deals worth US$ 30.7bn announced during H1 2016, Japans M&A deal value reached its largest H1 deal value since 2012
(US$ 40.4bn), increasing 67.8% compared to H1 2015. As a result, average deal size rose to US$ 251.6m, marking its highest since
2012 (US$ 328.1m).
uu A surge in consolidation between Japanese companies is driving M&A activity, as businesses snap up the less efficient within a
crowded market. During H1 2016, 175 domestic deals worth US$ 27.2bn represented a 93.4% increase by value compared to H1 2015
(US$ 14.0bn), despite accounting for 29 fewer deals. A surge in big-ticket deals has fuelled the rise, with six domestic deals over US$
1bn recorded, compared to just three in H1 2015.
uu Following an impressive 2015 for overseas deal activity, Japans outbound M&A has slowed during the first half of 2016, with 125
deals worth US$ 16.1bn dropping 70.7% by value compared to H1 2015 (US$ 55.1bn), its lowest half-year value since H1 2013 (US$
12.8bn). The size of deals has shrunk dramatically, with just four outbound deals over US$ 1bn announced in H1 2016, compared to
14 during the same period in 2015.
uu This drop in outbound activity has been felt most acutely within the Financial Services industry, which proved 2015's most targeted
sector by Japanese investors. In terms of Japan's overseas M&A activity, the industry saw 27 deals worth US$ 34.8bn during 2015,
marking its highest annual total on record. However a fall in activity was seen in H1 2016, with just US$ 1.3bn-worth of deals
representing a substantial 92% drop in value compared to H1 2015, and its lowest half year value since H2 2009 (US$ 409m).

uu Energy, Mining & Utilities M&A continues to feel the effects of volatile commodity prices seen over the past year. Despite China
Molybdenum's US$ 2.7bn acquisition of a 56% stake in Congo-based Tenke Fungurume Mining bolstering Chinese activity (three
deals, US$ 4.0bn), an uptick in the number of deals has not been seen. With just 18 deals announced, deal volume within the sector
saw its lowest H1 performance since 2003 (nine deals).
uu As part of a global M&A strategy of picking up valuable assets abroad, Chinese dealmakers are investing in high valued transactions
within the region. With seven deals worth US$ 4.5bn announced, H1 2016 has already overtaken 2015s total annual value (US$ 1.9bn)
by 139.2%. This surge in activity has overtaken all annual values since 2013 US$ 9.0bn), and stands just three deals away from 2015's
record-breaking total deal volume.
uu M&A targeting the Consumer sector has gathered pace within the region, driven by M&A within the food sub-sector. During H1 2016,
16 deals worth US$ 10.4bn targeting the sub-sector has overtaken all annual deal values on record. According to Mergermarket
