7 Americas M&A Regional Review The US continues to drive M&A activity in the Americas, with an increase of 12.2% in volume from 1H2014. Dealmaking in Brazil fell close to 50%, impacted by a devaluation of currency and an overall economic slowdown in the country. The consumer, non-cyclical industry was the most targeted in 1H2015 with the largest deal volume as well as the highest deal count at a total of $283.1B and 1,923 deals. This was driven by the pharmaceutical and food sub-sectors. For the second year in a row, telecommunications had the largest deal in the first half with Charter Communications Inc announcing its acquisition of Time Warner Cable Inc. However, volume in the telecommunications sub-sector as a whole is down 57.7% compared to the same period last year.

10 EMEA M&A Review At $409.7B, a marginal 0.6% increase on 1H2014, volume in EMEA was consistent with that of the previous last half of the year. The oil and gas industry replaced real estate as the top industry by volume in the region, driven by the acquisition of BG Group PLC by Royal Dutch Shell PLC, at $79.3B. Shell's offer represented a 54.1% premium at the time of announcement, driven mainly by BG's LNG assets. The premium was double that of Mobil Corp when acquired by Exxon Corp in 1998 (26.2%). The average premium in 1H2015 increased compared to 1H2014 (24.28% from 19.4%), with acquisitions within the mining industry drawing particularly high premiums of 78.9% compared to others. Private equity volume in 1H2015 increased 25.3% from the same period of the prior year. Private equity in EMEA increased at a higher rate than the global benchmark change of 10.7% YTD.
