6 Global Review Notable Highlights Companies in the oil exploration and production sector were the most targeted industry by volume in 212, most of which is attributed to CNOOC s takeover of Nexen Inc valued at about $17 billion and Freeport-McMoRan s December announcement to buy Plains Exploration & Production as well as McMoRan Exploration Co. The number of mega deals (above $5 billion) has decreased from 6 in 211 to 5 this year, primarily attributed to transactions in the cellular telecom industry. Japan is still the 2 nd most acquisitive country this year as takeover activity by Japanese firms reached a new record high with more than $186 billion in deal volume. 212 Global M&A Volume by Target Region 212 Top Industry Breakdown $5, 3% 5% 22% North America Latin America & Caribbean 44% Western Europe Eastern Europe Middle East & Africa Asia Pacific 21% 5% Total Volume (USD Mln) $4, $3, $2, $1, $311 $196 $131 $125 $118 Financial Consumer, Non-cyclical Energy Industrial Communications Avg.

7 Global Review Notable Highlights The potential risk of a recession in the UK hasn t deterred M&A activity of foreign buyers investing in UK companies. Capital Inflow into the UK increased 5.2% from 211. However, capital outflow decreased 23.6% from 211. APAC was the most acquisitive region with a slight uptick from 211, led by Japan's increased interest in cross-border M&A activity.

8 Global Review Fourth-Quarter M&A Surge Spurs Optimism After 212 Deals Decline By Aaron Kirchfeld and Serena Saitto (Dec. 27) -- Global mergers and acquisitions rose to the highest level in four years this quarter, as a surge in U.S. deals provided ground for optimism and salvaged what had been the worst year for takeovers since the financial crisis. Companies worldwide have announced $691.9 billion in purchases in the final three months of the year, the most since the third quarter of 28, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. While transactions for all of 212 shrank about 1 percent to $2.19 trillion, the same level as 21, about $86 billion of telecommunications deals, including Softbank Corp. s planned purchase of a stake in Sprint Nextel Corp., gave the end of the year a boost. Chief executive officers sitting on more than $3.5 trillion in cash held off on deals for most of 212 as Europe slid into recession, developing economies such as China cooled and $6 billion in possible spending cuts and tax increases threatened U.S. growth. The three biggest acquisitions of the year besides Glencore-Xstrata were all announced this quarter, while Intercontinental Exchange Inc. s $8.2 billion purchase of NYSE Euronext led $77 billion in transactions announced during last week alone, the data show. At the end of the third quarter, the pace of deals was set to result in the worst year since 29. Telecommunications deals have dominated the recovery this quarter, as Tokyo-based Softbank agreed to pay about $2 billion for 7 percent of Sprint and Deutsche Telekom AG s T-Mobile USA unit agreed to a $29 billion combination with MetroPCS Communications Inc. Takeovers by Asian companies in the fourth quarter rose to their highest level in more than a year, helped by Softbank s Sprint purchase. The deal was the biggest publicly announced outbound purchase by a Japanese company on record and marks the most acquisitive quarter for Japanese firms in a decade, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
