1 Quarterly Deal Performance Monitor Q A study by Cass Business School for Willis Towers Watson Monday 04 July

2 Key PR Messages Following a slow start of the year (5.3pp for Q1 2016), acquirers closing deals in Q posted an outperformance of 5.8pp (7.3pp) over the Index compared to 8.1pp in Q The quarterly volume of deals was the lowest since Q2 2014, currently at 211 (182) deals mainly due to a drop in North America. The market for mega-deals (over $10 billion) was up in Q with 11 (10) deals, following an aggressive year of mega deals, and is at an all time high since our analysis began in Asia was once again the outstanding performer this quarter, followed by an outperformance of Europe and North America. The Asian acquirers maintained their performance and continued to dominate their peers consistently, and posted a performance of 22.5pp (22.8pp) above their regional index. The performance of acquirers in Q are on the rise for Domestic, Intra-regional and Cross-sector, as compared to Q

3 Overview Acquirers outperformed the Index in the second quarter of 2016, with 5.8pp (7.3pp) above the Index. The three-year rolling average performance for global acquirers is currently at 5.9pp (6.1pp) (this is due to the high outperformance in the last three quarters of 2015 and Q1 2014) with the performance since the start of the QDPM in Q currently at 4.1pp. The analysis of acquirer performance using adjusted total returns also shows a performance of 6.5pp above the Index for Q Following a slow start in the number of deals closed last quarter, Q has only 211 (182) deals closed which is reasonably low compared to the number of deals closed for a Q2 compared to the corresponding quarter in year 2014 and Asian acquirers have maintained the top spot in the performance league in the quarterly analysis since Q1 2014, with their outperformance of 22.5pp (22.8pp) above their regional index which is insignificantly higher than last quarter. Acquirers from Europe show an outperformance of 7.0pp (5.9pp) above their regional index but on a decline compared to the last three quarters, followed by North America, which is outperforming their index, currently at 1.5pp (2.2pp). In the three year rolling analysis, Asia-Pacific acquirers are also in the top spot, with 24.3pp above their regional index followed by European and North American acquirers which have outperformed their regional index over the same period by 4.2pp and 3.5pp respectively. In the industry analysis, we find the Consumer Staples, Energy and Power and Telecommunication sector are underperforming their respective index whilst the rest of the industries which are underperforming their respective index are Consumer Products and Services, Financial Services, Healthcare, High technology, Industrials and Materials. Note the data size issues for industry categories. The performance of Domestic, Intra-regional and Cross-sector acquirers significantly increase compared to last quarter, whilst quick deals are significantly higher than last quarter and the corresponding quarter last year. Acquirers buying large deals (over $1bn deal value) are outperforming the market and currently at 7.3pp while mega deals resurfaced this quarter with and all time high of 11 deals. This study focuses on deals which were completed during the second quarter of In order to perform a comparative analysis, data from Q and Q has been included. The sample is global and all deals have a value of $100 million or above. In addition, all merger-of-equals deals and minority and remaining purchases have been excluded, as well as those in the Real Estate sector. The analysis has been conducted from the point of view of the acquirer and share price performance compared to various MSCI indices (world, industry and region). Percentage changes in share prices are measured from six months before the announcement date to the end of the corresponding quarter post-completion. Medians have been used throughout. 3

21 Appendix C: Sample Restrictions All deals completed between 01 April 2016 and 30 June 2016, with a value of at least $100 million, were downloaded from the Thomson One Banker database. Note that all deals where the acquirer owned less than 50% of the shares of the target after the acquisition were excluded, hence no minority purchases were considered. All deals in which the acquirer held 50% or more of the target shares prior to the acquisition were removed, hence no remaining purchases were considered. All deals where the acquirer did not have a recognised Datastream code for the download of share prices were removed, hence the sample includes only public acquirers (a total of 218 deals). All deals which were announced before 1 January 2014 were removed. All merger-of-equals deals (when identified as merger-of-equals by the database) were removed. All deals for which Datastream did not have a share price for the acquirer share six months prior to the announcement or where the share price did not move over the period of the analysis were removed (7 deals). All deals in which the acquirer or the target were from the Real Estate sector were removed. The final sample is made up of 211 deals. Note that descriptive statistics (slide 19 and 20) for Q and YTD 2016 only include completed deals up to and including 30 June 2016 whereas the statistics for Q and YTD 2015 include all of the completed deals in the quarter. Note that the Quick vs Slow deals are defined as follows: Quick deals are transactions which completed in under 70 days from the day of announcement, whereas Slow deals are those which completed in 70 days or more from the same day. 21
