The value of merger and acquisition deals has continued to grow at a fast pace. As of December 016, the number of outbound acquisitions by corporations in Shandong was 7 times higher than in 015. One factor is that increasing numbers of corporations in Shandong are looking to access overseas markets. Further, new policies encouraging SOE mixedownership reform, group restructuring and upgrades in industrial structures have led to more investors in manufacturing, energy & resources, agriculture &food industries. These increases have contributed to the rise of deal value in Shandong Province.

Outlook Shandong Province M&A Review and Outlook 014016 17
Outlook for 017 We are still cautiously positive about the future mergers & acquisitions market in Shandong Province from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. Following changes and rebalancing in global political and economical structures, there are increasing uncertainties both internationally and domestically. The rate of outbound acquisitions by PRC corporations gradually slowed down in the first quarter in 017. However, we expect that outbound acquisitions with strategic implications will still be encouraged. M&A transactions in Shandong are on course to continue to develop and integrate with existing resources, ultimately compensating for deficiencies in the local industry chain. SOE mixedownership restructuring and corporation restructuring are expected to become a popular focus for the future. TMT, education, tourism, medical and health industries are expected to enter a new growth cycle, while manufacturing are anticipated to continue playing a vital role in the local economy.

Our Suggestions Shandong Province M&A Review and Outlook 014016 19
Our Suggestions Following the robust expansion of current business, corporations in Shandong Province can consider utlisingexisting M&A experience, and focusing on capital management to stimulate the economy, which will ultimately improve the pace of business development. Under the current circumstances, we recommend corporations set out a clear M&A objective and strategy. The M&A objective and strategy will play a crucial role in making optimal assessments for each transaction. Additionally, the focus of M&A feasibility assessments should go beyond financial, legal, valuation and tax perspectives, to also cover comprehensive plan integration as well as making a backup plan to account for potential risks that can arise when executing deals. When it comes to PRC corporations acquiring technology assets from overseas markets, external IP acquisition and internal IP generation should be treated as equally important. Sustainable development can only be achieved by improving R&D capabilities, which will enable corporations to achieve even more in the future. Greater international reach will be achieved through outbound acquisitions. Corporations should also continue to develop the domestic market and build up to becoming multinational by establishing an international presence with an appropriate share structure and attracting talented employees with a global view.
