OVERALL
In H2 2013, the M&A climate was in a strikingly similar position to the same period in 2012: while value declined 3.3% year-on-year (YoY) to US$1.2tn, volume edged up 3.2% to 7,177 deals. Despite not seeing a much-anticipated revival of animal spirits in 2013, there have been encouraging signs of increased activity across certain segments of the M&A landscape.
Real EstateThe real estate sector has proven to be a dominant force in recent months, increasing 26% YoY in volume and 86% YoY in value to a respective 148 deals worth US$82.8bn in H2 2013. This activity has been particularly active in developed markets, like the US, Canada and Australia. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have had much success listing this past year, such as Blackstone Group-owned Brixmor Property Group, selling more shares than anticipated during its IPO this past October. This influx of cash, paired with the relatively unconsolidated state of the space, has provided fertile ground for M&A.
A case in point is Brookfield Property Partnership’s announced purchase of the 50.7% stake in Brookfield Office Properties it did not yet already own. The deal is valued at US$17.3bn. The deal is intended to tighten Brookfield’s ownership structure. This also would help to further diversify Brookfield’s portfolio, helping to generate increased returns for investors. Brookfield is expected to continue to make more transformative transactions over the coming weeks.
ExitsAnother case in point is exit activity. Globally in the latter half of 2013, exits have risen 19% YoY by volume to 910 deals. Value paints an equally encouraging picture, increasing 11% to US$161.9bn over the same period. Trade sales continued to gather steam in H2 2013, which marks a substantial departure from the preponderance of secondary buyouts seen in the years immediately following the credit crunch. As private equity firms typically look to sell for premiums in order to recoup their initial investments, this trend points to corporates being in better financial positions, or being more bearish about the prospects of transformative acquisitions, than they were in previous months.
One stand-out exit was Sysco Corporation’s US$8.2bn announced acquisition of US Foods from Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts. The deal sees the two firms exiting their initial investment of US$7.2bn in 2007.
Although this has yet to translate into an uptick in exit activity, this activity demonstrates that private equity firms are seeing returns on their pre-crisis investments, and are in an increasingly strong position to re-invest capital over the coming months.

A MERGERMARKET M&A REPORT ON
LATIN AMERICA
Monthly M&A Insider | January | 09
With 2013 completed, it is safe to say that mergers and acquisitions in Latin America did not witness a very harsh decline in activity, even though it was the weakest year for M&A since 2009 (US$74.4bn). During the year, 611 deals worth US$86.4bn were announced. Compared to 2012 (US$117.6bn, 667 deals), there was a 26.5% decrease by deal value and an 8.4% drop by deal count.
Last quarter of the year alone witnessed the announcement of 147 deals worth US$25.6bn, down 22.9% on Q4 2012 (US$33.2bn). Despite the low figures, Q4 was the highest- valued quarter of 2013: Q1 – US$17.9bn, Q2 – US$21bn, and Q3 – US$21.9bn.
Energy, Mining and Utilities was the dominant sector in H2 2013 (US$13.2bn, 50 deals), representing a 27.7% market share by deal value. The second most active sector by deal value was Consumer, with 40 deals worth US$6.8bn, a 14.3% market share.
The Latin American Financial Advisors League Tables for H2 2013 saw a lot of movement compared to the same period in 2012. Brazil-based Banco BTG Pactual climbed eight positions to top the tables by value. The firm was also the top advisor by deal count. It recorded 21 deals worth US$9.2bn in H2 2013, an 82.8% increase in value from H2 2012 (US$5bn).
Having advised on five deals worth US$25.5bn, Cleary Gottieb Steen & Hamilton topped the Legal Advisor League Tables by value, a significant jump from the eighth place last year. Mattos Filho, Veiga Filho, Marrey Jr. e Quiroga Advogados was number one by deal count and advised on 22 deals valued at US$6.3bn.
The deal of the half was the acquisition of Petrobras Energia Peru (PESA) from Petroleo Brasileiro (Petrobras) by PetroChina for a consideration of US$2.6bn. PESA is engaged in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, and PetroChina is looking to expand its operations in Latin America and to develop its overseas business. The transaction was in line with Petrobras’ divestment program outlined in its 2013-2017 Business and Management Plan. Petrobras and PESA were advised by Citi and their internal counsel, while PetroChina mandated Deutsche Bank and the legal counsel of Miranda & Amado Abogados and Vinson & Elkins.
Brazil maintained its position as the most active country in the region with 169 deals worth US$27.9bn announced in H2 2013, a 32.8% increase when compared to H2 2012 (US$21bn). The upward trend is encouraging – M&A was up despite a year filled with social protests and currency volatility, as well as the largest ever corporate default in Latin America, after Eike Batista, a Brazilian tycoon, declared bankruptcy.
Brazil’s M&A outlook for 2014 is unclear. There are still several uncertainty factors, such as the World Cup in June, October elections of a new president, federal and state lawmakers and 27 governors, the consequences of Batista’s default, and the fear of further street protests. All of these factors make strategic buyers more hesitant. On the other hand, with the currency at its lowest levels in four years, private equity firms are expected to seek more takeovers, which should increase the flow of foreign capital into the country.
The second most active country in Latin America was Mexico with 39 deals worth US$4.2bn. Mexico, however, is still uncertain of its energy sector liberalisation, the much anticipated reform needed to activate the country’s internal market for M&A activity.
Chile was also an important player in the region with 27 deals valued at US$3.9bn in the second half of 2013. Peru, Colombia, and Argentina had an active second half as well, with 21, 23, and 15 deals, respectively. It is expected that in 2014 the Pacific Alliance (Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru) will gain a greater market share of M&A activity in the region. In H2 2013, Peru saw the sale of PESA to PetroChina. Walmart Chile was also in the top 10 deals of the half with its sale to another Chile-based company, Inversiones Australes Tres Limitada, for US$1.5bn.
According to the banker community, Latin America is still attractive to international and local companies that are looking south to deploy their huge cash piles. European companies are also seeking a chance to create value through Latin American businesses, as seen by the purchase of Orange Dominicana by Altice VII in November 2013. Asia is definitely showing more interest in the region. All of these factors will undoubtedly shape M&A activity in Latin America in 2014.

A MERGERMARKET M&A REPORT ON
NORTH AMERICA
Due to high-valued mega-deals during the summer months, North American M&A for H2 2013 came to US$597.2bn, a 56.8% increase over H1 2013 (US$380.8bn). But despite the jump, 2013 as a whole (US$978bn) saw less than 1% increase over 2012 (US$973.7bn), the highest full year performance since pre-crisis in 2007 (US$1,538.7bn).
North American buyouts were also on par with last year, ending 2013 with US$137bn, only a 2% increase from 2012 (US$134.3bn). Exits were 6.8% lower this year with US$149.2bn compared to last year (US$160.2bn) despite H2 exits increasing by 85.1% over H1, going from US$52.3bn to US$96.9bn. Exits consistently increased all year and Q4 alone comprised 39% of all exits with US$58.9bn, the highest exit value since Q2 2010 (US$50.7bn).
IPOs have also been on the rise for the past few years, with 169 IPOs worth US$40bn in 2013, a 62.5% increase by volume and a 48% increase by value from 2012 (104 IPOs worth US$27bn). 2011 saw only 104 IPOs, collectively valued at US$28bn.
The Telecommunications sector dominated in terms of value, closing out the year with only 28 deals worth a whopping US$137.3bn, mainly due to the top deal for H2: Verizon Communications’ acquisition of a 45% stake in Verizon Wireless from Vodafone announced in September and worth US$124.1bn. Other than Telecommunications, Technology and Media – the other two sectors in the consolidated TMT sector – also saw top deals for H2, with Publicis Groupe’s US$19.4bn acquisition of Omnicom Group as the third largest deal and Activision Blizzard and Leonard Green & Partners’ US$8.2bn acquisition of a 53.75% stake in Activision Blizzard from Vivendi rounding out the top 10 deals for H2.
Overall, the Telecommunications and Technology sectors were two of only five sectors to mark increases in both volume and value for H2 2013 when compared to H2 2012, as Telecom jumped 147% by value and a 33% increase in volume from H2 2012 (US$55.5bn, 21 deals to US$137.3bn, 28 deals) and Technology increased 26% by value and 17% by volume (US$37.1bn, 291 deals to US$46.8bn, 340 deals).
The second highest deal for H2 was AerCap Holdings’ US$26.4bn acquisition of International Lease Finance Corporation in the Financial Services sector; yet, despite this high value transaction being one of 199 deals worth US$51bn, the sector saw a 23% decrease in value and a 5% decrease in volume from H2 2012 (US$65.8bn, 210 deals).
Goldman Sachs was the top financial adviser by value and volume, rounding out H2 2013 with 120 deals worth US$300.5bn, a 35.7% value increase from H2 2012 (US$221.4bn). Morgan Stanley came in second by value and volume with 94 deals worth US$293.4bn. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett was top legal adviser by value, having advised on 87 deals worth US$220.3bn, and Kirkland & Ellis was the top adviser by volume, with 160 deals worth US$67.5bn.
Looking back, North American M&A numbers have been steadily rising each year, coming closer to matching pre-crisis numbers thanks to the return of mega-deals seen earlier this year. Companies seem to be regaining confidence and 2014 will hopefully be a reflection on this increased economic optimism.

A MERGERMARKET M&A REPORT ON
ASIA-PACIFIC
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) across Asia-Pacific for the second half of 2013 totalled 1,547 deals worth US$247bn. This was a 5.3% increase by volume and a 24% increase by value over H1 2013 (1,469 deals worth US$199bn). Compared year on year, figures rose 8.2% by volume (1,430 deals) and 12% by value (US$220bn).
Top transactionsDeal values were driven by a number of headline-making transactions in H2 2013. These were led by the US$10bn Westfield Retail Trust deal and the merger between US-based Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron Limited (valued at US$8.7bn).
The Westfield deal involved a merger between the group’s Australia and New Zealand business and Westfield Retail Trust to form a new entity: Scentre Group (SG). The deal, once completed, will make SG, one of the largest real estate investment trusts (REIT) in Australia since 1970. Overall, M&A into Asia’s real estate sector accounted for 4.1% of volume and 9.1% of value with 64 deals worth US$22.6bn in H2 2013.
The Applied Materials-Tokyo Electron merger was the result of sluggish demand for computers and televisions, developments that have affected the cost efficiency levels of the two companies, both of which specialise in semiconductor and display technology. The merger is expected to allow the combined business to produce new technology at lower costs. Similar M&A in the TMT space saw 226 deals valued at US$39.4bn (15% of volume and 16% of value).
The financial services sector had the third largest transaction of the half-year: Japan-based Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group’s US$5.5bn acquisition of Thai banking group Ayudhya. The transaction will enable Mitsubishi UFJ to establish a full-fledged banking platform in Southeast Asia. In total, the financial services sector saw 108 deals (7% volume) worth US$41.3bn (16.7% value).
The energy sector burns brightThe energy, mining, & utilities space saw three of the top 10 deals for the half-year. These deals were headed by the US$5.4bn acquisition of a minority stake in the Kashagan Oil Project by China National Petroleum Corporation. The oil field is expected to produce 550,000 barrels of crude oil per day and will help China meet its growing energy needs.
Australia-based APA Group, an operator of gas transmission pipelines, engaged in an acquisition of a majority stake in Envestra Ltd, a listed Australia-based natural gas distribution company headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia. The deal was valued at US$3.1bn. APA also expects the acquisition can strengthen the balance sheet and provide broader access to capital.
The third energy transaction involved CLP Holdings and China Southern Power Grid, both agreeing to acquire a 60% stake in Castle Peak Power Company Limited from Exxon Mobil Corporation. Castle Peak Power Company Limited (CPPC), the Hong Kong-based company, owns and operates coal fired power stations. CLP has invested as part of its strategy of investing in Hong Kong’s power sector. As part of the total M&A pie for Asia-Pacific, the energy mining & utilities sector saw dealmakers announce 162 deals (10.5% volume) worth US$45.4bn (18.4% value).
Buyouts remain flatBuyout activity among private equity dealmakers remained stable from H1 2012. The first half of the year saw 137 such transactions, with 142 in H2 2013. In value terms, totals for the year came to US$16.5bn in H1 2013 and US$20bn in H2 2013.
Australia had the largest buyout, involving institutional buyers, with the US$3.1bn acquisition of Commonwealth Property Office Fund by the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board.
South Korea’s MBK Partners had one of the largest buyout deals by a PE firm with the US$1.7bn acquisition of the Korean unit of ING Life Insurance. This deal was followed by another Korean deal, the US$1.6bn acquisition of Hanjin Shipping by PE firm Hahn & Company. A cautious approach to M&A by South Korea’s corporates and rising optimism among private equity houses has allowed domestic firms to flourish recently, a trend that could continue into 2014.
Global buyout firm KKR also made headlines by acquiring the healthcare unit from Japan-based Panasonic. That deal was worth US$1.3bn. KKR’s transaction is a symbolic victory for international private equity in Japan, which has long faced difficulties investing in the Asian country amid distrust toward foreign buyers.

41 In Mar-13, Vologodskiye Lesopromyshlenniki was looking to sell a minority stake to raise US$100m for a new plant, as reported. The sources declined to comment on whether the current 44% stake sale is connected with the earlier plan.Another reason for a stake sale might come from shrinking margins in the industry and its future prospects. According to the Economic Development Ministry, wood processing in Russia in H1 2013 dropped 4.2%, while pulp industry volumes were down 7.9%.Other industry reports note that the number of Russian wood exporters decreased by 22% in 2012, while the average export price dropped by 12%.Vologodskiye Lesopromyshlenniki is a privately owned group of companies focused on the production and sale of timber. The company’s assets are located in the Vologda region, 400km from Moscow.

- - Razgulay Group
434 Razgulay Group, the Russian agro-industrial holding, plans to dispose a raft of its processing firms and farming land plots in some Russian regions, Chairman Rustem Mirgalimov said. Geographically, the disposal plans are expected to include some of the group’s assets located in the Samara and Rostov regions as well as in several other parts of the country, the executive explained, but declined to name the specific assets. These sales are being planned as a part of the group’s ongoing three-year restructuring program expected to end in 2014. The objective of the sales is to offload assets that are no longer strategic to the group’s operations. Razgulay has been offloading parts of its industrial holdings, a sector banker said, citing the sale of Izobilie Grain Production Firm among the group’s most recent divestments. The Stavropol Region-based cereals-focused entity was offloaded earlier this year to Venture Projects Financing (Finansirovaniye Venchurnych Proektov), according to the group’s data.The new divestments will be a continuation of the group’s non-strategic assets disposals program launched in 2012 with a stated mission of raising of up to RUB6bn (US$200m), the banker said, but declined to pinpoint potential targets.Management are also likely to be using the sales to offset the group’s debts, which at the beginning of the year stood at RUB25bn-26bn, the banker explained, citing the group’s data.
Expected deal Desnagrain Agriculture, Consumer: Foods
Bayer - - 30 Desnagrain, the Ukrainian grain cultivator and processor, could be acquired by German group Bayer, online Russian language daily Delo reported. The report cited a statement by the AMCU, Ukraine’s antitrust regulator, giving clearance to Bayer’s Ukrainian subsidiary to acquire Desnagrain. The report noted that Desnagrain is presently owned by French agricultural cooperative Vivescia. According to a statement by the EBRD, Desnagrain received a US$20m loan from the lender in 2008.

A MERGERMARKET M&A REPORT ON
THE MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA
The most active sector in H2 2013 was Energy, Mining & Utilities with US$11.6bn worth of deals accounting for a 38.6% share of the region’s market. Despite boasting seven of the top 10 deals announced in the region in the second half of 2013, the sector posted a 17.6% decrease on its deal value performance compared to H2 2012 (US$14.1bn), at which time the sector bloomed to account for 49.7% of the dealmaking landscape. The top deal in the sector was China-based Sinopec’s 33% stake acquisition in Texas-based Apache Corporation’s Egypt oil and gas business for a total consideration of US$3.1bn.
Telecommunications followed suit, claiming a 23% share of the market as it logged US$6.9bn worth of transactions through H2 2013. The figure represents a 116.3% increase on the US$3.2bn value logged through H2 2012. The sector’s top deal, Emirates Telecommunications Corporation’s 53% stake acquisition in Maroc Telecom for a total consideration of US$6.1bn, received wide coverage in local media and served as a reminder of the sector’s growth potential in the region.
South Africa and Morocco were the most active countries by deal value with market shares ranking at 21.1% and a 20.8% respectively. South Africa also led the market with transaction volume, logging a third (33.2%) of all deals in the region through H2 2013. London law firm Linklaters predicts foreign direct investment will increase in the next few years, as South Africa’s relatively developed economy continues to attract cash-rich corporates from the Asia-Pacific region as a platform for investment in the African continent. Published in December
2013 as part of a publicly available outlook on the region’s momentum, the firm also expects outbound dealmaking – particularly to other Sub-Saharan countries from South Africa – will continue to grow as developing African economies like Nigeria and Ghana gain traction.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch clinched a surprising first place on the financial advisor league table, jumping an astronomical 59 places owing to its being mandated 8 successful deals valued at a total US$12.1bn through H2 2013. Based on these figures, Bank of America Merrill Lynch advised on 40.1% of all transactions in the region, in stark contrast to its lending counsel on a meager US$30m through H2 2012. As for corporate law, Linklaters topped the legal advisor league table with 11 deals worth US$9.9bn, up 86.1% from the US$5.3bn figure that placed the firm in second place through H2 2012.
Looking into the New Year, the region may seek methods of funnelling growth through responsible channels. Commenting on Kenya’s wealth of natural resources, David Cowan, Citigroup’s senior economist for Africa, asserted “There’s been a huge change under the constitution that decentralises government … that’s where a lot of this spending pressure is going to come [from]. All those popular pressures underneath are growing and they will grow more and more. Governments will somehow have to meet that.” Several campaigns focused on the need to ring-fence the nation’s anticipated oil wealth for the benefit of local communities.
In H2 2013, the Middle East & Africa slowed in overall value as transactions totalled US$30.1bn, down 12.3% from US$34.3bn in H1 2013 though logging a 6.2% increase from US$28.3bn in H2 2012. Despite a year-end arrest, H2 2013 marks the best H2 value since the financial crisis, following the region’s record figure of US$54.6bn in H2 2007. Deal volume through H2 2013 also edged an upturn, logging 211 deals or a 12.2% increase from 188 deals in H1 2013. The figure also marks an increase of 25.6% on the 168 deals completed this time last year.
