Mergers and Acquisitions Conference 2015
New York City, where
Whether deal making brings more positives than negatives isonce again an important question, because it is back with avengeance: U.S. M&A roared back to life and is up 50% thisyear. Deal activity is now running at its highest levels on recordat estimated trillion and a half for 2014, the first time that itwould cross that level for a full year.
Bruce Wasserstein, the Wall Street investment banker who helped pioneerthe hostile takeover in the 1980s and reshaped the mergers andacquisitions business into a high art, was ambivalent about his trade. Thebest rainmakers were capable men, he once said according to TheEconomist, but deal making also attracted hustlers and swaggeringmediocrities. Whereas takeovers made the business world more dynamic,they also led to pain, dislocations and blunders.

savvy deal makers, renowned investors and
inquisitive experts will bring their latest
Goldman Sachs has cemented its position as the top WallStreet bank for mergers and acquisitions in one of thebusiest years in the business, with recent roles on two bigacquisitions worth a combined $100 billion:Actaviss$66billion agreement to buy Allergan and Halliburtons $34.6billion planned purchase of Baker Hughes. On the otherend of the spectrum, boutique advisory firms have also
benefited seeing their share of U.S. M&A fees increasedto 16%, up from just 8% in 2008.
The record run has been driven by strong demand from both domestic andforeign buyers that include Chinese investors. The value of announced U.S.domestic M&A volume, where both the buyer and seller are based locally, isup 33%. Meanwhile, the value of announced deals in which a foreign firm isbuying a local one has multiplied three times from last years total. In fact,four of the ten biggest deals in the U.S. involve foreign buyers.

Is the latest resurgence of deal making
activity the real thing?
The deal making explosion has not been confined to justone region or industry. Activity across the three biggestmarkets, the US, Europe and Asia, has been strongthroughout the year. Firms across these markets havestarted to move away from the risk aversion and organicexpansion embraced in the aftermath of the globalfinancial crisis. The belief that significant levels ofgrowth can be more easily purchased than built isreturning to the markets. Does this renewed confidencehave strong pillars that will support growth? Whatdifferences exist among different markets? Whichindustries are set to continue carrying the M&A torch?

New rules for corporate tax inversions and the
impact on pending deals
After a flurry of so-called inversions, in which Americancompanies bought overseas competitors and movedtheir headquarters abroad to reduce their tax bills, theU.S. Treasury in September announced rules targetingthe transactions that reduce the economic benefits ofinversions after the fact, and in some cases, stop themaltogether. How will these new rules impact ongoingdeals? Are we witnessing the end of hopscotch loansthat allow corporations to avoid dividend taxes whentapping tax-deferred foreign profits? What about theusage of decontrolling strategies that restructureforeign units so they are no longer U.S.-controlled?

The role of private equity and the activist
hedge fund in M&A
Five years after the end of the financial crisis,it appears that corporations are finally willingto make big bets again. CEOs seem nolonger worried about a double-dip recessionor another Eurozone crisis. Instead, they arebetting on growth in the years ahead,displacing private equity from theacquisitions machines steering wheel andpartnering with activist hedge funds such asthose run by Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn. Willthe advantages of tax inversions continueout-muscling private equity firms? Willactivist funds, more powerful than ever inAmerica, stop unreasonable deals from
going forward?

Pharmas Gordian knot: How to fill in gaps in
their product offerings
Healthcare has been the busiest sector in U.S.M&A in 2014. Health-care companies with deeppockets and shallow product pipelines are set fora busy time in the acquisitions front, withbiotechnology firms among the most prominenttargets even as they trade at record highs. Drugmakers like Pfizer, Actavis, Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb are dealing with patent expirationson top medicines and cutting researchers as theyrefocus their product development strategies. WillM&A solve pharmas hunt for new products to fillin gaps in their offerings? Will cost-cuttingsynergies run their course anytime soon? Whichcombinations still make sense after a great run in
2014?

Telecom M&A: More of a babys head on a
monkeys body?
Telecommunications firms are seeking to bolster theirfootprints across the country and gain more negotiatingpower with content providers. Comcasts agreement tobuy Time Warner Cable was followed by AT&Tsagreement to buy DirecTV for $48.5 billion. Even mediagiants like 21st Century Fox, run by Rupert Murdoch,looked to deal making, in part to give them more clout touse against distributors. Will big deals really beget bigdeals? Will the number of players left without a dancepartner catch M&A fever? Will we see more babysheads on monkeys bodies?

Will megatrends driving tech M&A defy
uncertainty about the global economy?
Ernst & Young says there are five megatrends drivingtech M&A: smart mobility, cloud computing, socialnetworking, big data analytics and accelerated
technology adaptation. Historically, tech M&A wasdriven by major vendors like Hewlett-Packard, Oracleand IBM trying to expand their reach by acquiringcompanies to consolidate and build on established techproduct families. Now its disruptive technology thats inthe crosshairs, as consolidation involves corporationsneeding to catch up in a way that they are not able to dofast enough organically. Will uncertainty about theeconomy stop tech leaders in their tracks? How strongis the technology M&A outlook for 2015? Are technologyexecs confident in their own corporate earnings?

Is todays M&A boom going to end badly?
Long experiences of booms and slumps in M&Ahave made investors wary. Veteran fund managersand academics argue that deals satisfy executives
vanity and enrich their bankers and lawyers, butdestroy value for shareholders. Reflecting thisworry, when a firm announces an acquisition itsshares have tended to fall. However, since 2012acquirers share prices have generally been stableor have risen, according to McKinsey. Might thistime be different? Might the benefits of M&A bemore evenly spread between targets and acquirersthis time round? Will institutional investors act as abrake on corporate chiefs empire-building dreams?Will tighter regulation for too-big-to-fail bulge-
bracket banks restrain financing of big M&A deals?
