Foreword – explanation of data shown in this presentation (2 of 2)
• “VC deals” refer to financial buyer deals with deal value less than US$10mn and/or with undisclosed deal value but invested by VCs
• “Strategic buyer” refers to corporate buyers (as opposed to financial buyers) that acquire companies with the objective of integrating the acquisition in their existing business • “Financial buyer” refers to investors that acquire companies with the objective of realizing a return on their investment by selling the business at a profit at a future date and mainly, but not entirely, comprise PE and VC funds • In order to exclude foreign exchange impact, deal values from 2008 to 2012 were adjusted based on 2013 average Rmb/US$ exchange rate

Overview
PwC
Key messages (1 of 2) Overall •
China deal numbers recovered from multi-year lows in the first half of 2013, increasing by more than 40% in the second half; nearly all categories of M&A showed strong growth
•
On an annualised basis – despite the quiet first half – overall deal volumes grew by 8% and values by 28% in 2013 compared to 2012; deal values reached a record high at US$260 billion with 43 deals greater than US$1 billion in 2013, compared to 30 in 2012
China Outbound •
China outbound M&A recovered with more deals announced in the second half of 2013 than in any earlier half-year period; and on a full-year basis, outbound M&A compared well with the last few years, although the soft first half meant no new records in 2013
•
POE activity was surprisingly low in the first half but rebounded to a new six-month high with 88 announced deals in the second half, whilst SOE activity was robust and deal values held up well
•
SOEs continued to focus on E&P, resources (raw materials) and industrial sectors, whilst POE activity was more diversified covering also industrial technologies, consumer related businesses and high-tech
•
Destination markets were remarkably similar to 2012 with much of the POE money targeting established technologies, know-how, IP and brands in mature markets such as the US and Europe
PwC
5
Key messages (2 of 2) Domestic and Foreign-Inbound Strategic •
Domestic strategic M&A recovered strongly in the second half of 2013, although full year numbers were less spectacular due to the slow first half which was affected by political and economic uncertainties
•
Foreign inbound M&A was flat; Japanese investment has declined sharply over the last two years as has investment from the US
Private Equity •
Renminbi PE fundraising declined for the second straight year as the domestic Chinese PE industry continued to consolidate; US$ denominated fundraising has been consistently healthy over the same period
•
The number of new investments recovered in the second half of the year and, on a full year basis, deal values held up well
•
Growth capital deals declined as the PE industry shifted focus towards PIPE and, increasingly, buy-out transactions whilst PE interest in outbound deals continued, albeit still at low levels in absolute
•
PE-backed IPOs showed some recovery in the second half of 2013 off a very low base but it was the third straight year of decline for PE exits, almost entirely attributable to problems in the equity capital markets; 2013 was the first year that IPO was not the dominant exit-route
•
The overhang of new investments compared to exits remains the number one issue affecting the PE and VC industry
PwC
6
Outlook •
We anticipate strong growth in China outbound, both from SOEs and POEs; 2014 will be a record year driven by increasing experience and sophistication of Chinese buyers, underpinned by government and direction (including SOE reform – see below)
•
Domestic M&A will also grow to new highs, driven by industry consolidation and sector reforms which will increase competitive pressures; A-share listed companies will be important drivers of this activity
•
Foreign inbound investment will also grow as confidence returns in overseas markets especially in Europe and the US, and as MNC’s realign their China strategies resulting in both sale and purchase of business units and an increasing number of JVs with Chinese partners
•
PE exits will rebound strongly as IPO markets re-open, but sale by M&A will also grow and we expect to see more secondary (PE to PE) activity; we also think that the number of new investments will increase with the trend to buy-outs continuing; although smaller in number, we will see more outbound PE deals and we expect to see some PE interest in investing in SOEs (see below) and in A-share listed companies
•
SOE reform, including market liberalisation, specialisation, globalisation and diversified shareholding will drive M&A activity across several of the sectors described above
•
In summary, we see strong tail-winds for M&A in China: the record trends seen in the second half of 2013 will continue into 2014
•
Drivers of this activity will include: further liberalisation of markets; SOE reforms; government for M&A generally – especially outbound; increasing direct investment activities of large financial institutions; market-driven industry consolidation; increasing sophistication of Chinese buyers; and recovering equity capital markets

Key messages and 2014 outlook
PwC
34
Key messages (1 of 2) Overall •
China deal numbers recovered from multi-year lows in the first half of 2013, increasing by more than 40% in the second half; nearly all categories of M&A showed strong growth
•
On an annualised basis – despite the quiet first half – overall deal volumes grew by 8% and values by 28% in 2013 compared to 2012; deal values reached a record high at US$260 billion with 43 deals greater than US$1 billion in 2013, compared to 30 in 2012
China Outbound •
China outbound M&A recovered with more deals announced in the second half of 2013 than in any earlier half-year period; and on a full-year basis, outbound M&A compared well with the last few years, although the soft first half meant no new records in 2013
•
POE activity was surprisingly low in the first half but rebounded to a new six-month high with 88 announced deals in the second half, whilst SOE activity was robust and deal values held up well
•
SOEs continued to focus on E&P, resources (raw materials) and industrial sectors, whilst POE activity was more diversified covering also industrial technologies, consumer related businesses and high-tech
•
Destination markets were remarkably similar to 2012 with much of the POE money targeting established technologies, know-how, IP and brands in mature markets such as the US and Europe

Key messages (2 of 2) Domestic and Foreign-Inbound Strategic •
Domestic strategic M&A recovered strongly in the second half of 2013, although full year numbers were less spectacular due to the slow first half which was affected by political and economic uncertainties
•
Foreign inbound M&A was flat; Japanese investment has declined sharply over the last two years as has investment from the US
Private Equity •
Renminbi PE fundraising declined for the second straight year as the domestic Chinese PE industry continued to consolidate; US$ denominated fundraising has been consistently healthy over the same period
•
The number of new investments recovered in the second half of the year and, on a full year basis, deal values held up well
•
Growth capital deals declined as the PE industry shifted focus towards PIPE and, increasingly, buy-out transactions whilst PE interest in outbound deals continued, albeit still at low levels in absolute
•
PE-backed IPOs showed some recovery in the second half of 2013 off a very low base but it was the third straight year of decline for PE exits, almost entirely attributable to problems in the equity capital markets; 2013 was the first year that IPO was not the dominant exit-route
•
The overhang of new investments compared to exits remains the number one issue affecting the PE and VC industry
PwC
36
Outlook •
We anticipate strong growth in China outbound, both from SOEs and POEs; 2014 will be a record year driven by increasing experience and sophistication of Chinese buyers, underpinned by government and direction (including SOE reform – see below)
•
Domestic M&A will also grow to new highs, driven by industry consolidation and sector reforms which will increase competitive pressures; A-share listed companies will be important drivers of this activity
•
Foreign inbound investment will also grow as confidence returns in overseas markets especially in Europe and the US, and as MNC’s realign their China strategies resulting in both sale and purchase of business units and an increasing number of JVs with Chinese partners
•
PE exits will rebound strongly as IPO markets re-open, but sale by M&A will also grow and we expect to see more secondary (PE to PE) activity; we also think that the number of new investments will increase with the trend to buy-outs continuing; although smaller in number, we will see more outbound PE deals and we expect to see some PE interest in investing in SOEs (see below) and in A-share listed companies
•
SOE reform, including market liberalisation, specialisation, globalisation and diversified shareholding will drive M&A activity across several of the sectors described above
•
In summary, we see strong tail-winds for M&A in China: the record trends seen in the second half of 2013 will continue into 2014
•
Drivers of this activity will include: further liberalisation of markets; SOE reforms; government for M&A generally – especially outbound; increasing direct investment activities of large financial institutions; market-driven industry consolidation; increasing sophistication of Chinese buyers; and recovering equity capital markets
