June 2020 | ISSUE 99 Industry Activity M&A AT A GLANCE PAUL, WEISS, RIFKIND, WHARTON & GARRISON LLP 1 Strategic vs. Sponsor Activity Crossborder Activity Key Takeaways SPAC Acquisitions most deals last 12 months most dollar value last 12 months U.S. Inbound $47.9 billion ▲43.4% 68 deals ▼21.8% leading country Canada – $16.8 billion U.K. – 12 deals leading country last 12 months Canada – $108.5 billion Canada – 288 deals U.S. Outbound $45.2 billion ▲31.2% 84 deals ▲3.7% leading country Saudi Arabia – $15.5 billion U.K. – 17 deals leading country last 12 months U.K. – $105.6 billion U.K. – 309 deals U.S. Total $190.2 billion – ▼8.2% 397 deals – ▼32.0% Strategic $134.1 billion – ▲45.2% 219 deals – ▼41.3% Sponsor $56.0 billion – ▼51.2% 178 deals – ▼15.6% Global Total $460.7 billion – ▼4.8% 1,767 deals – ▼15.3% Strategic $307.5 billion – ▲20.0% 1,394 deals – ▼16.3% Sponsor $153.2 billion – ▼32.7% 373 deals – ▼11.6% ► Despite being a record-breaking year overall, 2021 ended on a bit of a down note. Both U.S. and global sponsor-related M&A deal value dropped significantly in December, with total deal value down 51% in the U.S. and 33% globally compared to November. Offsetting those losses, strategic M&A deal value surged 45% in the U.S. and 20% globally, resulting in only slight declines in overall deal value of 8% in the U.S. and 5% globally. Continuing the trend over the last three months, deal count was down across all sectors. ► U.S. crossborder deal value was up in December, increasing 43% for inbound flow and 31% for outbound flow. Saudi Arabia took the top spot by U.S. outbound deal value, with BlackRock’s $15.5 billion investment in Aramco Gas Pipelines Co. accounting for the entirety of that activity. ► Computers & Electronics continued its reign as the most active industry by both deal value and number of deals over the past month and the last twelve months (LTM). Professional Services took second place by deal count and, sporting a 745% increase in deal value, third place by deal value. That massive increase in deal value was largely driven by Rentokil Initial plc’s acquisition of Terminix Global Holdings Inc. for $7.5 billion and Neogen Corporation’s $5.3 billion acquisition of 3M Company’s food safety business. ► U.S. SPAC acquisitions continued its three month upward trend in December, up 90% by deal value and 79% by number of deals. Global SPAC acquisitions grew at similar rates, increasing 101% by deal volume and 84% by number of deals. ► U.S. public merger highlights in December include the following: o Cash-Only deals accounted for 69% of all U.S. deals in December (as compared to 55% LTM), while stock-only deals accounted for only 8% of the same (as compared to 27% LTM). o There were no hostile/unsolicited offers in the month of December. o Tender offers accounted for only 8% of all deals in December, off of the 25% high in November and closer to the LTM average of 11%. o Unaffected premiums were up significantly in December (51%) as compared to the LTM average of 39%. o After go-shop provisions appeared at above-average rates in October and November, December saw a glut. No deals included a go-shop provision in December. All data is for December 2021. Cortex data is as of January 10, 2022 and data from Deal Point data is as of January 12, 2022 unless otherwise specified. Each metric in this publication that references deal volume by dollar value is calculated from the subset of the total number of deals that includes a disclosed deal value.

Glance Endnotes PAUL, WEISS, RIFKIND, WHARTON & GARRISON LLP The charts on p. 1–2 and 5–10 were compiled using Cortex, and are for the broader M&A market, including public and private transactions of any value. Deal volume by dollar value and average value of deals are calculated from the subset of deals that include a disclosed deal value. The charts on p. 3–4 were compiled using Deal Point Data, and include acquisitions seeking majority or higher control of U.S. targets valued at $100 million or higher announced during the period indicated and for which a definitive merger agreement was reached and filed (except with respect to data regarding premiums and hostile/unsolicited offers, which is for all announced deals). "Last 12 Months" data is for the period from January 2021 to December 2021 inclusive. Data obtained from Cortex and Deal Point Data has not been reviewed for accuracy by Paul, Weiss. 1. Industries categories are determined and named by Cortex. 2. Based on the highest target break fees and reverse break fees payable in a particular deal. 3. There were 13 transactions in December 2021. 4. Financial and strategic categories are determined by Deal Point Data. 5. Eight transactions in December 2021 had a reverse break fee. 6. Three transactions in December 2021 involving a financial buyer had a reverse break fee. 7. Five transactions in December 2021 involving a strategic buyer had a reverse break fee. 8. Four transactions in December 2021 involved a financial buyer. 9. Nine transactions in December 2021 involved a strategic buyer. 10. Zero transactions in December 2021 had a go-shop provision. 11. Zero transactions in December 2021 involving a financial buyer had a go-shop provision. 12. Zero transactions in December 2021 involving a strategic buyer had a go-shop provision. 13. Due to rounding, percentages may not add up to 100%. 14. This data includes both announced transactions for which a definitive merger agreement was reached and filed and those for which a definitive merger agreement was never reached and filed (including withdrawn transactions). 15. Unaffected Premium % indicates the difference between the current price per share offered as consideration in the transaction and the “unaffected price”, reflected as a percentage. The “unaffected price" is the target's closing stock price on the date that is one calendar day prior to the first public disclosure regarding a potential deal involving the target and on which the target's stock price was unaffected by the news of the deal. 16. Each of China and Spain was the country of destination for six transactions in December 2021. 17. This data reflects U.S. targets that have been acquired by a SPAC of any nationality. 18. This data reflects both U.S. and non-U.S. targets that have been acquired by a SPAC of any nationality. 10 JANUARY 2022 | ISSUE 118 $77.32 $120.71 $160.11 $136.59 $112.72 $100.22 $136.10 $194.42 $142.18 $89.81 $128.10 $174.32 667 634 760 592 668 657 666 637 675 576 462 410 0 250 500 750 1,000 $0 $75 $150 $225 $300 Jan 2021 Feb 2021 Mar 2021 Apr 2021 May 2021 Jun 2021 Jul 2021 Aug 2021 Sep 2021 Oct 2021 Nov 2021 Dec 2021 Global Crossborder Transactions By Deal Value (US$B) By Number of Deals June 2020 | ISSUE 99 M&A at a Glance Our Mergers & Acquisitions Practice PAUL, WEISS, RIFKIND, WHARTON & GARRISON LLP Paul, Weiss is a leading law firm serving the largest publicly and privately held corporations and financial institutions in the United States and throughout the world.
