Foreword – explanation of data shown in this presentation (2 of 2)
• “VC deals” refer to financial buyer deals with deal value less than US$10mn and/or with undisclosed deal value but invested by VCs
• “Strategic buyer” refers to corporate buyers (as opposed to financial buyers) that acquire companies with the objective of integrating the acquisition in their existing business
• “Financial buyer” refers to investors that acquire companies with the objective of realizing a return on their investment by selling the business at a profit at a future date and mainly, but not entirely, comprise PE and VC funds
• In order to exclude foreign exchange impact, deal values from previous years were adjusted based on 1H2014 average Rmb/US$ exchange rate

Key messages
PwC
Key messages – China M&A in first half of 2014 (1 of 3)
Overall • China M&A value soared to US$183
billion in the first half of 2014.
• The number of deals remained broadly flat overall compared to the second half of 2013
• But deal sizes were bigger with 30 deals larger than US$1 billion
Domestic and Foreign-Inbound Strategic • The value of strategic M&A in H114
remained close to the record highs seen in the second half of 2013 with a total of 15 deals greater than US$1bn in size
• Investment in real estate continued to grow as Chinese property developers sought access to capital markets through back-door listings; there were also a number of sizeable technology (including internet – led by “BAT”) and FS deals
• The value of foreign inbound M&A reached a record high in recent years as multinationals looked to refine their China strategies and increase their local China presence

PwC
Key messages – China M&A in first half of 2014 (2 of 3)
Private Equity • New fundraising by PE investors continued at healthy levels, though Renminbi
denominated fundraising has declined
• PEs are becoming more successful in finding larger deals; the value of new investments hit a record high in H114 with 9 deals bigger than US$500 million – also a record
• As anticipated, technology and consumer focussed businesses have been important for PE, but – as for strategic investors – we have also seen an increase in deals related to real estate including commercial and logistics-related property
• In terms of exits, as expected there has been a rebound in PE-backed IPOs, but the level of trade sales and secondary exits is somewhat lower than we had anticipated
• Hong Kong and New York bourses have shown healthy growth with some IPOs switched offshore in response to difficulties in the A-share markets
• But the cumulative overhang of new investments compared to exits remains the number one challenge for the PE industry

PwC
Key messages – China M&A in first half of 2014 (3 of 3)
China Outbound • China outbound M&A continued to track close to the somewhat elevated levels seen
in the second half of 2013, but without touching new highs overall; there were 11 deals greater than US$1 billion, but no mega-deals in the period
• POEs continue to be an important source of outbound activity - deal values for POE outbound M&A increased to levels bettered only once previously: SOE outbound growth was slower, perhaps due to more domestic focus on SOE-reforms
• Telecommunications, technology and real estate were important sectors for POEs going overseas; POEs are seeking new markets for growth, technologies to bring back to China and diversified investment opportunities
• Developed markets in the US and Europe continue to attract investment from Chinese buyers; in particular they meet many of the investment criteria of POEs

Outlook
PwC
Outlook – the next six to twelve months (1 of 4)
Overall • The healthy trends in China M&A will
continue into the second half of 2014
• Drivers for M&A activity include:
─ Growth in domestic M&A with SOE reform a key source of larger transactions
─ POE-led outbound M&A; and
─ An active PE market, including exit-related activity
Key industry sectors • Techonology, especially internet
─ BAT-led, both domestically and outbound;
─ Looking to expand ecosystems, acquire user traffic, acquire new business models, and improve user experience;
─ Increasingly centred around mobile, location-based services and social network-services; and
─ Hardware deals are largely outbound as Chinese companies move up the value chain
29
PwC
Outlook – the next six to twelve months (2 of 4)
Key industry sectors (continued) • Financial services:
─ Inbound interest in P&C insurance and money lenders (leasing, micro-finance, guarantee companies)
─ Outbound activity around banks, insurance, asset management and leasing targets for brand differentiation and product enhancement
─ Many Chinese institutions are refining their overseas expansion strategy and are increasingly setting up platforms in Hong Kong to do this
• Real estate:
─ Developers seeking access to capital markets through back door listings;
─ Interest in commercial and logistics-related property, less so residential;
─ Some distressed transactions; and
─ Outbound
30
PwC
Outlook – the next six to twelve months (3 of 4)
Domestic and Foreign-Inbound Strategic • Domestic M&A will show steady single
digit growth driven by:
─ Continuing consolidation in many industries to remove excess capacity;
─ SOE reforms – which will lead to some large transactions;
─ A-share listed companies looking for inorganic growth; and
─ Back-door listings in response to difficulties in achieving new IPOs
• Technology (especially internet), FS and Real Estate are hot sectors
China Outbound • POEs will continue to lead growth in
China outbound chasing:
─ New markets for growth;
─ Technologies, brands and know how to bring back to China market; and
─ Diversified investments
• SOE outbound may slow a little, as many SOEs focus on domestic reform
• SOEs in particular are increasingly building presence in Hong Kong as a platform for future outbound activity
31
PwC
Outlook – the next six to twelve months (4 of 4)
Private equity • PE activity will remain robust in the second half
• Trends in the market over the next six to twelve months will include:
─ More larger sized deals and buyouts;
─ PE involvement in outbound transactions;
─ PE participation in SOE reforms as a source of diversified capital;
─ Deals involving A-share listed companies, both as targets and as buyers of PE held assets; and
─ More exit activity from IPOs, strategic trade sales and – eventually – secondary PE sales

Statistics contained in this presentation and the press release may vary from those contained in previous press releases. There are three reasons for this: ThomsonReuters and ChinaVenture historical data is constantly updated as deals are confirmed or disclosed; PricewaterhouseCoopers has excluded certain transactions which are more in the nature of internal reorganisations than transfers of control; and exchange rate data has been adjusted.
