2 1 Our point of view Our offering Why EY Key contacts

3 1Our point of view Too many companies across the world find themselves tinkering with change by focusing on organic growth and operational improvements. However, organic growth and cost cutting has its limitations. Companies should invest more effort in structural actions like acquisitions or divestments if they desire to achieve breakthrough growth. Companies in Asia are focusing on building scale in its core market through acquisitions and shedding non-core part to fund the ambition. But are we prepared? Scale Growth Top 2 players have two-third of the profit pool Market expansion or entry M&A rebounds strongly to drive corporate growth in Southeast Asia. Deal rationale Synergies Value through M&A EY Capital Confidence Barometer Survey 2014 Capability Gaining access to new technologies, skills, patents and people Think Big and Act Bold. Defence Strategic stakes to offset threat, future bargaining power Vikram Chakravarty The Business Times 17 March % of all merger failures can be attributed to failure in integration Reasons for loss of deal value 20% 14% 66% Failure in strategy Failure in M&A deal Failure in integration Lack of deal strategy or low strategic fit Synergies not achieved Lack of integration plan or philosophy Failure to de-risk the asset Lack of communication Organization misalignment Value is lost from failure of execution, not strategy. Firms need to de-risk the investment, capture value through synergies and control the process through strong governance and control.

4 2EY offering a. Integration vision: Strategy and control Integration philosophy and guiding principles Due to the complexity associated with Asian mergers, it is imperative to define the integration vision and strategy early in the deal process. Define integration guiding principles and nonnegotiables before the launch of the integration process. Complete autonomy E.g., Replace the CFO, COO Replace target management Run as a standalone entity E.g., Full integration of back-office Fully integrate Soft approach on people side No change in business model E.g., Reduce headcount E.g., New supply chain model Large synergies planned through lay-offs Optimize business model of the target Typical Asian non-negotiables 1 Control over people, brands, IP etc. Establish control 2 over cash and treasury operations to de-risk the investment Establish governance, 3 compliance and controls to comply with company policies e.g., FCPA 4 Establish financial and executive reporting requirements 5 Early announcement to key stakeholders Adapt a softer 6 approach in integration. E.g., no headcount reduction The lack of clear integration philosophy and plan leads to destruction of value. Vikram Chakravarty EY Merger Integration Lead, Asia-Pacific Planning for integration should begin once you identify the target and continue throughout the deal process.

5 b. Generate value: Synergies Shareholders have rewarded successful acquirers in the past for realizing synergies from the deal. Acquirers should identify synergies and value drivers well in advance and validate it during the due diligence process. Considering the complex business landscape in Asia, identified synergies should be tied to executable plans and should be tracked and reported on a regular basis. Average announced cost synergies as a percentage of target s revenue 9% 8% 18% 15% 6% 6% 5% 6% 6% 4% 15% 14% The average per industry realized cost synergies range from 4% - 18% of target s revenue CPG Pharmaceuticals Oil and Gas Chemical Utilities Brokerage Achieved cost synergies as % of target s revenue Announced cost synergies as % of target s revenue Sources: Capital IQ, ThomsonONE, company filings, press releases and investor presentations, EY analysis Typical Asian synergy opportunities Longer term Medium term Quick wins Back office Procurement and suppliers Manufacturing and supply chain Sales and marketing Customers Revenue S9 Cross-sell additional volumes S11 New customers Cost S1 Centralization of back-office (HR, IT, finance, procurement) S2 S3 S4.1 Procurement leverage Capacity optimization Quality improvements S7 S4.2 S8 Supply chain optimization - reduce logistics costs through a more efficient utilization of the combined network (transportation contracts, supply chain, warehouse space) Quality improvements Working capital optimization S10 Consolidate sales office locations and facilities S12 Cost to serve for customer portfolio Assets S5.1 Restructuring - review target locations and assets S5.2 Restructuring - review manufacturing assets and facilities S5.3 Restructuring - target sales office assets CAPEX S6.1 CAPEX review S6.2 CAPEX review S6.3 CAPEX review Back office Procurement and suppliers Manufacturing and supply chain Sales and marketing Customers At EY we have detailed understanding of where the synergy can be found by deal and industry type.

6 c. Fitting it together: De-risking There is a need to de-risk the merger event due to many instances of value leakage in Asia. Detailed functional integration planning and proactive risk mitigation ensures taking control of the target and business continuity post-close.
