    M+A 2017 Annual Review 2017 3 5 IN REVIEW Axalta Daiwa 7 9 11 GLP McAfee Mobileye 13 15 17 Rao’s SoftBank Starwood Energy 19 21 23 Syneron Toshiba Representative Deals WELCOME TO OUR 2017 M+A ANNUAL REVIEW To our clients and friends: The uncertain geopolitical, regulatory and economic climate of 2017 made for an unpredictable global M&A market. But the structural demand for consolidation in several key industries and for growth across the board, coupled with a buoyant stock market, strong corporate earnings and other macroeconomic tailwinds in most of the key financial markets, resulted in strong deal flow in the U.S. and around the globe. As we open the new year with momentum, we are optimistic about 2018. Technology M&A continues to be a mainstay of our global M&A practice. The trend toward global consolidation through cross-border M&A plays to our strengths, and leading companies and private equity funds from around the world continue to look to Morrison & Foerster to advise them on their most significant and complex transactions. Our market position is particularly strong in semiconductors, where we handled both Toshiba’s $18 billion sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary Toshiba Memory Corporation to a consortium led by Bain Capital, which is the largest private equity deal ever in Asia, and Mobileye’s $15.3 billion acquisition by Intel, which is the largest ever tech M&A transaction involving an Israeli company. The firm’s longtime client SoftBank also had a very active year, keeping us busy across our global M&A network with multiple, billion dollar acquisitions and investments in a range of emerging technologies.
