  • Takeovers + Schemes Review
    TAKEOVERS + SCHEMES REVIEW 2018 GTLAW.COM.AU 1 THE GILBERT + TOBIN 2018 TAKEOVERS AND SCHEMES REVIEW 2017 demonstrated a distinct uptick in activity for Australian public company mergers and acquisitions. Some key themes were: + The number of transactions announced increased by 37% over 2016 and aggregate transaction values were among the highest in recent years. + The energy & resources sector staged a recovery in M&A activity, perhaps signalling an end to the downwards trend observed over the last six years. The real estate sector made the greatest contribution to overall transaction value, followed closely by utilities/infrastructure. + Despite perceived foreign investment headwinds, foreign interest in Australian assets remained strong, with Asian, North American and French acquirers featuring prominently. Four of the five largest transactions in 2017 (including two valued at over $5 billion) involved a foreign bidder. + There was a material decline in success rates, except for high value deals greater than $500 million. Cash transactions continued to be more successful than transactions offering scrip. Average premiums paid fell slightly. + Regulators continue to closely scrutinise public M&A transactions, with the attendant lengthening of deal timetables. This Review examines 2017’s public company transactions valued over $50 million and provides our perspective on the trends for Australian M&A in 2017 and what that might mean for 2018. We trust you will find this Review to be an interesting read and a useful resource for 2018. 2

This means they invest into a range of external private equity fund managers, as well as alongside these managers, investing directly into some of their most attractive private companies. MLC has managed the private assets strategy through different market conditions, since 1997. The following multi-asset portfolios invest in MLC’s global private assets strategy: • MLC Horizon portfolios (MLC MasterKey superannuation and pension products) • MLC Inflation Plus portfolios (MLC MasterKey superannuation and pension products), and • MySuper in MLC MasterKey Business Super.
