    TAKEOVERS + SCHEMES REVIEW 2017 GTLAW.COM.AU 1 TAKEOVERS + SCHEMES REVIEW 2017 GILBERT + TOBIN PRESENTS THE 2017 TAKEOVERS AND SCHEMES REVIEW 2016 was a solid but unspectacular year for Australian public company mergers and acquisitions. Some key themes were: + Number and value of transactions down from 2015 but aggregate transaction values were still higher than 2014. + 2016 saw a record number of all-cash transactions. There was a shift away from creative consideration structures. In general, target boards and shareholders seemed to value certainty in uncertain political and economic times. + Schemes of arrangement were increasingly the transaction structure of choice. + Despite negativity in respect of the Government/FIRB’s approach to the Ausgrid and Kidman transactions, foreigners continued to bid for Australian companies and were generally successful. + ASIC and the ACCC were highly active in their transaction reviews. This Review examines 2016’s public company transactions valued over $50 million and provides our perspective on the trends for Australian M&A in 2016 and what that might mean for 2017. We trust you will find this Review to be an interesting read and a useful resource for 2017. 2 CONTENTS KEY HIGHLIGHTS 4 1 MARKET ACTIVITY 6 2 SECTOR ANALYSIS 9 3 TRANSACTION STRUCTURES 13 4 FOREIGN BIDDERS 15 5 CONSIDERATION STRUCTURES 19 6 SUCCESS FACTORS 22 7 TRANSACTION TIMING 27 8 IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENTS 29 AND BID CONDITIONS 9 THE REGULATORS 32 2016 PUBLIC M&A TRANSACTIONS 36 OUR APPROACH 38 ABOUT GILBERT + TOBIN 40 RECENT TRANSACTIONS
