Cochran & Robert Banerjea, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP 251 PREFACE e are pleased to present the sixth edition of Global Legal Insights – Mergers & Acquisitions. The book contains W29 country chapters, and is designed to provide general counsel, investment bankers, government agencies and private practice lawyers with a comprehensive insight into the practicalities of M&A by jurisdiction, highlighting market trends and legal developments as well as practical and strategic considerations. In producing Global Legal Insights – Mergers & Acquisitions, the publishers have collected the views and opinions of a group of leading practitioners from around the world in a unique volume. The authors were asked to offer personal views on the most important recent developments in their own jurisdictions, with a free rein to decide the focus of their own chapter. A key benefi t of comparative analyses is the possibility that developments in one jurisdiction may inform understanding in another. We hope that this book will prove insightful and stimulating reading. Michael E. Hatchard & Scott V. Simpson Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom (UK) LLP Austria Michael Kutschera, Florian Khol & Philipp Kapl BINDER GRÖSSWANG Rechtsanwälte GmbH Overview1 In 2016, Austrian M&A activity saw a slight increase in terms of the number of transactions announced, comprising a total of 354 M&A transactions with Austrian participation, as compared to 344 M&A transactions in 2015. Despite the overall impression of increasing appetite among private equity and venture capital investors, driven by notable private equity transactions (such as the acquisitions of Frauscher Sensortechnik by Greenbriar, Tricentis by Insight Venture Partners and Automic by CA Technologies), the share of fi nancial investor- driven transactions decreased from 9.9% in 2015 (similar to 10.4% in 2014) to only 5.6% in 2016, causing the lion’s share of strategic investors-transactions to expand even further. Transaction volume, on the other hand, more than doubled from €4.7bn in 2015 to €10.7bn in 2016, also exceeding 2014 levels (€10.2bn). With the domestic transaction volume remaining steady over the past years (€900m in 2016 vs. €1bn both in 2015 and 2014) but a surge in cross-border M&A activity, Austria continues to remain an attractive market for foreign investors. Both inbound M&A transactions (i.e. acquisitions of Austrian targets by foreign investors) and outbound M&A transactions (i.e. acquisitions of foreign targets by Austrian investors) rocketed from signifi cantly lower levels in 2015 to €6.7bn and €3.1bn, respectively (as compared to €2.6bn and €1.1bn in the previous year). In line with the higher overall transaction volume of inbound M&A transactions and similar to previous years, the average deal volume of inbound M&A of €51.7m also exceeds the average transaction volume of outbound M&A (€24.2m) clearly. In terms of the quantity of transactions, the number of domestic M&A transactions increased by 4.3% and outbound M&A transactions by 11.2% as compared to the previous year; inbound M&A transactions decreased by 5.1%. The most active sector in 2016 for inbound M&A was Austria’s real estate & construction sector, leading both in terms of the number of transactions (36) and the total transaction volume (€4.3bn), followed by telecommunication, media & technology (31 transactions with a total transaction volume of €900m). As to outbound M&A, Austrian investors focused on industrials (39 transactions with a total transaction volume of €1.4bn) and telecommunication, media & technology (22 transactions with a total transaction volume of €900m) in 2016. Consistent with the past, Germany plays a key role for Austrian inbound M&A activity, being involved in 29.5% of the respective transactions, followed at some distance by Switzerland (10.1%) and USA (8.5%). Likewise, Germany remains the top destination for Austrian investors with 34.1% of the targets of Austrian investors located in their northern neighbour state, followed by 6.2% in USA and 4.7% in Italy. In 2016, 62.8% of foreign GLI - Mergers & Acquisitions 2017, Sixth Edition 1 www.globallegalinsights.com © Published and reproduced with kind permission by Global Legal Group Ltd, London BINDER GRÖSSWANG Rechtsanwälte GmbH Austria investors in Austrian targets, and 44.2% of the targets of Austrian investors, had their seat in Europe. Signifi cant deals and highlights Gas Connect Austria (Allianz Capital Partners, Snam / OMV) Germany-based private equity fi rm Allianz Capital Partners (a subsidiary of the listed insurance, banking and asset management conglomerate Allianz) and Italy-based listed natural gas supplier Snam jointly acquired a 49% stake in the Austrian gas distribution network operator Gas Connect Austria from listed OMV for a total cash consideration of €601m through an investment vehicle owned 60%-40% by Allianz Capital Partners and Snam, respectively. For further background details, please refer to the section, “Industry sector focus – Oil & gas”. Conwert Immobilien Invest (Vonovia) Following a failed bid for Deutsche Wohnen, Vonovia made a voluntary tender offer for Conwert Immobilien Invest, an Austria-based and listed real estate fi rm, featuring a transaction value of €2.86bn. The offer targeted all outstanding shares of Conwert Immobilien with consideration offered in shares and alternatively in cash. Operational and fi nancial synergies are expected as a result of the transaction. Heptagon Micro Optics (ams / Temasek Holdings, GGV Capital, Vertex Ventures Israel) Heptagon Micro Optics, a Singapore-based company providing complete 3D/imaging, illumination and optical sensing solutions for smart devices and internet of things was acquired by ams, a listed Austrian company, for a total consideration of €786m from GGV Capital, Temasek Holdings and certain other investors. The acquisition is expected

  • Private Equity in Sweden
    PRIVATE EQUITY IN SWEDEN An analysis of the private equity industry in Sweden and two case studies on individual companies’ competitive strategy JOHAN MATTISSON MASTER THESIS LUND UNIVERSITY, 2017 Abstract Private equity is a growing global phenomena and private equity companies have become a major force in many of Sweden’s industries. These companies own portfolio companies which together employs around 190 000 people and have an annual revenue of over 318 billion SEK. The purpose of this thesis was to describe and analyze the Swedish private equity industry and individual companies’ competitive strategy to increase value of portfolio companies and to attract capital. The methodical approach of this thesis was qualitative and abductive. Only public data was used bar the two interviews that was conducted with the case companies. The theoretical framework for the industry analysis was Porters five forces. The case companies were analyzed on the corporate, business and operational levels of strategy. A resource based view was used to further analyze the case companies’ strategic capabilities. The main findings from the industry analysis was that the vast majority of investors in Swedish private equity funds are made by professional institutions and a large amount of the investments were of international origin. The large pool of investors makes it easier for Swedish private equity companies to attract capital. The number of new private equity funds have been declining since 2007 but at the same time the average fund size has grown. There are many differentiating factors between private equity companies. This differentiation is beneficial for the private equity companies as they become less commoditized from the viewpoint of an investor.
