    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

  • People Purpose Performance
    ANNUAL REPORT 2013 People Purpose Performance Toronto London Hong Kong Corporate Profile Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) is a professional investment management organization with a critical purpose – to help provide a foundation on which Canadians build financial security in retirement. We invest the assets of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) not currently needed to pay pension, disability and survivor benefits. — CPPIB is headquartered in Toronto with offices in London and Hong Kong. We invest in public equities, private equities, bonds, private debt, real estate, infrastructure and other areas. Assets currently total $183.3 billion. Of this total, 36.7% or $67.4 billion is invested in Canada and the rest globally at 63.3% or $116.1 billion of the portfolio. Our investments have become increasingly international as we diversify risk and seek growth opportunities in growing global markets. Created by an Act of Parliament in 1997, CPPIB is accountable to Parliament and to the federal and provincial finance ministers who serve as the CPP’s stewards. However, we are governed and managed independently from the CPP, operating at arm’s length from governments with a singular objective: to maximize returns without undue risk of loss. The funds that we invest belong to the 18 million Canadians who are current and future CPP beneficiaries. We adhere to high standards of transparency and accountability. The CPP Fund ranks among the world’s 10 largest retirement funds. In managing the Fund, CPPIB pursues a diverse set of investment programs that contribute to the long-term sustainability of the CPP. The most recent triennial report by the Chief Actuary of Canada indicated that the CPP is sustainable over a 75-year projection period, and that contributions to the Fund will exceed benefits paid until 2021.

    Global private assets strategy Investment update to 31 March 20191 MLC gives investors access to private assets (also known as private equity) all around the world. Private assets are investments that aren’t traded on listed exchanges and involve buying shares in private companies. The strategy is managed by MLC’s Private Equity team, which uses a combined multi-manager and co-investment approach to investing. 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.
