TMT M&A DATABOOK
There had been more than US$240bn of tech and telecom
deals as the third quarter neared its end, led by Verizon
Communications US$130bn buyout of Vodafone Groups
stake in their wireless venture. That puts the three-month
period on pace to be the busiest since 2000, when AOL
and Time Warner announced their merger, then valued at
as much as US$186bn.
Tech and telecom deals have already helped push total
mergers and acquisitions volume in the quarter past the
previous one, with more than US$520bn in transactions
worldwide. The activity underscores how more companies
are nally making strategic moves to counter technological
disruption, said Jennifer Nason, managing director, global
head of technology, media & telecom (TMT), Investment
Banking at JPMorgan.
The fast pace of innovation, increasing competitive
dynamics and the potential for increasing capital costs
have created the perfect storm for strategic moves which
had been contemplated for a while, said Nason, who
advised Verizon on the wireless venture buyout and worked
on Nokias proposed sale of its mobile-phone business to
Microsoft.
Vodafones sale of the stake in Verizon Wireless gives it a
war-chest to make its own acquisitions while
simultaneously making the UK wireless operator a
potential target. The transaction also puts pressure on
competitors such as AT&T Inc. to accelerate strategic
changes. Randall Stephenson, chief executive of
AT&T, second in US mobile-phone customers to Verizon
Wireless, has said that Europe may offer attractive
options for expansion and that his company would buy
wireless assets in Europe if they were available at the right
price.
Verizon and Vodafone had discussed a buyout of the
wireless stake on and off for a decade. For the US
company, the case for full ownership became more
compelling with growth in mobile-data use by high-
spending customers, allowing it to increase its offer to a
level acceptable to Vodafone.
The expectation that interest rates will rise has also
spurred some companies to act. Verizon took advantage of
the favourable interest rate environment to borrow about
US$60bn to fund the wireless venture buyout.
Among handset makers, BlackBerry said last month it
was weighing a sale and has entered into a letter of intent
agreement to sell to a consortium led by investor Fairfax
Financial. The US$4.7bn deal to take BlackBerry private
has set a benchmark - or a oor - for any competing offers
for the beleaguered smartphone manufacturer over the
next six weeks.
Various potential trade and nancial buyers - including
Microsoft, China's Lenovo Group, Amazon, and TPG
Capital - have been mentioned as possibilities over the
course of the past month, however, industry analysts are
sceptical that any rival bids will emerge.
BlackBerry has until November 4 to seek superior offers,
which the Fairfax consortium has the right to match. The
group is looking to arrange nance for the acquisition with
Bank of America Merrill Lynch and BMO Capital Markets
and must complete its due diligence by the same date.
Meanwhile BlackBerry, which has lost out massively to
Apple and Samsung in the consumer market for
TMT M&A busiest since 2000

Director, Head of TMT Investment
Banking, EMEA, UBS Investment
Bank
The European telecom sector has
been and remains under pressure
through a combination of macro,
regulatory, competitive and
technological factors. Operators have
spent years rightly streamlining their
operations and their portfolios. But
with the continued deationary top-
line environment, operators are
increasingly looking to M&A as part
of the solution. Firstly, to in-market
consolidation to drive cash ow
growth through synergies. Secondly,
to convergence deals to secure
multi-play capabilities as we
transition to unied communications.
And, thirdly, to disposals to reduce
leverage and continue to further
focus strategy and management.
Deals UBS has led this year such as
Vodafone/VZW, Vodafone KDG and
Telefonica Deutschland epitomise
some of these themes.
Importantly, public market
investors have been generally
supportive of M&A in the sector
recognising that consolidation is now
necessary. The highly attractive
nancing market conditions have
enabled companies to pursue
needed inorganic moves; it is great to
see that all management teams have
remained disciplined and on point
with regards to their strategies
reecting the maturity of the sector.
Regulators will have to decide
whether to ease up on European
operators and facilitate this
consolidation as well the
investments it enables in the
service quality and breadth we all
need, or whether to continue to
focus more on pricing. I hope they
will as Europe is falling behind in
both mobile and xed broadband,
which was not the case 10 years ago,
is frustrating as a consumer, and
sub-optimal for our economies.
It interesting to note that 10 years
ago, Europe accounted for 5 of the
top 10 operators, today that number
is 2.

smartphones, said at the end of last week that from now
on it was going to focus on what it terms enterprise
customers - businesses, governments, legal rms and
security forces.
Lenovo Group, the worlds largest maker of personal
computers, said this month that it is looking for
acquisitions in PCs and smartphones.
Innovations from smartphones to social media
are creating new opportunities for some companies
and ruining the business models of others, driving
dealmaking in both cases. Verizons deal with
Vodafone crowns a summer that saw Publicis Groupe SA
and Omnicom Group Inc agree to combine to create a
US$35bn advertising powerhouse, as well as Microsofts
US$7.2bn bid for the Nokia mobile phone business and
patents.
Nokias future, meanwhile, has been a subject of
speculation almost from the moment Apple launched
the iPhone in 2007. Once the worlds leading mobile-
phone manufacturer, Nokia has fallen badly behind Apple
and Samsung, and the Windows Phone operating system
its devices run accounts for less than 5% of new
smartphones.
In North America, the bidding war for Sprint and
Clearwire raged throughout the rst half of the year, nally
concluding at the end of June when Dish abandoned its
US$25.5bn bid for Sprint and withdrew its US$6.6bn
tender offer for Clearwire. Sprint purchased the shares of
Clearwire it did not already own on July 10, and the
following day, Softbank bought 72% of Sprint for
US$21.6bn.
Still, much of the US wireless sector is in play, as
telecoms vie for scale and spectrum. AT&T, which was
barred from buying T-Mobile two years ago, is still working
on improving its spectrum holdings and bought Leap
Wireless for US$1.2bn at an 88% premium.
In the rst half of 2013, Dish proved how much it wants
an operating wireless business. Since Sprint and Clearwire
failed, a bid for T-Mobile is thought to be feasible, although
T-Mobile with greater repower might buy Dish. T-Mobile
is a tting target for the newly strengthened Sprint, once
its merger with Softbank has settled.
4G auctions in Latin America will continue to take place
in all the regions countries and generate money for the
national governments. The major players, such as the
Mexico-based America Movil, Spain-based Telefonica,
Italy-based TIM and the US-based NII Holdings will bid for
the remaining spectrum auctions to expand their networks
and footprint. Satellite TV players like Sky, a joint venture
of Brazil-based Organizacoes Globo and the El Segundo,
California-based DirecTV Group, will also bid for 4G
spectrum to improve its mobile services.
In Brazil 4G auctions will be launched by the year-end by
the local regulator Anatel and will offer the remaining 96
spectrum lots that had not been sold in the 2012 auction.
In Mexico, Eutelsat Communications purchased Satmex for
US$1.1bn on July 31.
In Europe, telecom companies such as Spains Telefonica
are looking to consolidate as growing data use demands
more expensive networks and regulators restrict fees for
services like roaming. Long-expected deals are nally
taking place, with Telefonica and KPN of the Netherlands
Luc Dezert, Managing Director,
Head for Telecom Europe at BNP
Paribas Corporate Finance
A tsunami of M&A transactions is to
be expected in the European
telecom sector over the next ve
years. After a period of low merger
activity since 2005, four key factors
support an acceleration of telecom
deals in Europe:
1. Convergence: pure play mobile
operators are squeezed in an
increasingly data centric and
convergent industry. Mobile
operators are relying on xed
network infrastructure to transfer a
surging data trafc and need to face
competition from quadruple-play
operators offering bundled packages
at discounted prices. In reaction,
mobile operators are looking at
cable or bre operators acquisition
opportunities
2. Cost savings: the overall telecom
market size is expected to continue to
decrease over the next years (2010-16
CAGR of -2.2%) whereas competition
is further intensifying and investment
needs are increasing (bre, LTE). In
reaction, operators look at in-country
consolidations in order to maximise
cost synergies
3. Financial exibility: European
operators are refocusing from a
global to a regional footprint
strategy. Divestments of non-core
assets result in a greater nancing
exibility and enable them to
reinvest in core markets and
compete more effectively
4. Low valuations in a fragmented
market: Non-European operators
take a mid-term view on the
forthcoming harmonisation of the
European regulatory environment
which is expected to facilitate cross-
border consolidations in a
fragmented market (more than 100
mobile operators), to result in
benets of scale and, ultimately, to
close the gap with superior telecom
valuation metrics in North America
and in Asia
Out of a number of telecom M&A
transactions announced in 2013, the
four major ones are an illustration
each of these factors: Vodafone
KDG in Germany (Convergence),
Telefonica Deutschland EPlus in
Germany (Cost savings), Vodafone
Verizon Wireless in the US (Strategic
refocus), America Movil KPN in the
Netherlands (Low valuations/
European consolidation).
In an industry exposed to
transforming evolutions
(technology, business model,
regulation), each European operator
has become an actor, prey or
predator, of the market
consolidation.
TMT M&A Databook 2013 4

merging their German businesses O2 Deutschland and E-
Plus, respectively, a transaction that has been anticipated
for the last decade. Telefonica, which has been seeking to
reduce its 48.6bn in debt, has also agreed to sell its Irish
business to Hutchison Whampoa of Hong Kong and to list
40% of its Central American business.
Vivendi of France is making headway in its efforts to sell
off telecom assets as a means to reduce debt and become
a media company, having selected the UAEs Etisalat as
the buyer for its 53% stake in Maroc Telecom, selling for
some 4.2bn. With Maroc Telecom nally nearing a
conclusion, Vivendi is set to focus on French cellular
company SFR.
M&A in the Indian telecom sector is subdued by high
spectrum and infrastructure costs. However, the Indian
government's latest move to hike foreign direct
investment's limit to 100% will allow existing foreign
players to buy out the entire stake in the Indian entity and
may encourage new players to completely own the Indian
arm.
Existing foreign players who own majority stakes or a
signicant minority stake might want to increase their
holdings. Vodafone may want to buy out some of its
partners in Vodafone India. Vodafone owns 74% with
Piramal Group chairman Ajay Piramal, Max Group
chairman Analjit Singh and IDFC as shareholders.
In April , South Korean telco giant KT dropped its bid to
buy a 53% stake in Maroc Telecom from Vivendi, after vying
with bidders such as Ooredoo and Etisalat. After dropping
its bid to buy a 53% stake in Maroc Telecom, South Korean
KT has now turned its attention to acquiring South African
Telcoms iWayAfrica unit, an Internet service provider fully-
owned by Telcom, although talks between iWayAfrica and
KT have stalled.
Another common theme among some telecom rms is
listing infrastructure assets in the form of trusts. Singapore
has been the stock exchange of choice for trust listings, but
recently, Malaysia and Thailand have also made it possible
to list business trusts. This has attracted a lot of interest
among telecoms looking to monetize their xed assets
such as their tower businesses. Thai telco True Corp is
planning a US$2.3bn listing of its towers and bre optics
businesses and in Malaysia, telcos Axiata and Digi.Com are
exploring trust listings. Singapores SingTel could also be
moving towards a business trust listing for its bre
broadband network assets.

The maturity of two key trends, at a
particular point in the economic
cycle, is driving the current wave of
M&A activity in the TMT sector.
Maturity of enterprise/cloud and
consumer/mobile trends
Both enterprise/cloud and
consumer/mobile technology
markets have matured, and neither
offers the organic growth prospects
it has done over the past ve to
seven years.
Meanwhile, established players
have large, defensible positions, and
barriers to entry are formidable.
Organic growth is therefore difcult,
and new markets largely blocked.
Defensive, opportunistic,
consolidation
In this context, defensive
consolidation (e.g., Microsoft/Nokia),
stepping out of the public eye to
respond to changes in the
marketplace (Dell) and consolidation
of ownership (Verizon/Vodafone)
have taken over as the key drivers of
large-scale M&A activity. BlackBerry,
a victim of changes in both the
enterprise and consumer markets, is
unlikely to remain independent for
long, and will be an opportunistic
bolt-on for an established player.
Whats next?
The next shift will be away from
defensive moves, towards M&A
as a driver of growth. We expect
this to become visible quite quickly,
and certainly over the next 12-
18months.
The deals themselves will be
smaller, but more numerous, as
activity picks up in the mid-market
the traditional engine of growth and
development.
The major corporate acquirers
in the mid-market have been
through a period of intensive
strategic review over the past couple
of years.
They now have greater strategic
clarity and an increased willingness
to consider growth by acquisition
be it of technology, talent, or market
entry. And they have the cash on the
balance sheet and the nancing
available to make these deals
happen.
This combination of growth
ambitions, strategic rationale,
and available capital will drive
increasing M&A activity in the TMT
sector and especially in the mid-
market.
