GLOBAL

A n n u A L r e v i e w

Welcome to morrison & Foerster’s 2012 m+A AnnuAl revieW.

Thanks to you, our clients and friends, this has been a banner year for M+A at MoFo—the best in firm history. Despite a generally sluggish M&A market, you turned to us for many of your biggest and most complex deals across a wide range of sectors: telecommunications, technology, life sciences, financial services, retail, real estate, healthcare, entertainment, gaming, energy, consumer products and more.

• 145 transactions in 2012 at a total disclosed value of more than $140 billion, including 27 at more than $1 billion each • Biggest deal in the U.S. in 2012 and the biggest outbound investment ever from Asia • Handled the largest deals in several key sectors: technology, telecom, healthcare, real estate • Named 2012 M&A Group of the Year by Law360 and ranked as an “Elite” firm in Corporate M&A Nationwide by Chambers USAHere is just a sampling of what you’ll find in this year’s review.

As you may have read, we are representing SoftBank in its ambitious and high-profile $20.1 billion acquisition of a 70% stake in Sprint Nextel—a deal with an enterprise value of some $43 billion. This transaction, which could be the ultimate game-changer in a rapidly evolving wireless market, is 2012’s largest announced deal in the U.S. and the biggest outbound investment ever from Asia. On top of that, we also are representing SoftBank in Sprint’s $2.2 billion acquisition of the 50% of Clearwire that it doesn’t already own—a key piece of SoftBank’s bold and disruptive U.S. telecom strategy.

In the largest U.S. healthcare services deal of 2012, we helped DaVita Inc. acquire HealthCare Partners Holdings in a $4.42 billion bid to stay on the cutting edge of a rapidly evolving field by providing consumers with broader, more integrated and more cost-effective services.

We were also pleased to play a key role in the largest U.S. real estate deal of 2012 with our representation of Equity Residential in a joint agreement with AvalonBay Communities to acquire a vast portfolio of apartment properties from the Lehman Brothers estate for $16 billion.

For retail giant Walmart, we represented its Global e-Commerce division in its increased investment in China’s Yihaodian. And in the financial sector we represented Raymond James in its $1.2 billion acquisition of Morgan Keegan from Regions Financial Corporation, creating the largest “off Wall Street” broker-dealer.

We also remained highly active in our traditional sweet spot, the tech sector, with a spate of transactions: the completion of the $4.8 billion sale of Hitachi’s hard disk drive business to Western Digital Corporation; Novellus’ $3.3 billion merger agreement that resulted in the sale of the company to Lam Research; our continuing work for Intel in its acquisitions in the semiconductor space; and our representation of GREE in the mobile/gaming space.

It was a year marked by tremendous economic uncertainty, which spawned challenging market conditions across the globe. That’s why it was so gratifying to be able to help many of our clients turn these challenges into opportunities, which in turn made 2012 our best year ever.

We hope you enjoy this year’s M+A Annual Review as much as we enjoyed working with you on the deals described here. We look forward to more of the same in 2013.
