- Total deals value at lowest level since Q3 2009
- Deal values on Q4 2011 down nearly three-quarters in South Korea, two-thirds in
Hong Kong
- Amarchand & MangaIdas & Suresh A Shro & Co top IegaI adviser in Asia-Pacic, up 41
places on Q1 2011
Actlvlty by deal value ln Asla-Paclc excludlng 1apan ln Ql 20l2 was at lts lowest level slnce Q3 2009 (US$ 65.4bn). A total of 36l
deals worth US$ 66.9bn were announced ln the reglon, down 23.2% on Ql 20ll (US$ 87.lbn) and 5.6% on the prevlous quarter
(US$ 70.9bn ln Q4 20ll).
The Aslan M&A market contlnued lts downward trend ln the rst quarter, wlth total deal value down, compared to Q4 20ll, nearly
three-quarters ln South Korea, two-thlrds ln Hong Kong, and four-fths ln Australla. Chlna though was relatlvely steady, down [ust
a fractlon from US$ 22.5bn to US$ 2l.9bn. The growth exceptlon was |ndla, where Sesa Goa's announced acqulsltlon of Sterllte
|ndustrles (|ndla) for US$ l0.3bn, spurred total deal value to lncrease tenfold compared to the prevlous quarter.
Asla-Paclc (excludlng 1apan) lnbound cross-border deals ln Ql 20l2 added up to US$ l0.7bn, down 55.4% from Ql 20ll (US$
23.9bn) and the lowest level slnce Ql 2009 (US$ 8.4bn). The reglon's outbound cross-border total deal value was US$ ll.8bn ln the
rst quarter thls year, a 4l.9% decrease on Ql 20ll (US$ 20.3bn) and the lowest total slnce Q3 2009 (US$ 7bn).
whlle the usual suspects contlnue to account for the blggest share of Asla-Paclc M&A, there was notlceably more actlvlty ln
smaller Southeast Aslan countrles. Perenco SA's US$ l.3bn acqulsltlon of the vletnam buslness unlt of ConocoPhllllps placed llth
among the reglon's top deals.
Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shron & Co was the top legal advlser ln Asla-Paclc ln Ql 20l2 for the rst tlme on
mergermarket record (slnce 200l), up by 4l places on Ql 20ll. Luthra & Luthra Law Omces, the other advlser lnvolved ln the Sesa
Goa/Sterllte |ndustrles deal, came ln second place.
