it should be noted that the $425 billion in dry powder actually translates in $1 trillion or more in purchasing power, given leverage available in today’s marketplace. Despite the strong tailwind from an M&A perspective, significant risks emerged in 1H 2012 that resulted in a cautious, “wait and see” attitude among buyers and sellers and caused a slowdown in processes o Disturbances within the European Union’s fiscal agendas o Run up in commodity prices o Continued elevated unemployment levels o Continued malaise within housing and construction Investment Opportunities around the World and Stimulating Growth Main Investment Opportunities for Latin America Sergio Michelsen September 2012 Table of Content I.

Huang Senior Partner Dacheng Law Offices Agenda Current Economic and Investment Climate in China and Asia Outbound Chinese Investment Inbound Chinese Investment Investment Environment in China Eurozone Crisis: Impact and Consequences on Chinese Investment Brief summary of current Investment Climate in China Economic Development in China and Chinese Investment Market: •2001 – World Trade Organisation exponential increase in investments •The world’s second largest economy – expected to be the first in 2020-2030 •Increase in purchaser power and acquisition of consumer goods •China – highest personal savings in the world good opportunity for investors •China is the second largest recipient of FDI globally. Current Economic Health in the rest Asia : •Current sluggish global economy has impacted Asia’s growth •Outlook has dimmed - GDP growth to reach 6.6% in 2012 and 7.1% in 2013 due to the weak global economic environment and slower growth in China •Inflation in developing Asia is projected to moderate to 4.4% given the weaker outlook on economic growth and the declining trends in international oil and food prices Outbound Foreign Direct Investment Outbound Foreign Direct Investment Summary: • Has slowed down this year Outbound direct investment rose to 8.5% in 2011 (compared to 2010 – where there was an annual increase of 22%) • Economic growth target of China has been reduced accordingly • Chinese investors $75 billion in FDI in 2011 • Investment in foreign financial sectors fell 29.7% in 2011 (because of caution of the international financial problems in Europe and US) • Government experts predict however that overseas direct investment will rise in the coming year China has set goals to increase FDI at an average rate of 17% for the 2011-2015 period. Outbound Foreign Direct Investment Where and in what sectors is China investing in?– Outbound Investment Hotspots Locations : •Asia, Europe and North America continue to be the hottest destinations for Chinese investment. •Strong investment links with Africa which continue to grow – in 2009 China became Africa’s largest trading partner. In 2010 trade between the two countries reached $126.9 billion. China also relies on African nations for one-third of its imported crude oil. Sectors of Outbound Investment Trends in order of importance : 1) Manufacturing sectors 3. Farming 2)Distribution 4. Fishery 5. Construction Prospective Investments : •Investment is likely to rise in Australia as state-owned enterprises become more and more commercially minded and expand. In the last 6 years, over $45 billion has been invested in Australia. 80% in mining 12% in oil and gas Investment has been greatest in New South Wales Expected increase in investment in Australian farming land in particular •Growing trend of China investing in stable supplies of natural resources. •Surging investment in Africa’s mining industry - last year it reached $15.6 billion in 2011 and is expected to continue to grow. Inbound Foreign Direct Investment in China Inbound Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Summary: Intro/background: •Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has increased considerably in the last decade – reached over $185 billion in 2010. •China is the second largest recipient of FDI globally. Current climate: •2012: Investment fell 0.7% from a year earlier to $8.4 billion. •From January to July 2012, Newly Approved Foreign-invested Enterprises amounted to 13,677, down by 12.33% •2012: the actual use of foreign investment reached US$ 66.669 billion, down by 3.64% (compared to 2011) Inbound Foreign Direct Investments Where and in what sectors is China the Recipient of Investment? – Inbound Investment Hotspots Sectors: •Energy investments -China is 4th hot spot in the world •Property sector - Foreign investment grew 57.3% in 2010 •Service Industry hot spot for investment full liberalisation of China’s service industry and good prospects for economic growth and huge service demand Locations: •First half of 2012 – First tier cities continue to expand economies – average 12% per year. However, second tier cities averaged at 18.5%. •Second tier cities attract investor because: - Surging demand, - Lower production costs, - Favourable policy shifts. - Lower labour costs, - Lower energy and rent costs - Improved infrastructure •However, lack of skilled labour in second tier cities and transportation costs (ex: to the East Coast) potentially wipe out the labour cost savings of locating in second tier cities. •Nonetheless, second tier cities are investment hotspots Investment Environment in China Bribery in China •Is not uncommon (see 2012 case of Mr Peterson) •However, is less prominent agencies have been set up to ensure effective supervision and regulate behaviour of Chinese companies when they invest abroad and push them to abide by laws/regulations/business codes. •Between July 2005 and December 2011, anti-graft agencies cracked more than 100,000 bribery cases involving 26 billion RMB(4.13 billion US dollars) Movement of multinational companies in China •Some companies are leaving China (labor cost increase - Authorities have said that they expect China's average minimum wage to grow at least 13% annually over the next five years- , SEC rule is becoming more strict etc.) •Targeting second tier cities (see above). Investment Environment in China Difficulties and Barriers for M&A in China: 1.Regulation 2.Hidden Liabilities 3.The Real Control of the Acquired Business 4.Dealing with State-owned companies 5.The Legality of VIE Structure Investment Strategies to overcome these barriers: •In order for an M&A transaction to be successful, the company in question must meet China’s criteria for acceptable foreign investment. To do so, the company must demonstrate a commitment to shares in high-value technologies and skills. •Creating a joint venture may help to prevent M&A transactions from being hit by China’s limits on foreign ownership of business in tightly controlled sectors such as banking, life insurance etc. 6 Factors that Stimulate Investment in China: 1. Capital Investment 2. Competitiveness •China’s attractiveness as a destination for investment rests on - Development of infrastructure - Productivity and work force skills - Resource availability - Development of business value-chain 3. Regulatory Environment •Some mandatory joint-venture partnerships in China (Government Agent or local Company as a partner) •Chinese Government’s promotion of investment activities – financial incentives (tax breaks, grants, low-cost loans etc.) 4. Stability •Economic and social 5. Local Chinese Market and Business Climate •The ability of enterprises – backed by foreign capital – to sell a sizeable local market makes China an attractive destination for FDI. •Economic growth and FDI can create a “success domino effect” 6. Openess to Regional and International Trade The Eurozone crisis: Perceptions, effects and consequences on Chinese Investment abroad Effects and Consequences on Chinese Investment: •Growth in overseas direct investment slowed sharply in 2011 •Outbound direct investment rose to 8.5% in 2011 (compared to 2010 – where there was an annual increase of 22%) •Investment in foreign financial sectors fell 29.7% in 2011 (because cautious of the international financial problems in Europe and US) •Effects on the Chinese financial market influence on stock and bond prices •Effects on the Chinese trade market declining export to Europe However: •High level of investment and market confidence on China’s capital market stable Shanghai Stock Exchange •High level of domestic market in China predicted to be a “magnet factor” for FDI in China Investment Propspects: •Government experts predict that overseas direct investment will rise in the coming year China has set goals to increase FDI at an average rate of 17% for the 2011-2015 period. •Market observers and government officials have emphasised that now is an opportune time for Chinese companies to invest overseas as the price of quality assets have fallen in light of the Eurozone crisis and global economic slowdown.
