SUMMARY OBSERVATIONS
4 Q2 2013 IN REVIEW
Digital Media and Software M&A and Private Placement Activity
Summary Observations Global Digital Media deal activity has seen another quarter of declines while the Software sector has seen the
number of private placements grow
Source: Siemer & Associates’ proprietary research database
Despite a flurry of headlines highlighting large acquisitions made by buyers such as Yahoo! (Tumblr) or Google
(Waze), data on global Digital Media and Software M&A and Private Placement activity points to generally lower deal
activity relative to last year
Global Digital Media and Software M&A has now seen two consecutive quarters of declining deal activity and values
― Digital Media M&A declined quarter-over-quarter in Q2 2013 by 14.2% in terms of number of deals and by 26.6% in terms of
median deal value
― Software M&A declined quarter-over-quarter in Q2 2013 by 8.7% in terms of number of deals and by 8.8% in terms of median
deal value
Global Digital Media Private Placements have also seen two consecutive quarters of declining deal activity and size
― Declined quarter-over-quarter in Q2 2013 by 6.9% in terms of numbers of deals and by 19.5% in terms of median size of
round
Global Software Private Placements, however, have seen a strong increase in number of deals by 32.3% quarter-
over-quarter – while at the same time showing a decrease of nearly a third in terms of median round size
― These trends are consistent with what we see as a growing shift in VC interest away from B2C and Consumer Internet
investments and toward B2B and Software investments
― Anecdotal evidence points toward very healthy M&A and capital raise advisory activity at investment banks focused on the
Software sector
5 Q2 2013 IN REVIEW
Digital Media and Software M&A and Private Placement Activity
Summary Observations (cont.) Trends seem to indicate that capital is increasingly flowing into earlier stage startups, with fewer companies
making it to pre-IPO rounds; large strategic buyers increasingly opting to acquire at an earlier stage
Source: Siemer & Associates’ proprietary research database
Regarding smaller private placement deal sizes, we believe this is due to a combination of factors:
― Companies requiring less and less capital to start up in today’s environment
― Bifurcation of the market where more capital is flowing into earlier stage startups while fewer and fewer companies desire or
make it to the point of being able to raise a large, pre-IPO round
― Trends point toward large strategic buyers increasingly opting to acquire at an earlier stage in a company’s development –
both in Media and in Software
― In regards to software, there is a growing trend to see startups grow to $2 - $3 mm in revenue, prove out client adoption and
scalability of a desirable point solution or feature, and sell to one of the large strategics at that point before the company
becomes “expensive”
Channel checks with generalist M&A lawyers and private equity firms indicate that deal flow has been somewhat
weaker in Q1 and Q2 2013 relative to last year
― However, early stage tech-focused lawyers and venture capital firms seem to have remained “busy”
― There is a perception that there has been a lot of “market check” exploration by sellers and “sniffing around” by strategic
buyers which has not translated into completed deals per se – at least not yet

21 Q2 2013 IN REVIEW
Digital Media and Software M&A and Private Placement Activity
Digital Media
Compared to the first half of 2012, the number of M&A
deals for B2C online media and technology dropped
slightly by 10.0%
The decline in overall M&A activity in Q2 2013 has
been masked by headline deals such as
Yahoo!/Tumblr and Google/Waze
Yahoo!’s $1.1bn acquisition of Tumblr connects the
Internet giant to large online communities by targeting
the younger generation of digital media users
Google’s $1.1bn acquisition of Waze allows for the
integration of social navigation in Google’s product
offerings while solidifying its position as a global
leader in the mobile mapping sector
Alibaba Group’s $586.0mm acquisition of an 18.0%
stake in Weibo gives it entrance into the social media
scene and access to the microblogging platform’s data
Software
Cloud computing and the ability to leverage big data in
the cloud continues to be a big driver of Software M&A
activity
Salesforce.com’s $2.4bn acquisition of ExactTarget
combines two leading software companies, bolstering
Salesforce.com’s Marketing Cloud platform with
marketing automation and email marketing capabilities
IBM’s acquisition of cloud computing infrastructure
provider SoftLayer Technologies diversifies IBM’s
cloud offerings for enterprise planning
Service Link’s acquisition of Lender Processing
Services Inc. (LPS) expands Service Link’s ability to
offer mortgage analysis services through integrated
support and solutions, indicative of how certain service
providers are repositioning themselves as technology
platforms

22 Q2 2013 IN REVIEW
Digital Media and Software M&A and Private Placement Activity
M&A and Private Placement Outlook Due to a rising public equity market and higher domestic growth rates, strategic buyers are actively seeking
acquisitions that provide access to supplementary revenue streams
Source: Siemer & Associates’ proprietary research database
Deal activity in Q2 2013 was primarily driven by small transactions in which companies looked to acquire talent and
bolt-on technologies to grow their existing businesses
― Strategic acquirers continue to look for targets with complimentary technologies, access to data and / or tools or content
platforms
For the remainder of 2013, deal flow across the Digital Media and Software sectors is expected to increase as
buyers tap into large amounts of accumulated cash to acquire new products or talent
― In the Digital Media sector, early stage investments in new platforms and technologies continue to be a major theme and M&A
activity continues to skew toward the lower to middle market as large consolidators such as Google, Yahoo! and Facebook
seek to acquire companies at an earlier stage
― Mobile Technologies and Digital Advertising are expected to continue to lead activity in Digital Media as traditional media
firms begin to adapt to new distribution and monetization models
― In the Software sector, demand for cloud-based networks and infrastructure is continuing to drive innovation and M&A activity
through the remainder of 2013
VC and PE investors continue to seek out large market opportunities in Big Data and Mobile
― Q2 2013’s largest software private placement: AirWatch’s $225.0mm financing, demonstrates rising investor confidence in the
growth of mobile
