Executive Summary

Executive Summary

As of January 29, 2010, Aardvarks share price and valuation are at all-time highs, having more than doubled since early 2009 As Aardvarks stock price has soared in value, it has also generated over $35B in cash & cash-equivalents As Aardvarks cash balance grows, it is likely to face shareholder pressure to reinvest the cash in its business and to make significant acquisitions Given Aardvarks strong currency and cash balance, it could easily make several tuck-in acquisitions or larger-scale acquisitions to acquire customers Such a strategy would allow Aardvark to capture more of the smartphone, laptop, and desktop markets, and significantly improve its software offerings Given Aardvarks cash position, such acquisitions could be made with 100% cash or in the case of a larger deal, stock could also be used

Aardvark Valuation

Goldman Stanley

Valuation Summary

Aardvarks current share price of $192.61 far exceeds the value implied by comparable public companies Recent comparable transactions show higher implied valuation ranges due to flurry of consolidation and hardware M&A activity over 2009 Discounted Cash Flow Analysis under base-case assumptions shows implied valuation on-par with Aardvarks current share price, implying that share price is justified All valuation analysis is based on base-case financial projections in line with Wall Street analyst expectations Given Aardvarks cash balance and high valuation multiples vs. similar public companies, few competitors are well-positioned to make substantial acquisitions

Potential Acquisitions

Given Aardvarks large cash balance, it could make a wide variety of acquisitions ranging from small tuck-in deals to acquire technology and IP to larger deals driven by customer or market share acquisition

Tier 1 Potential Acquisitions


Tier 1 acquisition candidates are worth over $1 billion and would significantly boost Aardvarks market share or result in substantial revenue or cost synergies Leading candidates include ARM, for its chipset technology and integration with Aardvarks existing products, and Research in Motion to capture additional share in the corporate smartphone market

Tier 2 Potential Acquisitions Tier 2 acquisition candidates are worth less than $1 billion and would enhance Aardvarks core technology and fill in gaps in existing products Potential acquisitions include specialized chipset and semiconductor companies as well as Web 2.0, social media, and mobile software companies

Process Recommendations

Goldman Stanley

16

Key Recommendations

We recommend engaging in targeted discussions with the Tier 1 acquisition candidates and assessing their receptiveness to M&A discussions At the same time, Goldman Stanley will reach out to Tier 2 candidates and introduce Aardvark as a potential acquirer M&A process with Tier 1 candidates will take significantly longer due to the scale of the companies, so we recommend conducting both processes simultaneously Depending on responses from Tier 1 and Tier 2 candidates, Goldman Stanley and Aardvark may do additional research to determine other potential acquisitions and then approach them Targeted Buy-Side M&A < 5 parties 6 months to 1 year Close-ended Higher success probability Broad Buy-Side M&A 10 100 companies Time required is highly variable Iterative process Lower success probability

Process Recommendation
Targeted Discussions + Broader Search

Specialized Negotiations With One Party

Highly Targeted Process

Broad M&A Process


Broad Marketing

RECOMMENDED
Combination of targeted discussions plus broader search conducted in background maximizes success probability and minimizes disruption to Aardvark Additional parties contacted depend on responsiveness of Tier 1 and Tier 2 companies Interested parties would sign NDAs and then proceed into due diligence and valuation discussions with Aardvark
