• Oil & Gas M&A is bit more active • The recent increase in commodity prices, particularly off of the early July floor, has given confidence to the market • Recent deals:
• Private equity generally remains on the sidelines, but we believe they are preparing for a meaningful increase in activity later in 2016
• Most private equity funds have been raising significant capital as part of their regular fundraising activity and in anticipation of a market rebound
• Recent deals:

• Debt-for-Debt Exchanges • Offerings of second lien notes in exchange for outstanding unsecured notes at a deep discounts began in May 2015, but now
somewhat out of favor based on poor trading performance for some
• Small groups of majority holders are generally offered second lien notes, while remaining noteholders often offered only third lien notes at different pricing
• A few exchanges included a side by side 144A offering to raise additional liquidity
• Payments for consent remain an issue
• Payments to any noteholder for a consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of an indenture must be made to all noteholders
• Greater interest in preferred deals, particularly in the MLP space • Recent deals:
• Pros • Can come at a lower cost than common unit issuance • New pool of capital outside of traditional LP unit investors • Some equity credit from rating agencies, so balance sheet accretive
• Cons • Smaller than common unit issuance, so may not serve as a significant source of equity funding for the sector • Investors take a Schedule K-1 and not a 1099; tax planning necessary for certain institutional investors
• Common Terms • Liquidation Preference - $25.00 if public; purchase price if private – plus accrued distributions in each case • Distributions typically based on more normalized yield plus 2% to 4%; can be PIK • Conversion triggers vary but include COC, forced conversion based on price appreciation, optional conversion by the holder • Redemption triggers include fixed period (5 years or 10 years), COC • Minority protection are fairly limited in public deals – issuance of pari or senior securities, change in partnership agreement that would be
materially adverse, voting on an as-converted basis with common units • Generally no board representation or only board observer unless (in public deals) distributions remain unpaid for 6 quarters (then up to 2)

• So far, the Commission closed four of the six formal investigations it has launched into tax rulings
• Before Ireland, it decided that Luxembourg and the Netherlands had granted selective tax advantages to Fiat and Starbucks respectively Individual APAs
• The Commission also adopted a final decision finding that the Belgian measure exempting excess profits constituted State aid and ordered Belgium to recover the aid from the beneficiaries Aid scheme
"In the current context of tight public budgets, it is particularly important that large multinationals pay their fair share of taxes. Under the EU's state aid rules, national authorities cannot take measures allowing certain companies to pay less tax than they should if the tax rules of the Member State were applied in a fair and non-discriminatory way.” Joaquín Almunia
• Great Recession 2008-2012 • Tax shopping competition among EU Member States • Counter aggressive tax planning
• In June 2013, the European Commission opened investigations under EU State aid rules into the tax ruling practice of six Member States: i.e. Cyprus, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands and the UK.
• In December 2014, the Commission also requested information from Belgium and extended its State aid enquiry on tax rulings to all Member States.
• The Commission negative decision of 30 August 2016 (Apple/Ireland) was just the latest outcome of a widespread investigation that covered…MORE THAN 1,000 TAX RULINGS!!
Immediate action because Commission has exclusive competence
TAX HARMONIZATION: • In December 2012, the Commission issued two
formal recommendations: (1) one on aggressive tax planning and (2) the other regarding third countries’ minimum standards of good governance in tax matters.
• In 2016, the Commission also published a Communication on external strategy for effective taxation.
• In January 2016, the Commission adopted the Anti-Tax Avoidance Package, which reflects the OECD’s anti-Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project (“BEPS”) and introduces suggestions for “fairer, simpler and more effective” corporate taxation in the EU.
• A Common Consolidated Tax Base project has been announced for late 2016.
Unanimity of Member States in the European Council after opinion of the European Parliament
1. Advantage: Arm’s length principle ➜ prices charged for commercial transactions between various parts of the same group of
companies, in particular for goods sold or services provided by one subsidiary of a corporate group to another subsidiary of the same group do not reflect market reality
➜ Mis-allocation of taxable profit between subsidiaries of a group located in different countries
➜ OECD Guidelines v. EU State aid law concept
2. Selectivity: Not open to all. ➜ comfort letters by tax authorities giving a specific company clarity on how its corporate tax
will be calculated or on the use of special tax provisions
➜ as such are not problematic
➜ but may involve state aid if provide selective advantages to a specific company or group of companies
• General measures: tax measures open to all economic agents operating within a Member State
• Tax measures of a technical nature (e.g., tax rate, depreciation rules, loss carry-over rules, or provisions to prevent double taxation/tax avoidance)
• Measures pursuing general economic policy objectives through a reduction of the tax burden related to the production of goods (e.g., R&D/environmental incentives)
• Apple Sales International (ASI) and Apple Operations Europe (AOE) are two Irish incorporated companies part of a group controlled by Apple Inc. (U.S.)
• The taxable profits of ASI and AOE in Ireland were determined on the basis of individual tax rulings granted by Ireland in 1991 and 2007
• These tax rulings endorsed a split of the profits for tax purposes in Ireland • most profits were internally allocated away from Ireland to a “head office”. • Their «head offices» are located nowhere, therefore not taxed. • Same tax mechanism for ASI and AOE.
• According to the Commission, the tax rulings issued by Ireland endorsed an artificial internal
allocation of profits within ASI and AOE, which has no factual or economic justification.
• Objective of the recovery: remove the distortion of competition created by the aid. There are NO FINES and recovery does not aim at penalising the beneficiary, but only at re-establishing the conditions of competition.
• The Commission has set out in its decision the methodology to calculate the value of the advantage enjoyed by Apple. However, recovery is the responsibility of the Member State that has granted the aid and follows national procedural rules.
• EU procedural rules allow the recovery of the illegal State aid with a 10-year limitation period, starting from the Commission’s first enquiry into the ruling.
• The amount of the aid to be recovered by Ireland would be reduced if other countries (including the U.S.) were to require Apple to pay taxes on the profits recorded in their territories during the recovery period.
