Executive Summary

Executive Summary As of January 29, 2010, Aardvark’s share price and valuation are at all-time highs, having more than doubled since early 2009 As Aardvark’s stock price has soared in value, it has also generated over $35B in cash & cash-equivalents As Aardvark’s cash balance grows, it is likely to face shareholder pressure to re- invest the cash in its business and to make significant acquisitions Given Aardvark’s 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 Aardvark’s 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

Valuation Summary Aardvark’s 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 Aardvark’s 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 Aardvark’s cash balance and high valuation multiples vs. similar public companies, few competitors are well-positioned to make substantial acquisitions

Potential Acquisitions

Potential Acquisitions Given Aardvark’s 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 Aardvark’s market share or result in substantial revenue or cost synergies Leading candidates include ARM, for its chipset technology and integration with Aardvark’s 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 Aardvark’s 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

Key Recommendations Targeted Buy-Side M&A Broad Buy-Side M&A 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 Broad Buy-Side M&A Fewer than 5 parties contacted Ranges from 10 to hundreds of companies 6 months to 1 year Time required is highly variable Close-ended Iterative process Higher success probability Lower success probability
