Analysis
1. Creates a powerful expansion platform for focused long-term growth in the country which
we view as our second home market. City National serves high net worth and commercial
client segments in select high-growth markets, and represents a unique opportunity to
complement and enhance our existing U.S. businesses and product offering.
2. RBC supports City Nationals community reinvestment program, and both RBC and City
National are committed to making a meaningful, positive difference in the communities
they serve. City National also has a strong leadership team and its employees are focused
on building deep, long-lasting relationships with their clients.
3. City Nationals private banking and wealth management capabilities will enable us to offer
a broader product suite to the 340,000 U.S. households served by our U.S. Wealth
Management unit. It also has industry specialties which complement our strong U.S. Capital
Markets franchise. Its leadership has a proven track record of strong performance and we
are confident this transaction will create significant long-term value for RBCs shareholders
4. City National remains a top provider of financial services to Hollywood and the broader
entertainment industry, catering to the hip-hop scene in Atlanta, country music in Nashville
and serving as the banker for Broadway shows, including the hit "The Book of Mormon." It
also is the official bank of the Tony Awards.

Analysis
1. The acquisition of Aeroflex is expected to have neutral impact on underlying earnings
in the current year. Expected returns will beat Cobham's cost of capital in the third full
year of ownership. Cobham expects the ratio of Net Debt/EBITDA of the enlarged
Group at closing to be approximately 2.5x, with a target Net Debt/EBITDA ratio for the
year ending 2015 of approximately 2.1x.
2. Cobham proposes to finance the Acquisition, which includes the refinancing of existing
debt facilities of Aeroflex, through bank facilities. In order to maintain an appropriate
level of gearing, the acquisition financing will include the proceeds of an equity placing
of up to approximately 6 % of Cobham's current issued share capital.
3. Analyzing the financial statements of Cobham of 2014 & 2015, PAT has drastically
decreased on account of reconciliation of business acquisition. However, the revenue
in 2015 has increased by more than 10%, which indicates that the acquisition has
resulted in expanding the business revenues.
