Investment Banking CSFB advised International Paper on its successful $9.6 billion unsolicited offer
Fixed Income for Champion International, which had planned on merging with a European
Equity company. The transaction, which further strengthens International Paper’s position
as the world’s leading paper and forest products company, is one of the largest
ever in the paper industry.
We acted as sole M&A advisor to International Paper and put together a compre-
hensive financing package to help the company achieve its objective. In addition,
we solely underwrote a $6 billion bank financing commitment to support the offer.
This commitment was innovative because it provided the acquirer with a guar-
antee of funds for its bid – without limiting its flexibility to tap multiple capital
markets in order to minimize the ultimate cost of funding the acquisition. To
complete the financing, CSFB acted as lead arranger and administrative agent
on a $3 billion credit facility for International Paper and as lead manager on an
issue of $3 billion in senior notes.
(LINE OF BUSINESS) As lead manager on a $950 million follow-on equity offering for Human Genome
Investment Banking
Sciences (HGS), we played an integral role in helping to complete the second-
Fixed Income largest primary share biotechnology issue ever. The transaction was highly suc-
Equity cessful in great part because of the effectiveness of our global marketing effort,
which helped to increase already high levels of investor interest in HGS, a leading
genomics and biopharmaceutical company. Ultimately, CSFB was able to under-
write 12.7 million shares for the client — 50% more than originally anticipated.
In addition, the stock enjoyed a successful first day of trading after the offering,
rising 17.5% by the market close.
The secondary equity issue was the fifth that CSFB had led since June 1999 for
Human Genome Sciences. The first four were sole managed convertible offerings
that raised a total of $850 million and together represented the largest-ever
volume for a series of convertible biotechnology financings. By raising substantial
amounts of capital for HGS, we are helping the company to remain at the fore-
front of its industry as it mines the human genome to yield novel and powerful
therapeutics for the treatment of significant diseases.

Investment Banking the Republic of Poland made major headlines in the March 2000 financial press.
Fixed Income Not only was it Poland’s first international financing since 1997 — and its first-ever
Equity Euro-denominated Eurobond issue — but advance marketing in five European
capitals created such demand that the issue was oversubscribed more than 2.5
times. With indications of interest totaling almost €2 billion, the transaction was
comfortably increased by 50% from its original €400 million level, establishing a
new liquid benchmark in what was the longest-term Eastern European transaction
at the time. The pricing in relation with comparable issues for the region was highly
competitive. Many of the investors in the Baa1/BBB+-rated issue were institutions

With its successful return to the international debt markets, Poland accomplished
its objective of broadening its investor base to include a high-quality, pan-

publicly traded oil company in terms of reserves and production — and a U.S.-
Equity based, global enterprise that is highly competitive across all energy sectors.
Significantly, the merger should result in annual savings of at least $1.2 billion
for the new entity, ChevronTexaco, beginning six to nine months from the com-
pletion date. The transaction is expected to be accretive to the new company’s
earnings and cash flow once the savings start to be realized. Moreover, it fosters
improved capital efficiency — and, hence, improved returns on capital over time
— by funding the best growth opportunities available to the merged companies.
Investment Dealers’ Digest named the merger “Breakthrough M&A Deal” for 2000.

increased flexibility in making acquisitions in a rapidly consolidating industry.

Fixed Income dated to DLJ in 2000. The enormous cross-border acquisition involves complex
Equity legal, tax, shareholder and financial issues.
The DLJ team, now part of CSFB’s Investment Banking Division, played a crucial
role in structuring and negotiating a transaction that facilitated the German telecom
leader’s entry into the U.S. market. First, the team secured voting and lockup
agreements from VoiceStream’s major shareholders to limit the likelihood of a
competing offer; then, it implemented a $5 billion convertible preferred stock
investment on Deutsche Telekom’s behalf to assist the target company in its
planned bidding for licenses and the build-out of its existing networks. After
announcing the acquisition, Deutsche Telekom hired DLJ to advise it on its
pending $6.7 billion acquisition of Powertel Inc.

LY C O S :

CSFB advised Lycos on its $12.5 billion stock-for-stock sale to Terra Networks S.A.,
a cross-border transaction that created one of the largest global on-line media
networks with operations in 37 countries. We structured and negotiated a three-
level transaction: a share-for-share exchange between Terra and Lycos reflecting
close to a 100% premium to the Lycos shareholders; a $2 billion rights offering by
Terra with a funding guarantee from Telefonica (former Terra parent); and a
$1 billion, five-year commerce agreement between Terra Lycos and Bertelsmann
that eliminated a great deal of investment risk for the Lycos shareholders.
The acquisition positioned Terra Lycos as the first truly global Internet company
focusing on both access and content. It also created a company with a unique
convergence of services, content and distribution, making it the Internet’s
fourth-most-visited destination.
One of the most innovative features of the novel transaction structure was a
(LINE OF BUSINESS) symmetrical share-price collar, which guaranteed Lycos shareholders $97.55 per
Investment Banking share in Terra stock even if Terra’s stock price declined as much as 20% prior to

deal, and nearly unprecedented for a transaction of this size in any industry.

raised a total of $4 billion from the sale of 16.64% of the country’s national oil
Fixed Income company, Petrobras, including 71 million common shares that were sold in Brazil.
Equity CSFB Garantia acted as sole lead-manager and book-runner for the Brazilian
tranche, which was itself the largest-ever local tranche of an emerging markets
equity offering. The transaction was innovative because it marked the first time
the Brazilian government had allowed individuals to invest funds from their retire-
ment plans in equity securities, and it paved the way for the future use of retail
distribution in Brazilian privatizations.

participant in Australia’s largest-ever M&A transaction — the bank’s A$10.2 billion

assets of the country’s second-largest insurer. More significantly, it brought
together two of Australia’s most successful, innovative financial services com-
panies to create an international financial services force with leading market
positions in banking, asset management and life insurance. Also, the acquisition
will help CBA to accelerate growth and to diversify its revenue base both geo-
graphically and by product. The merger was selected as “M&A Deal of the Year”
by Asiamoney.
In 2000, CSFB ranked as the leading financial advisor in Australia for announced

Investment Banking
the world’s largest ever registered secondary offering for a technology company.

Equity executed this offering against a difficult market backdrop characterized by high
volatility and a number of pulled and postponed transactions. From the expiry of
Philips’ lock-up in March to the launch of the transaction in June, CSFB main-
tained a high degree of readiness and a continuous dialog with Philips and ASML
to ensure the selection of the optimal market window. An intensive, but rapid,
marketing effort supported by an in-depth analysis of the investor base resulted
in a successful placement with the book being covered 2.4 times and a strong
aftermarket performance. The offering was the fourth CSFB-lead financing for
Philips and ASML since that company’s original IPO in 1995.

V E R I TA S :
ONE OF THE LARGEST TECHNOLOGY DEALS EVER COMPLETED AND
INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR’S “TECHNOLOGY DEAL OF THE YEAR”
(LINE OF BUSINESS)
CSFB advised VERITAS on the acquisition of a 32% interest in VERITAS and other
assets held by Seagate Technology — one of the largest technology deals ever
Investment Banking
Fixed Income completed. VERITAS is a leading provider of enterprise-class application storage
Equity management software and one of the largest software companies in the world.
Seagate was the world’s largest manufacturer of disk drives and a leading devel-
oper of Business Intelligence software, and a major holder of VERITAS shares
(obtained through the sale of a portion of its software business to VERITAS in 1999).
The primary issue facing Seagate was that the value of its equity stake in VERITAS
alone exceeded its own market capitalization, and there was no straightforward
method to deliver this value to its shareholders without incurring a significant tax
bill. The solution was a unique, two-step transaction structured by CSFB, in which
an investor group first acquired the operating businesses of Seagate and then
VERITAS acquired the remainder of Seagate (consisting solely of VERITAS stock
and certain monetary assets). As a result of the transaction, VERITAS retired approxi-
mately 18.7 million VERITAS shares, a guaranteed value recapture of approximately
$3 billion based on share prices at announcement, and VERITAS freed itself of
any control by Seagate. Seagate, on the other hand, was able to unlock value
for its shareholders, who received both the value of VERITAS common stock in
a tax-efficient manner and value for Seagate’s core operating businesses.

supplier and enhancing the company’s product offering to converged networks.
As one of the foremost technology leaders in Canada, Newbridge is the leading

and research platform for clients in foreign exchange, the world’s largest market.
CSFB took a lead role in the creation of Virt-x, the electronic pan-European
exchange for blue chip stocks. We also joined other industry-leading initiatives
such as MarketAxess, Swapswire, TheMarkets.com and Capital IQ. TradeWeb,
which CSFB helped launch, has achieved a number one on-line market share in
electronic trading of U.S. government securities. Our own single-dealer system
for clients, PrimeTrade, was named winner of “Best Site for Exchange-Traded
Derivatives Trading” in Euromoney’s Internet Awards 2000. The Firm is now
expanding and integrating our on-line trading, issuance, tools and research
capabilities into a one-stop financial network for clients.
