Bloomberg League Criteria
Announced Global League Tables are based upon announced total values, unless otherwise stated in the title. Non-US dollar values are
converted to US dollars at the time of announcement.
Credit will be given to transactions in which Bloomberg classifies as mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, self-tenders, or spin-offs.
Regional and industry League Tables will be based on the country of risk and industry of the ultimate publicly traded parent of a privately held
company where applicable.
Advisors to any member of an investor group, consortium, or joint venture are eligible for full credit.
Deals that are considered to be in proposed status will not be granted credit.
Full versions of Bloomberg’s League Tables Standards & Guidelines can be accessed on Bloomberg Professional:
