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.
Advisory fees hold no weight over advisory credit.
General Database Criteria
A transaction is considered to have been announced upon the release of terms offered by the acquirer, and acknowledgement of the offer by
the target company.
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:
{LEAG<GO>}: M&A
Bloomberg L.P. reserves the right of final decision concerning league eligibility and requires adequate documentation for the same. Bloomberg L.P. and its suppliers believe the information herein was obtained from reliable sources, but they do not guarantee its accuracy. Neither the information nor the opinion expressed constitutes a solicitation of the purchase or sale of securities or commodities. Due to the dynamic nature of the Professional Service product, League Table rankings may vary between the quarterly/year-end publications and data found on the Bloomberg Professional Service.
