Investment Banking rankings exclude all 144-A Offerings, Equity Lines of Credit, At the Market Transactions, Rights Offerings, Bought Deals, and all PIPE transactions conducted by foreign issuers that trade in the U.S. on the OTC.  On transactions where an investment banking firm has acted solely as Financial Advisor, that transaction has been excluded from that firm's ranking.  Co-agented transactions award full transaction credit to all agents participating (regardless of status of lead agent or co-agent).  Data is for closed and definitive agreement transactions reported as of 04/15/2019.
