In cases where not clearly indicated, it is assumed that the reported deal value does not include debt. Announcement Date: 01 January 2014 – 31 March 2014 If the deal value is not reported or estimated, it is considered to be zero in calculations. Top deals are selected by announced or estimated deal values. For deals that involve targets operating in more than one country, the deal value is broken down and allocated across all countries involved. The allocation is done based on each country’s contributions to the overall revenues of the target company. The resulting allocated value is included in the volume of deals and the sector breakdowns for each profiled country and for Latin America. The list of top deals for each country includes only deals where the target’s operations are restricted to the respective country. The list of top deals for Latin America may include deals where the target operates in multiple countries in the region. LeagueBoard data is based on DealWatch intelligence and information provided by advisors. In the LeagueBoard we have taken into consideration the deals subject to the criteria described above, however geography was extended for deals with either a buyer, seller or a target located in Latin America. Data collection was closed on 04 April 2014.
