*Investment Banking rankings include all equity and equity-linked private placement transactions conducted by public companies with a primary listing on the AIM and London Stock Exchange (for UK Transactiosn), the Australian Securities Exchange (for Australian Transactions), and the Toronto Stock Exchange, Toronto Venture Exchange, and Canada's New Exchange (for Canadian Transactions). 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 transactions reported as of February 4, 2010.

A primary listing outside the U.S. is designated by PlacementTracker when the issuer has no U.S. listing or when the issuer has a U.S. dual-listing on the Pink Sheets. An issuer with a U.S. dual listing on the NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, or OTC-BB is classified as a U.S. issuer by PlacementTracker.
