fourth-highest total since our records began in 2000. US$441.2 million worth of advisory fees were earned from completed M&A transactions throughout 2020, up 12% from 2019 and the
second-highest year in fees since 2000, second only to 2007 with US$447.3 million. Debt capital markets saw an increase in fees reaching a record US$282.3 million, up 10% compared to
2019. This represents the highest annual fees total since our records began in 2000. Meanwhile, equity capital market underwriting fees declined 61% to $86.9 million, marking the lowest full-
year equity fees total since 2016. Syndicated loans also fell 8% to a three-year low of US$410.4 million. Government and Agencies contributed the most fees with US$450.7 million,

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONSThe Refinitiv Mergers & Acquisitions database tracks changes in economic ownership at ultimate parent level in going
business concerns. All deals involving a purchase of at least a 5% stake, or 3% with a value of at least US$1 million are
tracked, subject to criteria. League tables include rank eligible mergers, acquisitions, repurchases, spin-offs, self-tenders,
minority stake purchases and debt restructurings. League tables, commentary, and charts citing announced activity are
based on Rank Date and include intended, pending, partially complete, completed, pending regulatory, and unconditional
transactions. Rank Date is defined as the earliest public announcement of when a value can be applied to a transaction.
EQUITY CAPITAL MARKETSThe Refinitiv Equity Capital Markets database covers domestic and international placements of equity offerings in addition
to domestic and international equity-related transactions. This includes IPOs, follow-on offerings, accelerated book builds
and block trades (with certain restrictions) and convertible bonds. Convertible Bonds with a minimum life of less than 360
days are excluded. Minimum life defined as the difference between the settlement date and the earliest maturity date or
first call/put option.
DEBT CAPITAL MARKETSThe Refinitiv Debt Capital Markets database covers underwritten debt with an issue size of over US$1 million, that
matures in at least 360 days from settlement. It includes all internationally offered underwritten debt transactions in all
currencies, Domestic issuance, Preferred Securities, High Yield and Emerging Market transactions that are offered in US
and Globally, Asset Backed Securities, Mortgage Backed Securities, Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs), MTN
takedowns and Certificate of Deposits, except in UK. Primary offerings only. All league tables are based on deal
proceeds (total issue amount multiplied by the issue price) unless otherwise stated. Full credit is given to the book
runner, equal if joint books. In cases of underwriter consolidation, credit is given to the surviving/parent firm. Non-US
dollar denominated transactions are converted to the US dollar equivalent at the time of announcement.
