Investment Banking Receives The M&A Advisor Deal of the Year Award

The Raymond James Investment Banking Group was recently honored with The M&A Advisor Middle-Market Deal of the Year Award for its role in the acquisition of Nuclear Fuel Services by Babcock & Wilcox Company. The award was presented at The M&A Advisor’s 8th annual Mergers & Acquisitions Awards Gala in New York on December 14, hosted by FOX Business News anchor Dagen McDowell.

The awards gala honored deal teams, deal makers and firms whose activities set the standard in the M&A industry. Award recipients were chosen by an independent body of experts from a variety of industry categories.

“The award winners represent the best of the M&A industry in 2009 and earned these honors by standing out in a group of very impressive finalists,” said Roger Aguinaldo, CEO of The M&A Advisor. “The winners should take pride in their awards and the message they send about the resilience of our industry.”

The Nuclear Fuel Services transaction, led by the Raymond James Industrial Growth Group, was selected from among 10 finalists, including two other Raymond James transactions – the acquisition of Liberty Tire Services by American Securities Capital and the acquisition of PayCycle by Intuit. Raymond James was also nominated for Investment Banking Firm of the Year.
