Hi so I was on a buy side advisory role, my client (Buyer 1) was bidding for a company (Target). The bid was unsuccessful and the Target was acquired by another group (Buyer 2) and the deal was closed and made public.
Now I don't think I could name my client (Buyer) as my client never annouced it was bidding. Although there were rumor. Now my question is can I name the Target since it was announced?
But no body know my firm advised on this deal.
