The Atlanta Chapter of The Association for Corporate Growth, a global professional organization with the mission of Driving Middle-Market Growth, recognizes Intercontinental Exchange for the 2018 Deals of the Year Awards. The Deals of the Year Award recognizes outstanding transactions or IPOs completed from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 that have had a major impact on business in Atlanta and the region.

Intercontinental Exchange, a Fortune 500 company, is a leading operator of global exchanges and clearing houses and one of the largest data vendors in the world, providing customers with the information services they rely upon to invest, trade and manage risk across global financial and commodity markets.

“ICE is honored to receive the 2018 Deals of the Year Award from ACG Atlanta, an organization whose members have helped grow our community into the fintech powerhouse it has become,” said Ben Jackson, President of Intercontinental Exchange. “ICE got its start here less than two decades ago with the mission to transform, drive transparency and ease customer access to markets and information to manage risk, a mission which still guides us today. Our global headquarters in Atlanta thrives as the hub of our operations, with talented leaders from across our region helping to drive our organic growth and integrate the companies we acquire into our unique ICE culture.”

"Bank of America Merrill Lynch is proud to support ACG in recognizing companies that continue to make a positive economic impact on Atlanta," said Danielle Cheung, the 2018 ACG Atlanta Deals of the Year Committee Chair and Atlanta Market Executive for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "Intercontinental Exchange is a community and industry leader, and we congratulate them on being named Deal of the Year in the Deal Maker category."
