Upcoming BB interview - up the odds by mentioning transactions?

Hey guys,

I will have an upcoming FT interview next week. When I was scouring their website, I found two M&A transactions done by them for the same acquirer. One of my close relatives happens to be high up in the acquirer (not C-level though but influential in decision-making). The bank was the executive advisor to those two transactions for two different sellers but not the acquirer. One of the MDs in charge turns out to be Head of M&A at this bank.

Would that be helpful to bring that up during my interview? I will just casually mention it but not intentionally make it like a big deal.
