Resume question

Hi everyone - have a random question. I’m a 2nd year associate in PE and i am refreshing my resume for recruiting. 
I was on 2 deals recently,1 which we lost the bid for and the other we passed on. Both companies were ultimately sold to another firm and the news was public. 
am I allowed to name the companies on my resume since they did get sold (just not to us)?
