* The tables include dollar-denominated deals offered in the United States reported to Prospect News.

* Deals must be $75 million or bigger for inclusion.

* All loans are leveraged: either the interest rate margin is 150 bps or higher or they are rated speculative-grade by Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's.

* Offerings are included in the time period in which the bank meeting was held (if available), otherwise the earlier of settlement date or date reported to Prospect News.
