* 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.

* Numeric totals are for the number of deals. Where individual tranches have different features (e.g. interest rate, flex), breakdown is by tranches, otherwise breakdown is by number of deals (e.g. use of proceeds, industry sector).
