Lending, deal by deal
Loans of £300m, $300m or €300m and more arranged by these banks in the last two years, as the borrower's own filing states them: the size, the margin over the benchmark, the fee and the tenor. A lender publishes nothing about its terms. A listed borrower has to, so this is where the price of a loan is written down.

40 facilities from credit agreements filed with the SEC and from regulatory news announcements in London, read 1 and 2 November 2026, a sample of the window and not a census: the full-text search at EDGAR refused the reader, so the American set came from the quarterly form indexes. Where a filing states the size and the banks but no margin or fee, the cell says Not stated. The margin is the grid as filed, lowest tier to highest, in percentage points over the named benchmark. The table as a file: lending.csv.
Figures as filed. A borrower who files is a borrower who had to.
