1. The individual contributions of the banks that participated in the $800,000,000 syndicated loan are unknown. For the time being, AidData assumes equal contributions ($88,888,888) across all 9 members of the loan syndicate. 2. The average SOFR interest rate for June 2023 was 5.06%. Therefore, the all-in interest rate was coded as 1.2% + 5.06%, or 6.26%.
