Project narrative
On or around October 20, 2006, a syndicate of 12 lenders — including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) — provided a $200 million USD syndicated loan to Pusan Bank (now Busan Bank) for unspecified purposes. The facility was divided into two tranches which carried maturity periods of one and three years. ICBC acted as a co-arranger and contributed $6 million USD to the facility. The following lenders played the following roles and contributed these amounts: Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) (senior manager, $2 million USD), BayernLB (mandated lead arranger, $31.4 million USD), Calyon (mandated lead arranger, $31.4 million USD), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (mandated lead arranger, $31.4 million USD), Standard Chartered (mandated lead arranger, $31.4 million USD), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (mandated lead arranger), Dresdner Bank (arranger, $10 million USD), DZ Bank (arranger, $10 million USD), Fortis (arranger, $10 million USD), First Commercial Bank (senior manager, $3 million USD), Toronto Dominion (senior manager, $2 million USD).
Staff comments
1. It is unclear whether ICBC contributed to each tranche. For the time being, AidData has assumed it had, but taken the average of the maturity periods of the tranches {[(1 + 3) / 2] = 2 years) coded it as the maturity period of this record.
