On October 30, 2000 syndicate of nine lenders — including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) — entered into a $300 million USD syndicated loan agreement with the Korea Development Bank (KDB) for unspecified purposes. The facility carried a maturity period of three years. It was priced at 52 basis points (bps) over a six-month LIBOR rate, with front end fees of 39 bps. ICBC acted as an arranger on the facility. In addition to ICBC, the following lenders played the following roles on the deal: Chase Manhattan (now JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) (lead arranger); Barclays Capital ( now Barclays Corporate and Investment Bank) (lead arranger); Industrial Bank of Japan (since merged to become Mizuho Bank) (lead arranger); Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A. (BNP Paribas - BNL) (arranger); Bayerische Landesbank (BayernLB) (arranger); KBC Bank (arranger); Tokyo-Mitsubishi International (subsequently purchased and became MUFG Securities EMEA PLC) (arranger); and WestLB (arranger).

1. The exact contributions of the nine lenders to the syndicate is unknown. For now, AidData has assumed that each lender contributed equally to the $300 million USD facility ( $300,000,000 / 9 = $33,333,333.334 ).
