On or around December 19, 2005, a syndicate of seven lenders — including the Hong Kong Branch of the Bank of China (BOC) — entered into a $100 million USD loan agreement with the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives — a Korean fishing industry advocacy organization — for unspecified purposes. The loan carried a maturity period of three years and carried an all-in interest rate of 33 basis points (bps) over LIBOR. BOC (Hong Kong) acted as an arranger on and contributed $10 million USD to the facility. In addition to BOC, the following lenders played these roles and contributed the following amounts: Standard Chartered Bank (co-ordinating arranger, $27.5 million USD); Mizuho Corporate Bank (co-ordinating arranger, $27.5 million USD); DZ Bank (Hong Kong) (arranger, $15 million USD); Bayerische Landesbank (BayernLB) (arranger, $10 million USD); Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) (Hong Kong Branch) (co-arranger, $5 million USD); and Kommunalkredit International Bank (co-arranger, $5 million USD).
