The list draws on 9fin, S&P, PitchBook/LCD, Octus, CreditSights and Bloomberg material, and is limited principally to reported transactions involving debt over US$500m, with selected non-US examples. Classifications are illustrative: many deals combine structures, and the label records the main mechanism reported. The tracker records reported transactions only and does not assess any company’s financial position. Corrections: mclarksonmaciel@cassels.com.
