Floating-Rate Loan Primer

* Corporate debt issued by below-investment-grade borrowers.

* Most issuers are significant in size and scale - and many are familiar household names.

* Companies undertake loans for recapitalisations, acquisitions and refinancings.

* Coupon income from floating-rate loans resets regularly (about every 40-60 days on average) to maintain a fixed spread over a variable base rate, usually LIBOR.

* Loans are often referred to as "senior and secured": They typically have the highest priority of claims in an issuer's capital structure and are secured by specific collateral.

* Other common monikers: bank loans, leveraged loans, senior loans.
