Bond bookrunners and co-managers come from the cover of each prospectus supplement or term sheet filed with the SEC; loan arrangers and agents from the credit agreement or announcement cited on the record. "As lead" counts bookrunner, arranger and direct lender roles; co-managers and agents are listed on each deal. Lead volume is the full deal size, not a bank's own share, which filings rarely disclose. Many 144A and private deals do not name their banks, so the list is a floor, not a league table.
