Several banking groups consisted of both a trading and savings bank – these groups have been consolidated. Where necessary, subsidiary banks have been added to their parent. The banking groups, and the period for which risk measures are obtained, are:

Notes: Only those banks marked with a * are included in the options sample. (a) In June 1995, ADV raised a substantial amount of capital through a rights issue. The dramatic rise in the market value of ADV caused the two risk measures to move markedly away from their ‘true’ value in the months affected (June – August 1995). For this reason, these months are excluded from the regression analysis presented in Section 5. (b) In January 1997, STG took-over ADV. The sudden increase in the market value of STG caused the two risk measures to behave abnormally in the months affected (January–March 1997). For this reason, these months are excluded from the regression analysis presented in Section 5.
