A floored FRN in which the minimum coupon that is linked to the underlying floating rate (short-term rate, such as LIBOR) has a leverage factor. An example is a FRN that pays:
Min [3.5%, 1.5*LIBOR]
That means the level of the coupon will be determined by the lowest of two factors: the floor and a leveraged economic variables (the leveraged floating rate).
