KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to CAN Capital Asset Securitization 2024-1

CCAS 2024-1 is the second securitization for the Company, and the first since its acquisition by the entity managed by Varadero Capital L.P. The proceeds of the sale of the Notes will be used to purchase receivables, fund the reserve account and excess funding account, and pay related fees and expenses.

The transaction features a revolving period (the “Revolving Period”), which will end on the earlier of (i) the close of business on May 31, 2027, approximately 36 months after the initial closing date of CCAS 2024-1 and (ii) the date on which a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred.
