FlexiGroup Limited today announced the issue of AUD255m asset-backed securities, supported by a pool of Australian unsecured, retail, “no interest ever” payment plans, originated by Certegy Ezi-Pay Pty Ltd (“Certegy”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FlexiGroup Limited.
This is FlexiGroup’s sixth securitisation under the Flexi ABS program and the fourth securitisation of Certegy receivables, following issuance in June 2011, August 2012 and September 2013.
Tarek Robbiati, FlexiGroup Chief Executive Officer said “This second securitisation of FY14 re-affirms FlexiGroup’s commitment to accessing wholesale capital markets. We are again extremely pleased with the strong investor interest we have received in all classes of rated notes as demonstrated by;
-
94% of notes taken up by non-bank investors;
-
A total of 11 investors participating, including 1 based offshore and 3 new to the program; and
-
Oversubscription in all rated notes.”
This transaction was arranged by National Australia Bank and joint lead managed by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and National Australia Bank.
Six classes of notes rated by Moody’s and Fitch were issued by Perpetual Corporate Trustee Limited in its capacity as trustee of Flexi ABS Trust 2014-1.
The AUD89.25m Class A1 notes have been rated P-1(sf)/ F1+sf, AUD108.37m Class A2 (Aaa(sf)/AAAsf), AUD22.95m Class B notes (Aa2(sf)/AAsf), AUD10.2m Class C (A2(sf)/Asf), AUD7.65m Class D (Baa2(sf)/BBBsf), and AUD3.8m Class E (Ba2(sf)/ BBsf).
