• In order to finance the purchase of the portfolio, SPV issued 5 classes of securities (Senior, Mezzanine and Junior) which, at the time of issue – with the exception of Class A2 and part of Classes B and C purchased from the EIB (European Investment Bank) for a total of €443.6 million – were subscribed by the Originator.
• Class A1 is rated Aa3, AAA and AAA and Class A2 is rated Aa3, AAA and AA by Moody’s, DBRS and Scope, respectively.

• The operation forms part of the ENSI (EIF-NPIs Securitisation Initiative), a “Juncker” platform of cooperation between the EIB, the EIF and the National Promotion Institutions that aims to stimulate access to credit for SMEs via the capital market.
