approximately 4.18%.
The 2018-C transaction has initial credit
enhancement consisting of a cash deposit equal to 1.00% of the
original receivable pool balance and over-collateralization of
4.00%. The final enhancement level requires accelerated
payment of principal on the notes to reach overcollateralization of
the lesser of 6.40% of the original receivable pool balance, or
15.00% of the then outstanding pool balance.
The transaction utilizes a pre-funding
structure, in which CPS sold approximately $168.9 million of
receivables today and plans to sell approximately $71.0 million of
additional receivables during August 2018. This further sale
is intended to provide CPS with long-term financing for receivables
purchased primarily in the month of July. The initial funding
of $168.9 million includes $27.4 million of receivables that were
originally securitized in 2013, the bonds secured by those
receivables having been prepaid by CPS.
The transaction was a private offering of
securities, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any
state securities law. All of such securities having been
sold, this announcement of their sale appears as a matter of record
only.
