Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 28, 2011, the Registrant’s consolidated subsidiary, LEAF Commercial Capital, Inc. (“LCC”), completed a $105,000,000 term securitization. Pursuant to the securitization, LEAF Receivables Funding 7, LLC, a newly formed subsidiary of LCC, issued eight classes of notes. The notes are asset-backed debt, secured and payable by certain assets of LEAF Receivables Funding 7, LLC. The notes are governed by an Indenture dated as of September 7, 2011 between LEAF Receivables Funding 7, LLC and U.S. Bank National Association in its capacity as trustee and custodian.
The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The offering of securities was made to Guggenheim Securities, LLC, as initial purchaser, pursuant to a private placement. The initial purchaser sold or offered the securities within the United States to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.
The notes included eight fixed rate classes of notes, rated by both DBRS, Inc. and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. The initial amount of the note balance, the interest rate, the maturity date and the rating from each of DBRS and Moody’s for each class of notes are as follows:
