Kroll Bond Rating Agency Assigns Preliminary Ratings to Kabbage Asset Securitization LLC, Series 2017-1Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to four classes of notes (the "Notes") issued by Kabbage Asset Securitization LLC. This transaction is Kabbage, Inc.'s ("Kabbage" or the "Company") second securitization and it is expected that the proceeds of the sale of the Notes will be used to refinance the Company's existing securitization. Founded in 2009, Kabbage is a financial technology company that uses its proprietary risk scoring models, transactional data, technology systems and platform to provide fully automated, online access to business loans for small- and medium-sized businesses. The Kabbage business loan program is offered via Kabbage's automated loan application, underwriting and servicing platform, www.kabbage.com. The Notes will be secured by a revolving pool of receivables consisting of (i) business loans or (ii) merchant cash advances. The transaction benefits from sufficient credit enhancement comprised of overcollateralization, subordination of the junior classes of Notes, a reserve account and excess spread, as well as a dynamic structure that accelerates principal payments on the Notes in the event of weak performance. The transaction features a 36-month revolving period during which time principal collections may be reinvested to purchase additional receivables, based on certain eligibility requirements. KBRA analyzed the transaction using KBRA's General Rating Methodology for Asset-Backed Securities published on July 30, 2012. For complete details on the analysis, please see KBRA's Pre-Sale Report, Kabbage Asset Securitization LLC, which was published today at www.kbra.com.
