California Republic Bank Announces Successful Completion of a $238 Million Prime Automobile Securitization

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- California Republic Bancorp (OTCBB:CRPB), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, California Republic Bank, successfully completed a prime automobile securitization in which $238 million in notes backed by California Republic's automobile loans were sold to qualified institutional buyers in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act.

The securitization structure included four note classes issued by the securitization trust created by the Bank as follows:

C $ 13.1 3.25 % Baa3/BBB
Total $ 238.0

(1) Ratings from Moody's and DBRS, respectively.

 

The Bank also announced that it sold all remaining residual interests in the securitized receivables through a sale of the underlying ownership certificates of the securitization trust through a private placement transaction. California Republic Bank will receive a 1% servicing fee and continue to service the underlying receivables on behalf of the noteholders and certificateholders for the life of the contracts.

"Securitizations are an important aspect of our business model, and we are pleased by the size and overall execution of this deal," commented Jon Wilcox, CEO. President John DeCero added, "By executing these transactions and retaining the servicing of these portfolios, we maximize our profits while creating a path for additional expansion of our platform in a very capital efficient manner."

This announcement of the sale of the notes included in the securitization and the ownership certificates of the securitization trust appears as a matter of record only. Credit Suisse LLC acted as the structuring agent and the sole bookrunner for this transaction, and Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP acted as issuer's counsel.
