NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#KBRA–KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to four classes of notes issued by ACC Trust 2022-1 (“ACC 2022-1”), an asset-backed securitization collateralized by a pool of auto leases.
ACC 2022-1 will issue four classes of notes totaling $207.55 million. The primary assets of ACC 2022-1 will consist of the i) SUBI certificate, which represents the beneficial interest in the specified closed-end leases of the titling trust, ii) the specified vehicles and related assets, including the right to receive payments under the leases, iii) the amounts realized from sales of the specified vehicles and iv) amounts in certain trust accounts, including the reserve account.
