DBRS Discontinues Ratings on Auto ABS2 Compartiment 2013-A
AutoDBRS Ratings Limited (DBRS) discontinued its ratings on the Class A and Class B Notes (together, the Notes) issued by Auto ABS2 Compartiment 2013-A.
The discontinuations reflect the payment in full of the Notes on the payment date on 30 October 2017.
The remaining balances and ratings of the Notes before the payment were as follows:
-- EUR 10,028,716.20 Class A Notes rated AAA (sf);
-- EUR 1,971,945.30 Class B Notes rated AA (sf).
Notes:
All figures are in euros unless otherwise noted.
The principal methodology applicable to the ratings is: “Master European Structured Finance Surveillance Methodology”.
In DBRS’s opinion, a discontinued-repaid rating action does not warrant the application of the entire principal methodology, as the bond has been repaid in full.
Other methodologies referenced in this transaction are listed at the end of this press release.
