DBRS Discontinues Rating on Series A Notes Issued by BBVA Consumo 6, F.T.A.

DBRS Ratings Limited (DBRS) discontinued its rating on the Series A notes issued by BBVA Consumo 6, F.T.A. (the Issuer).

The discontinuation reflects the full repayment of the Series A notes on the 23 April 2019 payment date. Prior to the repayment, the Series A notes were rated at A (high) (sf) and had an outstanding principal balance of EUR 5,231,299.50.

DBRS continues to rate the Series B notes in the same transaction. Please refer to www.dbrs.com for more information.

Notes:
All figures are in euros unless otherwise noted.

The principal methodology applicable to the rating 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.
