DBRS Morningstar Assigns Provisional Rating to Oasis 2020-1 LLC

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) assigned a provisional rating to the following class of notes to be issued by Oasis 2020-1 LLC (the Issuer):

-- $122,000,000 Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes at A (sf)

The rating is based on DBRS Morningstar’s review of the following analytical considerations:
-- Transaction capital structure, proposed ratings, and sufficiency of available credit enhancement.
-- Overcollateralization and a fully funded reserve account provide credit enhancement levels that are commensurate with the rating of the Fixed Rate Asset Backed Notes (the Notes). Credit enhancement levels are sufficient to support DBRS Morningstar-projected expected cumulative loss assumptions under various stress scenarios.
-- The ability of the transaction to withstand stressed cash flow assumptions and repay investors according to the terms under which they have invested. For this transaction, the rating addresses the payment of timely interest and ultimate principal of the Notes by the Legal Final Payment Date.
-- The full-turbo feature included in the transaction provides further protection for the Notes.
-- Oasis Intermediate Holdco, LLC (Oasis) is an experienced originator in the litigation and medical receivable business.
-- DBRS Morningstar’s operational review of Oasis as the originator and servicer. For the purpose of assigning the rating to the transaction, DBRS Morningstar performed an on-site operational risk review of Oasis and deemed them to be an acceptable originator and servicer of litigation and medical receivables for DBRS Morningstar-rated transactions, with an acceptable backup servicer.
-- As of September 2019, Oasis had originated, in aggregate, approximately $860 million of litigation advances and loans and $255 million of medical receivable purchase.
-- The legal structure and presence of legal opinions that address the true sale of the assets to the Issuer, the non-consolidation of the special-purpose vehicle with Oasis, that the trust has a valid first-priority security interest in the assets and consistency with DBRS Morningstar’s Legal Criteria for U.S. Structured Finance.
