Structured Credit
March 18, 2025

DBRS Ratings GmbH (Morningstar DBRS) discontinued its AAA (sf) and AA (high) (sf) credit ratings on the Notes issued by Loan Invest NV/SA. Compartment SME Loan Invest 2017 (Loan Invest 2017), and Loan Invest NV/SA. Compartment SME Loan Invest 2020 (Loan Invest 2020), respectively.

The discontinuation reflects the full repayment of the Notes in both transactions on the 17 March 2024 payment date. Prior to their repayment in full, the outstanding principal balances of the respective Notes were as follows:

Loan Invest 2017: EUR 393,411,043.20
Loan Invest 2020: EUR 1,374,605,400.00

The principal methodology applicable to the credit ratings is "Master European Structured Finance Surveillance Methodology" (4 February 2025) https://dbrs.morningstar.com/research/447080.

In Morningstar DBRS' opinion, a Discontinued-Repaid credit rating action does not warrant the application of the entire principal methodology.
