Commercial Credit Group Secures $517.9 Million in Asset-Backed Notes

The offering attracted a wide range of institutional fixed-income investors, reflecting continued market appetite for the firm's diversified asset pool. These receivables include loans originated by Commercial Credit Group alongside its affiliate, Keystone Equipment Finance Corp. The company plans to deploy the proceeds to fund new originations and further diversify its capital structure.

Fitch and Moody’s assigned strong investment-grade ratings to the notes, ranging from F-1+/P1 for the $110.8 million Class A-1 tranche to BBB/Baa2 for the $14.8 million Class D notes. Paul Bottiglio, the company's SVP and Chief Financial Officer, attributed the successful issuance to a strategy of disciplined underwriting and consistent execution. Since launching in 2004, the firm has originated nearly $9 billion in equipment financing, solidifying its role as a key lender for small and mid-sized businesses across North America.
