 <\/p>\n

Based on a methodology developed in 2020 the Credit Rating Agency of ICAP CRIF RATINGS rates Notes of Asset Backed Securities, including Securitizations of Performing or non-Performing Credit Exposures and Securitizations of Trade Credit Receivables, granted either to legal entities or natural persons, at European level. The service is specialized depending on the type of receivables, covering the whole range of credit (Secured or Unsecured, Consumer Loans, Mortgage Loans, Corporate Loans, Leasing, etc.).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The rating reflects the level of confidence that the instrument will fulfill its contractual obligations, fully and on time. To determine this level of confidence, ICAP CRIF RATINGS has developed a methodological approach that combines both quantitative and qualitative factors, which capture the risk characteristics of the underlying asset portfolio, the transaction structure, the legal risks, the counterparty risks, as well as the performance of the Servicer and all parties involved. ICAP CRIF RATINGS\u2019s methodology for estimating expected losses (EL) is based on an innovative generalization of the Vasicek credit loss distribution, in order to determine in detail, the probability of extreme loss events, estimating recovery rates and considering both microeconomic and macroeconomic factors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The\u00a0rating scale<\/a><\/b>\u00a0<\/b>of Structured Finance Instruments Ratings is nine-grade with intermediate categories (notching).<\/p>\n
