Egypt’s leasing and asset finance
company Corplease completed Egypt’s first lease-backed
securitisation via its SPV, the Egyptian Securitisation Company
(ESC). ESC issued bonds – rated ‘AA’ by the local arm of Moody’s –
for £33.6m, which was also backed by a portfolio of 516 lease
contracts. Excess contracts and bank guarantees, acted for by
Egypt’s Commercial International Bank (CIB) and HSBC, provided
credit enhancement for the securitisation. The bonds carry a fixed
coupon of 9.75 per cent payable monthly and have an average life of
slightly more than two years.
