The transaction was conducted via ROOF Poland Leasing 2014 DAC, a special purpose entity which financed the acquisition of the receivables with issuance of securities worth PLN 1.25 bn (senior tranche of PLN 870m and mezzanine tranche of PLN 383.5m).

The European Investment Bank (EIB) and ING Bank ?l?ski were the investors, while the European Investment Fund (EIF) provided support in the form of a guarantee.

The lessor’s portfolio includes vehicles as well as machinery and equipment.

Romuald Zienkiewicz, executive director of finance at RLPL, said: "This is the next in series of securitisation deals initiated by Raiffeisen-Leasing Polska. The pioneering transaction was concluded in 2006 as the first securitisation of lease receivables in Poland and a standard setter. An attractive portfolio of receivables as well as longstanding experience of RLPL team in organising and servicing similar transactions allowed for structuring a transaction with high ratings and attractive financing costs."
