SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC), America's largest online lending marketplace connecting borrowers and investors, has issued to investors its next generation certificates, called Levered Certificates, backed by over $100 million of LendingClub marketplace loans.
This structure consisted of two securities, one equity certificate and one fixed-rate note. The equity certificate provided exposure to a pool of unsecured personal loans. The fixed-rate note provided stable term financing over the life of the certificate. Both the certificate and the note trade in the over-the-counter market with CUSIPs and are cleared through the Depository Trust and Clearing Company (DTCC).
"We continue to innovate on products and structures to enable more investors to participate in our marketplace and gain access to consumer credit," said Valerie Kay, Chief Capital Officer of LendingClub. "We expect our structured program innovation to further improve LendingClub's balance sheet efficiency and reduce administration costs."
Levered Certificates are the latest addition to LendingClub's structured programs. In the first quarter of 2019, LendingClub facilitated $2.7 billion worth of loans supported by capital provided by some of the largest fixed income managers in the world, and almost 40 percent of these loans were sold through its structured programs which also includes CLUB Certificates.
LendingClub's Levered Certificates can be seen on dv01, Bloomberg and Intex with the "LCRT" ticker.
