The amendment to the securitization facility implemented a fully funded $120 million “first-in, last-out” tranche, provided by various entities advised by affiliates of Centerbridge Partners, L.P., and retained a revolving tranche provided by the existing lender, PNC Bank, for the remaining amount.
