PARAGON COMPLETES BUY-TO-LET SECURITISATION AT RECORD PRICING IN LINE WITH PRIME
DEALS
The Paragon Group of Companies PLC has today completed its 52nd securitisation
for a total amount of £1.5 billion, its first buy-to-let only transaction of
2007. The completion of Paragon Mortgages (No.14) PLC brings total issuance by
the Group to £18.5 billion.
Nick Keen, finance director said: 'This deal achieves record pricing in line
with prime owner-occupied mortgage securitisations. Bond investors in the UK,
Europe and the US appreciate the excellent credit profile of UK buy-to-let
assets originated by Paragon which is reflected in the improved funding costs.'
PM14 notes were issued in three tranches, rated by Standard & Poor's, Moody's
and Fitch and were offered in Sterling, Euros and US Dollars.
The details of the transaction are as follows:
• The £1,500,000,000 (sterling equivalent) of Notes are issued by Paragon
Mortgages (No.14) PLC in 8 classes and in three currencies.
