The AA through BB-rated private offering was evaluated by a top U.S. ratings agency focused on nonprime auto finance and received strong interest from select large institutional investors.<br \/>\u201cThe validation we received from investors and ratings agencies alike reflects the strength of our underlying auto receivables portfolio, the underwriting diligence that has driven the development of the Arra platform since launch and the quality of our high touch servicing for over $700 million in auto receivables,\u201d Lackowski said. \u201cWe are already looking forward to a more widely syndicated issuance as we continue scaling our operations and bringing attractive opportunities to market.\u201d<br \/>Kenn Wardle, CEO of Arra Finance, added, \u201cThis is a true landmark moment for Arra. This achievement directly reflects our team\u2019s cross-platform efforts to grow our portfolio, consistently deliver quality pricing to dealers and consumers and implement sound servicing practices that maintain long-term performance. With strong momentum, we look forward to capitalizing on the opportunities ahead.\u201d<br \/>Blair Wallace, president and CEO of Obra Capital, said, \u201cObra is pleased to have one of its managed funds co-sponsor Arra\u2019s first auto ABS issuance. Arra continues to demonstrate market leadership in nonprime auto finance, and we believe it is well-positioned to continue creating long-term value for its partners and investors as it enters this next stage of business development.\u201d<br \/><span id=\"email-notes\">Your email address will not be published.<\/span> <span class=\"required-field-message\">Required fields are marked <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/span><br \/><label for=\"comment\">Comment <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/label> <textarea id=\"comment\" name=\"comment\" cols=\"45\" rows=\"8\" maxlength=\"65525\" required=\"required\"><\/textarea><br \/><label for=\"author\">Name <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/label> <input id=\"author\" name=\"author\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"245\" autocomplete=\"name\" required=\"required\" \/><br \/><label for=\"email\">Email <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/label> <input id=\"email\" name=\"email\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"100\" aria-describedby=\"email-notes\" autocomplete=\"email\" required=\"required\" \/><br \/><label for=\"url\">Website<\/label> <input id=\"url\" name=\"url\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"200\" autocomplete=\"url\" \/><br \/><input id=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" name=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"yes\" \/> <label for=\"wp-comment-cookies-consent\">Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.<\/label><br \/><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" class=\"submit\" value=\"Post Comment\" \/> <input type='hidden' name='comment_post_ID' value='174205' id='comment_post_ID' \/> <input type='hidden' name='comment_parent' id='comment_parent' value='0' \/> <br \/>For over 50 years, the brands of RAM Holdings have been a leader in commercial finance industry publishing, events, talent development, and research. <br \/>The daily driver for equipment finance industry executives for over 50 years.
