The weighted average fixed coupon is 1.37%, which represents a weighted average credit spread of 0.57% over benchmark rates for the five classes of notes. The securitization had a net advance rate of 92.4%.

This transaction represents the second equipment securitization issued by CIT Bank.

Barclays, Credit Suisse, and BofA Merrill Lynch served as joint bookrunners on the transaction. Deutsche Bank Securities and J. P. Morgan served as co-managers on the transaction.
