LendingClub Continues Innovating with Levered Certificates backed by Marketplace Loans

LendingClub (NYSE: LC) has issued its “next-generation certificates,” called “Levered Certificates.” These certificates are backed by approximately $100 million of loans originated on the LendingClub platform.

According to a release, LendingClub has structured the offerings to consist of two securities, one equity certificate, and one fixed-rate note. The equity certificate is designed to provide exposure to a pool of unsecured personal loans. The fixed-rate note provides stable term financing over the life of the certificate.

LendingClub states that 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).
