Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On October 24, 2007 the Registrant closed on the issuance of its ninth term note securitization transaction in the amount of $440,455,000. This issuance, which was made to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, has seven different classes of notes. Each class of notes has its own final maturity date (ranging from October 2008 to February 2015), and the effective weighted average interest coupon over the term of the financing will be approximately 5.74%. Each class of notes is assigned one of the following ratings by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Moody's Investors Service, Inc., respectively: A-1+/P-1; AAA/Aaa; AA/Aa2; A/A2; and BBB/Baa2. This financing is recorded as an "on-balance sheet" transaction and is collateralized by certain of the Registrant's direct financing leases and loans. The Registrant issued a press release on October 25, 2007 announcing this closing of this transaction, and a copy of that press release is being furnished as Exhibit 9 9.1 to this report.
