Poseidon ABS Berhad (Poseidon or the Issuer), on 1 December 2023, exercised the option to re-open the First Tranche Medium-Term Notes (First Tranche MTN) under its RM3.5 bil Perpetual Asset-backed MTN Programme. Targeted to be completed by 8 December 2023, the re-opening will see the AA2-rated First Tranche Senior Class A MTN (Senior MTN) increase to RM318 mil from the current RM218 mil (see table below). Concurrent with the re-opening, the Issuer also intends to revise the computation of the servicer fee to be paid in relation to the First Tranche MTN. 

Based on our assessment of the combined receivables portfolio securing the First Tranche MTN and the transaction’s overcollateralisation (OC) as at 27 November 2023, we are of the view that these changes will have no impact on the AA2/Stable rating of the Senior MTN (see our rating update report for details). The said portfolio comprises receivables originated by SeaMoney Capital Malaysia Sdn Bhd (SCM) as the Originator.

RAM Ratings receives compensation for its rating services, normally paid by the issuers of such securities or the rated entity, and sometimes third parties participating in marketing the securities, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, underwriters, etc. The receipt of this compensation has no influence on RAM Ratings’ credit opinions or other analytical processes. In all instances, RAM Ratings is committed to preserving the objectivity, integrity and independence of its ratings. Rating fees are communicated to clients prior to the issuance of rating opinions.
