Wingspire Equipment Finance Completes Second Equipment ABS Issuance

Tustin, California, October 1, 2025 — Wingspire Equipment Finance, a leading large-ticket equipment finance company, announced the successful closing of its second asset-backed securitization (ABS), WEF 2025-1.  The transaction raised over $292 million and included six classes of notes, the uppermost of which received the highest achievable ratings of F1+/K1+ and AAA from Fitch Ratings and Kroll Bond Rating Agency.

The transaction was backed by a diverse portfolio of equipment loans and leases spanning numerous industries. The transaction was more than 6x oversubscribed, reflecting strong investor demand.

Over 20 prominent investors participated in the transaction.
