Series 2014-1 will include an interest only period whereby interest will be paid quarterly (Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec) with principal expected to be repaid in full on September 2021. The class A2 notes will experience a 1.0% per annum principal amortization if total leverage exceeds 5.25x. During the Interest only/partial amortization period, class A2 investors are further protected by cash trap events, rapid amortization events, events of default and manager termination events. The most notable of these is the cash trap events which would accumulate cash if the Quarterly DSCR were to decline below 1.75x. Further, if the DSCR were to decline to below 1.3x, a rapid amortization event would occur and all collections would be used to amortize the class A2 notes. o Relative value: This is the fourth whole business securitization to be offered by DineEquity featuring the Applebee's and IHOP brands. The whole business securitization market has evolved over the last 5-7 years with over $14.08 in transaction volume. Considering the quality of the Applebee's and IHOP brands, the projected cash flows, available credit support, the strong legal and cash flow structure, we see an opportunity for yield pick-up with the potential for total return as spreads tighten following a Fed rate increase Recommendation(s): View Trade Deal & Tranche Info Sponsor Ratings Cusip Average Trench.
