Ford Auto Securitization Trust Announces it has Applied to Cease to be a Reporting Issuer in Canada


TORONTO, April 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ford Auto Securitization Trust, a trust administered by Ford Credit Canada Company, (the “Trust”) announced today that it has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”), as principal regulator, for a decision that it has ceased to be a reporting issuer in all provinces of Canada.

As of today’s date, the Trust has thirteen series of asset-backed notes evidencing interests in various pools of receivables consisting of retail conditional sale contracts secured by new and used cars, light trucks and utility vehicles (“Notes”) outstanding (details of which are provided in Schedule “A”), all of which were offered on a private placement basis to eligible investors in Canada and the United States. The Trust no longer has any Notes outstanding that were issued publicly in Canada.

If the requested decision is granted by the OSC, and the conditions in Multilateral Instrument 11-102 – Passport System have been satisfied, the Trust will cease to be a reporting issuer in Ontario and will be deemed to cease to be a reporting issuer in all other provinces of Canada in which it is a reporting issuer (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador) and, as a result, will no longer be required to file financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and other continuous disclosure documents with any provincial securities regulatory authority in Canada.

The Trust will continue to cause to be prepared the monthly investor reports contemplated in each sale and servicing agreement for a series of Notes (each, a “Sale and Servicing Agreement”) and for these reports to continue to be made available in accordance with the terms of each Sale and Servicing Agreement.
