DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) took rating actions on 77 outstanding ratings from 23 SoFi Professional Loan Program transactions. Of the rated classes reviewed, 26 were upgraded, four were discontinued due to repayment and 47 were confirmed. Performance and revised loss expectations for the reviewed securities are such that credit enhancement levels are sufficient to cover DBRS Morningstar’s loss expectations at their respective rating levels.

The ratings are based on DBRS Morningstar’s review of the following analytical considerations:

-- Transaction capital structure, current ratings and form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement.
-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to origination, underwriting and servicing.
-- The credit quality of the collateral pool and historical performance.
