Commercial Credit Group (CCG), an independent commercial equipment finance company, finalized a $513.77 million term asset-backed security (ABS) transaction. The securitization was placed with a diverse group of institutional fixed income investors. Bank of America Securities served as structuring agent and lead bookrunner for the placement.

The transaction is comprised of five classes of notes which carry the following ratings:
