Crédit Agricole CIB closes the first Green Loan for Trinity, who becomes the first railcar lessor in North America to issue a Green Loan

Crédit Agricole CIB is Green Loan Coordinator for Trinity Industries Leasing Company's ("TILC") first Green Loan.

On February 8, 2021, Crédit Agricole CIB, acting as Green Loan Coordinator, closed the Green Loan amendment of the non-recourse senior secured term loan for Trinity Rail Leasing 2017 LLC ("TRL 2017"). The facility was initially a $663MM 7-year non-recourse senior secured term loan dated November 2018 and has been upsized by $225MM in July 2020. TRL 2017 is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity Industries Leasing Company, which is ultimately wholly-owned by Trinity Industries, Inc. This is the first Green Loan issued by TILC following the publication of its Green Financing Framework and the first Green Loan for a railcar lessor in North America.

Earlier this year, Crédit Agricole CIB acted as Green Structuring Advisor for TILC which published its Green Financing Framework on January 25, 2021. The Green Financing Framework enables TILC to issue Green Financing Instruments, including green non-recourse ABS bonds and Green Loans, supported by Green Eligible Assets. TILC's term loan issued by TRL 2017 is aligned with TILC's Green Financing Framework.
