Along with entering a new credit facility, Dealer Services Corp. of Indiana recently consummated the offering of $252.2 million of asset-backed securities due in 2014.

Company officials explained the securities — issued through DSC Floorplan Master Owner Trust — are composed of $225 million of senior-secured notes and $27.2 million of subordinate-secured notes. They mentioned the $225 million of senior notes achieved a DBRS rating of AAA(sf) and the $27.2 million of subordinate notes achieved a DBRS rating of BBB(sf).

In addition to the asset-backed securities offering, DSC also announced that it entered into a new $290 million revolving credit facility agented by Deutsch Bank.
