CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., April 10, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CBC Settlement Funding, LLC (“CBC”), a diversified consumer financial services company, is pleased to announce the completion of its seventh private placement note offering on April 7, 2017. These notes are collateralized by payments stemming from rights arising under court ordered structured settlements, court ordered lottery payments, and single premium investment annuities originated by CBC Settlement Funding, LLC. “We’re excited about the continued interest from our investor base in our structured settlement and annuity receivables,” stated CBC Settlement Funding, LLC President, Michael Aiello. “The strong demand and interest for the offering is evidence of rising confidence in the credit quality of annuity issuers and the strength of CBC’s strict underwriting criteria.” CBC, through its subsidiary BBRVII, LLC, issued $$18,340,275 of fixed rate asset backed notes with a yield of 5.00%. Chief Financial Officer Craig Millman noted: “We are very pleased with the execution of this placement, especially given the rising interest rate environment that we are experiencing today. The investor community was very receptive to our offering and this placement continues to demonstrate the fact that our financial platform is consistent and solid and investors continue to have an appetite for the structured settlement asset class.” ABOUT STRUCTURED SETTLEMENTS Structured settlements are commonly used in the settlement of personal injury lawsuits to spread payouts over 10, 20 or 30 years. The secondary market for structured settlement annuity transfers is a highly-regulated marketplace offering clients liquidity options for otherwise inflexible assets. In 2002, Congress passed IRC 5891 affirming the tax benefits of structured settlements but requiring compliance with all applicable state or federal laws. Today, 49 states have enacted structured settlement protection acts requiring court review and approval of each structured settlement transfer. ABOUT CBC SETTLEMENT FUNDING, LLC.
