The move indicates the transaction's rated notes are no longer outstanding, ending formal credit coverage on those classes within the securitisation.Our earlier report on Sunbelt Rentals’ senior unsecured note issuance explained how the company added $1.2 billion of debt while keeping ratings in line with its investment-grade profile.
