This is Octane’s third securitization under its RV/Marine shelf, denoted by the “RVM” ticker. It is the Company’s largest RV and marine securitization to date, bringing its total ABS issuance to more than $5 billion and attracting significant participation from both new and existing investors.

Mizuho acted as lead manager and structuring agent, with ATLAS SP Partners, J.P. Morgan Securities, Truist Securities, and Wells Fargo Securities serving as joint bookrunners and First Citizens Capital Securities serving as co-manager.

“The strong execution of our largest RVM securitization to date reflects the continued expansion and maturation of our RVM program,” said Nicholas Makarov, SVP and Head of Capital Markets at Octane. “We were pleased to see strong demand across the capital structure, including continued support from existing investors and meaningful participation from investors new to Octane and the RVM platform. That breadth of engagement underscores the market’s growing familiarity with our RVM business and confidence in our underwriting, credit performance, and ability to scale responsibly.”

Octane has continued to build significant momentum across its capital markets program and broader business, growing its RV and marine originations by 146% and 125% year over year, respectively, in the first half of 2026. During the same period, the Company surpassed $9 billion in all-time originations and was named ABS Issuer of the Year at the 2026 GlobalCapital US Securitization Awards. The Company continues to execute a diversified capital markets strategy, completing two forward-flow transactions and one whole loan sale this year, representing $2 billion in total commitments.
