Liberty Bank Announces $67.5 Million Securitization Alternative and

Charlottesville, VA & Middletown, CT – June 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / Wellington Financial, the exclusive Resort Finance lending correspondent for Liberty Bank, announced the bank’s Resort Finance division and Breckenridge, Colorado-based timeshare developers Breckenridge Grand Vacations (BGV) closed a $67.5MM securitization alternative. In addition, Liberty Bank also closed a forward financing of $12.5MM to Peak 7, LLC and $25MM to Peak 8 Properties, LLC, owners of Grand Lodge on Peak 7 and Grand Colorado on Peak 8, respectively.

“The securitization alternative allowed the developer to reap the benefits that have always attracted timeshare developers to the capital markets, but without the legal, rating agency, and investment banking fees associated with a traditional securitization,” observes Wellington Financial President Ron Goldberg.

“These transactions demonstrate our confidence in the direction of Breckenridge Grand Vacations,” says Liberty Bank Vice President Denise Brewer. “They have strong leadership, a well-organized structure, and offer a great product.”

“We are very glad to have broadened our relationship with Liberty Bank and Wellington Financial,” says Breckenridge Grand Vacations Owner/Developer Mike Millisor. “The bank has been a great supporter of our continuing development and growth. Their executives have taken the time to get to know us and understand our business, making for a solid and progressive relationship.”
