CREDIT RATING EXEMPTION

MCF is exempt from the requirement to have its creditworthiness assessed by an approved rating agency. MCF is not rated because it is operating under an exemption granted pursuant to the Non-bank Deposit Takers (Credit Ratings Minimum Threshold) Exemption Notice 2016 which recognises that it is unduly onerous for companies the size of MCF to have a credit rating. The Credit Rating Exemption Notice applies because:

MCF’s liabilities are $20 million or more but less than $40 million, making it unduly onerous for MCF to comply with the requirement to have a credit rating; and

MCF maintains a capital ratio of at least 12%.

The Credit Rating Exemption Notice means that MCF has not received an independent opinion of its capability and willingness to repay its debt from an approved source.
