Mintos Risk Score updates

The Mintos Risk Score evaluates the risks of investing in Notes on Mintos. It is calculated from 4 subscores assigned to the underlying loans for Loan Portfolio Performance, Loan Servicer Efficiency, Buyback Strength, and Cooperation Structure.

We monitor lending companies on an ongoing basis, and we update the Mintos Risk Score for Notes for each company quarterly. Based on the results and findings, subscores are upgraded or downgraded, which can lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the Mintos Risk Score.

When there are important changes related to specific underlying loans (material improvement or deterioration such as a suspension or default of the loan issuing company), the related subscores and Mintos Risk Score are updated outside of the regular schedule.
