7, the interest rate on the ABS issued increases by 1.5% through final maturity in November 2031. The securitization is structured with $300 million of total funding capacity and a feature to allow reinvestment of loan payoffs for the first 24 months of the transaction (through November 2026), unless an amortization event occurs prior to the expiration of the 24-month reinvestment period. Amortization trigger events include, among other events, delinquency rates or default rates exceeding specified thresholds for three consecutive periods, or the effective advance rate exceeding a specified threshold.The actual maturity of each class of ABS issued is primarily determined by the rate of principal prepayments on the assets of the issuing entity. Each series is also subject to redemption prior to the stated maturity according to the terms of the respective governing documents of each ABS issuing entity.

The ABS issued are subject to an optional redemption beginning in January 2026 and have a final stated maturity in May 2055. At issuance, we retained 100% of the remaining beneficial ownership interest in the trust through ownership of a subordinate security issued by the trust. We maintained certain discretionary rights associated with the ownership of this investment that we determined reflected a controlling financial interest in the trust and as such, we consolidated the trust. At March 31, 2025, the collateral for the Sequoia re-securitization trust included $20 million of Sequoia securities we owned from unconsolid
