KBRA Places One Class from Shawnee 1892 LLC on Watch Downgrade
14 Nov 2025 | New York
KBRA has placed the rating of the Class E-RR notes of Shawnee 1892 LLC (“Shawnee 1892”) on Watch Downgrade due to tightening excess interest and par erosion in the transaction.
Shawnee 1892 is a collateralized loan obligation (CLO) managed and serviced by Eldridge Structured Credit Advisors, LLC (“Eldridge” or the “servicer”), formerly known as Panagram Structured Asset Management LLC, which closed in September 2020. KBRA rated the reset notes in December 2022, and the transaction reset for the second time in November 2024. The transaction is static with no active management and no reinvestment period. All principal proceeds are used to repay the rated notes sequentially.
The table below displays the current capital structure and watch placement associated with this review. To date, the securities have received timely interest payments. We anticipate increasing pressure on excess spread as lower cost liabilities amortize, leaving higher cost liabilities outstanding. It is likely that the Shawnee 1892 Class E-RR notes will begin deferring interest in the near term, as the class E overcollateralization test cushion tightens.
The collateral in Shawnee 1892 primarily consists of both middle market and broadly syndicated leveraged loans issued by corporate obligors diversified across sectors.
As of the October 2025 trustee report, the total portfolio par amount is $599.10 million with exposure to 62 obligors. The K-WARF of the portfolio is 3286, increased from 3206 as of 2024 reset, and CCC (%) increased from 14.9% in November 2024 to 21.7%. Based on monthly trustee reporting, the cushion on the class E overcollateralization test has tightened to 1.45% from 4.00% as of 2024 reset.
KBRA will continue to monitor the performance of the transaction and update and/or resolve the Watch Placements within 90 days.
