10 Nov 2025   |   New York

Contacts

KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to Series 2025-4 Notes (Fidium 2025-4 or Series 2025-4) from Fidium, LLC and Fidium Fiber Finance Holdco LLC (the Co-Issuers), a communications infrastructure securitization (CIS) that is primarily collateralized by fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks and related contracts.

Fidium 2025-4 represents the second securitization for Fidium, LLC (f/k/a Consolidated Communications, LLC) and Fidium Fiber Finance Holdco LLC (together the Co-Issuers), following the joint issuance of Series 2025-1, 2025-2 and 2025-3. The transaction structure is a master trust and, as such, the indenture permits the issuance of additional classes and series of notes subject to certain conditions including rating agency confirmation. The Co Issuers are issuing three note classes from Series 2025-4. KBRA’s rating analysis incorporates all prior debt issuance of the Co-Issuers. In conjunction with the issuance of Series 2025-4, KBRA anticipates affirming the ratings on the outstanding notes (the Existing Notes and, together with Series 2025-4, the Notes).
