2705.1 Regulation AB - Background - Regulation AB is the source of various disclosure items and requirements for "asset-backed securities" filings under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. "Asset-backed security" is defined in S-K 1101(c)(1) as a security that is primarily serviced by cash flows of a discrete pool of receivables or other financial assets, either fixed or revolving, that by their terms convert into cash within a finite time period, plus any rights or other assets designed to assure the servicing or timely distributions of proceeds to the security holders; provided that in the case of financial assets that are leases, those assets may convert to cash partially by the cash proceeds from the disposition of physical property underlying such leases. The definition of "asset-backed security" has a number of additional conditions listed at S-K 1101(c)(2) which must be met in order for a security to be considered an "asset-backed security."
