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 Issuer expects to issue three note classes from Series 2026-2. KBRA\u2019s rating analysis incorporates all prior debt issuance of the Issuer. In conjunction with the issuance of Series 2026-2, KBRA anticipates affirming the ratings on the outstanding notes (the Existing Notes and, together with Series 2026-2, the Notes).<\/p><p>\nTo access ratings and relevant documents, click <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kbra.com%2Ftransaction%2F68828%2Fratings&amp;esheet=54545574&amp;newsitemid=20260601031722&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=1&amp;md5=a229b76d3007452054e27735ed1bfe11\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">here<\/a>.<\/p><p>\nClick <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kbra.com%2Fpublications%2FZbYXLvqc%2Fkinetic-abs-issuer-llc-series-2026-2-pre-sale-report%3F&amp;esheet=54545574&amp;newsitemid=20260601031722&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=2&amp;md5=3b01fcf11a73cb00cfd60e56ab4e65d1\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">here<\/a> to view the report.<\/p><p>\n<strong>Methodologies<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"bwlistsquare\">\n<li>\n<a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kbra.com%2Fpublications%2FZYrdNsBK&amp;esheet=54545574&amp;newsitemid=20260601031722&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=ABS%3A+Communications+Infrastructure+Securitization+%28CIS%29+Global+Rating+Methodology&amp;index=3&amp;md5=fad6438a22a5b7933528a3526ab5bd55\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">ABS: Communications Infrastructure Securitization (CIS) Global Rating Methodology<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\n<a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kbra.com%2Fpublications%2FRjVgkPtk&amp;esheet=54545574&amp;newsitemid=20260601031722&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Structured+Finance%3A+Global+Structured+Finance+Counterparty+Methodology&amp;index=4&amp;md5=81f8e53691118be1b9ce147e60a4ea20\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">Structured Finance: Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<strong>Disclosures<\/strong><\/p><p>\nFurther information on key credit considerations, sensitivity analyses that consider what factors can affect these credit ratings and how they could lead to an upgrade or a downgrade, and <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kbra.com%2Fpublications%2FJZRHwTBd%2F&amp;esheet=54545574&amp;newsitemid=20260601031722&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=ESG+factors&amp;index=5&amp;md5=5692c142567fc06b48dc19443b8846da\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">ESG factors<\/a> (where they are a key driver behind the change to the credit rating or rating outlook) can be found in the full rating report referenced above.<\/p><p>\nA description of all substantially material sources that were used to prepare the credit rating and information on the methodology(ies) (inclusive of any material models and sensitivity analyses of the relevant key rating assumptions, as applicable) used in determining the credit rating is available in the Information Disclosure Form(s) located <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kbra.com%2Ftransaction%2F68828%2Fdisclosures&amp;esheet=54545574&amp;newsitemid=20260601031722&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=6&amp;md5=cb308db79f820bf8d1b3dd124c26b70d\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">here<\/a>.<\/p><p>\nInformation on the meaning of each rating category can be located <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kbra.com%2Funderstanding-ratings%2Frating-scales%2Flong-term-credit-rating&amp;esheet=54545574&amp;newsitemid=20260601031722&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=7&amp;md5=14c22aa2e9facdf7bf166347b02504f5\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">here<\/a>.<\/p><p>\nFurther disclosures relating to this rating action are available in the Information Disclosure Form(s) referenced above.
