Rating Action:

Correction to Text, March 4, 2011 Release: Moody's downgrades Spanish RMBS notes issued by Hipocat 14 and Hipocat 16

08 Mar 2011

Madrid, March 08, 2011 -- Correction to text: Add in 2nd paragraph after "Caixa Catalunya", "now part of Caixa d'Estalvis de Catalunya, Tarragona i Manresa (referred in this press release as "CatalunyaCaixa") which is now rated A3/P-2 on review for possible downgrade). The new entity, CatalunyaCaixa, has been operative since 1 July 2010."

Revised release follows.

Moody's Investors Service announced today that it has downgraded Classes A, B and C issued by Hipocat 14 and all notes issued by Hipocat 16. A detailed list of the rating actions is provided at the end of this press release.

In June 2009 Moody's placed the ratings of all notes issued by Hipocat 14 and Hipocat 16 on review for possible downgrade following the rating action on Caixa Catalunya, now part of Caixa d'Estalvis de Catalunya, Tarragona i Manresa (referred in this press release as "CatalunyaCaixa") which is now rated A3/P-2 on review for possible downgrade. The new entity CatalunyaCaixa, has been operative since 1 July 2010.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Today's rating action concludes the review and takes into consideration the exposure to CatalunyaCaixa as well as revised assumptions for the collateral portfolios in both transactions. The downgrades reflects the performance deterioration in the current down cycle, the large exposure to flexible mortgages and Moody's negative sector outlook for Spanish RMBS.

In summer 2010, Moody's noted that the share of written-off loans reported in the Hipocat series managed by Gestión de Activos Titulizados (GaT) had been understated.(For more details, please refer to press release "Moody's placed on review notes in 3 Hipocat Spanish RMBS and updates on deals managed by GaT", published on 11 August 2010). For this review, Moody's received final restated amounts of defaulted loans, as reported in the latest investor reports of the time.

The ratings of the notes take into account the credit quality of the underlying mortgage loan pools, from which Moody's determined the MILAN Aaa Credit Enhancement (MILAN Aaa CE) and the lifetime losses (expected loss), as well as the transaction structure and any legal considerations as assessed in Moody's cash flow analysis. The expected loss and the Milan Aaa CE are the two key parameters used by Moody's to calibrate its loss distribution curve, used in the cash flow model to rate European RMBS transactions.

Portfolio Expected Loss: Moody's has reassessed its lifetime loss expectation for Hipocat 14 and 16, taking into account the collateral performance to date, as well as the current macroeconomic environment in Spain. In December 2011, cumulative write-offs in Hipocat 14 and 16 rose to 0.89% and 0.13%, respectively, of the original pool balance. At the end of December 2010, the share of 90+ day arrears stood at 0.36% of current pool balance in Hipocat 14 and 0.03% in Hipocat 16. The reserve funds are currently at target level. Moody's expects the portfolio credit performance to be under stress, as Spanish unemployment remains elevated. The rating agency believes that the anticipated tightening of Spanish fiscal policies is likely to weigh on the recovery in the Spanish labour market and constrain future Spanish households finances. Moody's also has concerns over the timing and degree of future recoveries in a weaker Spanish housing market. On the basis of Moody's negative sector outlook for Spanish RMBS, the rating agency has updated the portfolio expected loss assumption to 2.10% of original pool balance in Hipocat 14 and Hipocat 16, up from 1.1%.

MILAN Aaa CE: Moody's has assessed the loan-by-loan information for Hipocat 14 and Hipocat 16 to determine the MILAN Aaa CE. Moody's has increased its MILAN Aaa CE assumptions for Hipocat 14 to 13.70%, up from 5.20% at closing. The rating agency increased the MILAN Aaa CE for Hipocat 16 to 14.60%, up from 5.90%. The increase in the MILAN Aaa CE reflects the high concentration of flexible loans and high geographical concentration in Catalonia. Both transactions are secured by 100% flexible mortgages. The product in question, called "Crédito Total" offers the possibility of withdrawing additional funds when the loan has amortised below the credit limit (first and subsequent draw-downs will never exceed 80% of the original appraisal value) subject to specific conditions. These type of flexible loans are riskier than traditional mortgage loans because as the mortgage loans amortise, the debtor has the possibility of withdrawing additional funds, so the LTV may increase to the lowest of the initial LTV or 80% .

Operational Risk: The rating of CatalunyaCaixa (A3/P-2) is on review for possible downgrade. CatalunyaCaixa is the servicer in both transactions. Moody's notes that operational risk in these transactions is only partially mitigated as there are no trigger in place to appoint a back-up servicer. The operational risk is not a driver in today's rating action. However a severe downgrade of the servicer into the Baa3/Ba range would impact the ratings of the senior notes.

The rating addresses the expected loss posed to investors by the legal final maturity of the notes. In Moody's opinion, the structure allows for timely payment of interest and principal with respect of the notes by the legal final maturity. Moody's ratings only address the credit risk associated with the transaction. Other non-credit risks have not been addressed, but may have a significant effect on yield to investors.

TRANSACTION FEATURES

Hipocat 14 and Hipocat 16 closed in March 2005 and June 2008, respectively. The transactions are backed by portfolios of first-ranking mortgage loans originated by CatalunyaCaixa, and secured by residential properties located in Spain. Their overall balance at closing is EUR909 million and EUR1.0 billion, respectively. Moody's has been informed that the servicing of CatalunyaCaixa's mortgage portfolio will remain on CatalunyaCaixa's servicing platform.

Hipocat 14 consists exclusively of securitisation of additional drawdowns of CatalunyaCaixa flexible mortgage loan (after the initial drawdown, any additional drawdown not necessarily the second in order of origination date). The product, named Crédito Total offers the possibility of withdrawing additional funds up to the minimum of the original loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, or 80% LTV. Hipocat 16 also securitises flexible mortgages (first drawdown and further drawdowns). As of January 2011, the weighted average current LTV in Hipocat 14 is 39% and 49% in Hipocat 16%. The pool concentration in Catalonia represented 85% and 59% of the current pool balance in Hipocat 14 and Hipocat 16, respectively. Currently, 2.91% of the portfolio balance in Hipocat 14 and 0.97% in Hipocat 16 corresponds to loans granted to non-Spanish nationals.

For details on the deal structure, please refer to the Hipocat 14 and Hipocat 16 new issue reports. Both reports are available on www.moodys.com.

Some features in the deals have changed since closing:

Hedging agreement: CatalunyaCaixa has amended the swap agreements to achieve substantial compliance with the requirements described in Moody's report titled "the Framework for De-linking Hedge Counterparty Risks from Global Structured Finance Cashflow Transactions."These amendments included the insertion of provisions to: (i) regulate the collateral arrangements (by way of a market-standard "CSA"); and (ii) requirements for CatalunyaCaixa to take steps to find a replacement counterparty or guarantor upon the downgrade of its ratings below A3/P-2.

Treasury Bank Accounts: For both transactions, collections are paid to CatalunyaCaixa (A3/P-2, on review for possible downgrade) and then transferred every 24 to 48 hours to the treasury account. CatalunyaCaixa has been replaced as the treasury account bank by Banco Español de Crédito S.A (Aa3/P-1, on review for possible downgrade) in Hipocat 14 and by Banco Sabadell S.A. (A2/P-1 on review for possible downgrade) in Hipocat 16.

Paying Agents: CatalunyaCaixa (A3/P-2 on review for possible downgrade) in Hipocat 14 and 16. Caixa Catalunya was downgraded on 15 June 2009 from A2/P-1 to A3/P-2. CatalunyaCaixa has been replaced as the paying agent by Banco Español de Crédito S.A (Aa3/P-1 on review for possible downgrade) in Hipocat 14 and by Banco Sabadell S.A. (A2/P-1 on review for possible downgrade) in Hipocat 16.

Reserve fund: The reserve funds in both deals are currently at target level.

The principal methodologies used in this rating were Moody's MILAN Methodology for Rating Spanish RMBS published in July 2008, and Revising Default/Loss Assumptions Over the Life of an ABS/RMBS Transaction published in December 2008.

Please also refer to the "Spanish RMBS September 2010 Indices", which is available on www.moodys.com in the Industry / Sector Research sub-directory under the Research & Ratings tab.
