MOODY'S DOWNGRADES OR CONFIRMS RATINGS ON CONSECO FINANCE SUBORDINATE CERTIFICATES

27 Jul 2000
MOODY'S DOWNGRADES OR CONFIRMS RATINGS ON CONSECO FINANCE SUBORDINATE CERTIFICATES

Approximately $2.9 Billion of Asset-Backed Securities Affected

New York, July 27, 2000 -- Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the ratings of 47 subordinate classes from Conseco Finance Corp.'s (formerly known as Green Tree Financial Corporation) manufactured housing, home improvement and home equity deals. In a related action Moody's confirmed the ratings of eighteen subordinated classes and upgraded the rating of one subordinate class. All but one of the affected classes include Conseco Finance Corp.'s manufactured housing, home improvement and home equity classes that rely on a corporate guarantee from the company.

According to Christine Lachnicht, a Moody's vice president-senior analyst, the rating actions were prompted by Moody's announcement on June 30, 2000 that the rating on Conseco Finance Corp.'s long-term senior debt securities had been downgraded to Ba3. Eighteen of the subordinate classes were downgraded to Ba2 from Ba1, one rating notch above the rating of corporate guarantor, Conseco Finance Corp., because performance of the underlying loans and available excess spread was sufficient to support a rating higher than the corporate guaranty. The remaining 29 subordinate classes were downgraded to Ba3 because these deals primarily rely on the corporate guaranty to support the rating.

The complete rating actions are as follows:
