Announcement:

Moody's ABCP rating activities ending April 27, 2015

30 Apr 2015

New York, April 30, 2015 -- Moody's ABCP rating activities for the seven day period ending April 27, 2015

NO RATING IMPACT ON THE FOLLOWING ABCP PROGRAMS DURING THE PERIOD APRIL 21, 2015 THROUGH APRIL 27, 2015:

Moody's has reviewed the following ABCP programs in conjunction with the proposed additions and amendments, as applicable. At this time the additions and amendments, in and of themselves, will not result in any rating impact on their respective program. Moody's does not believe they will have an adverse effect on the credit quality of the securities such that the Moody's ratings are impacted. Moody's does not express an opinion as to whether the additions and amendments could have other, non-credit-related effects.

SYNDICATE OF ABCP CONDUITS AMEND INTEREST IN AN AUTO SECURITIZATION

Amendments were made to an existing auto securitization facility established for a non-investment-grade-rated financial services firm in the automotive industry. The facility was increased by $1 billion to $12.5 billion, and consists of two separate SPVs: a $4.5 billion facility and an $8.0 billion facility. Each SPV issues unrated variable funding notes (VFNs). The underlying collateral include auto loans, auto leases and auto dealer floorplan receivables originated by two different asset originators. Participating conduits and banks have a pro-rata share in the VFNs issued by each SPV. The VFNs benefit from their own transaction-specific credit enhancement. Liquidity fully supports all assets funded through the conduits.

The following ABCP conduits participate in the securitization:

JPMorgan's Chariot Funding LLC and Jupiter Securitization Company LLC have combined commitments totaling $1.225 billion.

Citibank's CAFCO, LLC, CHARTA, LLC, CIESCO, LLC, and CRC Funding, LLC, have combined purchase commitments of $1.225 billion.

Barclays Bank PLC's Salisbury Receivables Company, LLC has a $1.1 billion commitment.

Credit Agricole CIB's Atlantic Asset Securitization, LLC has an $900 million commitment.

Royal Bank of Canada's Old Line Funding, LLC and Thunder Bay Funding, LLC have combined commitments of $900 million.

Scotiabank's Liberty Street Funding, LLC has a $775 million commitment.

Société Générale's Barton Capital, LLC has a $775 million commitment.

Lloyds' Cancara Asset Securitisation Limited has a $725 million commitment.

Bank of Montreal's Fairway Finance Company, LLC has a $350 million commitment.

The remaining commitments are from non-conduit purchasers or non-Moody's rated conduits.

SOCIETE GENERALE'S BARTON RENEWS INTEREST IN EXISTING SYNDICATED AUTO SECURITIZATION

Barton Capital, LLC ("Barton"), a partially supported, multiseller ABCP program sponsored and administered by Societe Generale ("SG," rated A2/Prime-1), has renewed its $200 million interest in an existing $3.0 billion syndicated auto securitization established for an investment grade-rated automotive manufacturer. The securitization is comprised of a revolving auto loan facility and a revolving auto lease facility. The participating conduits hold two Aaa (sf)-rated variable funding notes (VFNs), one collateralized by retail installment contracts and the related vehicles (auto loans); and the other collateralized by retail auto lease contracts and the related leased vehicles (auto leases).

The VFN collateralized by auto loans benefits from transaction-specific credit enhancement in the form of overcollateralization (with a floor of 3.5% of the highest principal balance since the last securitization take-out date), a 0.50% reserve account, and excess spread. The VFN collateralized by auto leases benefits from transaction-specific credit enhancement in the form of overcollateralization (with a floor of 20% of the securitization value of the residual amount), a 0.50% reserve account, and excess spread (minimum of 2.50%).

The transaction remains partially supported by a liquidity facility provided by Prime-1 SG.

Barton has $6.3 billion of purchase commitments and its program-level credit enhancement remains at the $500 million floor.

NEW RENTAL CAR TERM ISSUANCE HAS NO IMPACT TO BMO, RBC AND SCOTIABANK'S ABCP PROGRAMS

Canadian Master Trust ("CMT"), Plaza Trust ("Plaza"), and Bay Street Funding Trust ("BSFT" together with CMT and Plaza, the "Conduits"), are three partially supported, multiseller Canadian ABCP programs sponsored and administered, respectively, by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., a subsidiary of Bank of Montreal ("BMO" rated Aa3/Prime-1), Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC," rated Aa3/Prime-1), and Scotiabank (rated Aa2/Prime-1). The Conduits fund an existing unrated CAD450 million variable funding note (VFN) backed by a fleet of rental cars for a non-investment grade rental car company ("Conduit Transaction"). Each Conduit has a CAD150 million interest in the VFN.

The VFN issuer has completed a new term note issuance. The new issuance does not impact the rating of the ABCP issued by each Conduit to fund its obligations under the Conduit Transaction.

The Conduit Transaction remains partially supported by a liquidity facility provided by Prime-1 BMO, RBC, and Scotiabank in support of their respective Conduit.

Plaza's program-level credit enhancement is required to be increased by 10% of aggregate investments. Plaza has approximately CAD1.97 billion of outstandings and its program-level credit enhancement is approximately CAD200 million.

CMT has approximately CAD1.47 billion of outstandings and purchase limits of CAD2.3 billion.

BSFT has approximately CAD1.4 billion of outstandings and purchase limits of CAD2.2 billion.

CIBC'S SOUND TRUST AMENDS INTEREST IN EXISTING EQUIPMENT LOAN AND LEASE FACILITY

SOUND Trust ("SOUND"), a partially supported, multiseller Canadian ABCP program sponsored and administered by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC," rated Aa3/Prime-1), has amended its interest in an existing CAD250 million equipment loan and lease securitization. The collateral is comprised of leases and loans originated by a non-investment grade rated leasing company. The securitization is structured as a two-year revolving facility and has been in SOUND's portfolio since March 2013. SOUND is an uncommitted purchaser and its commitment is in the form of an unrated note issued out of an existing trust.

The amendments include extending the revolving facility's expiration date to March 2017 and amending SOUND's commitment to include a one-time increase to CAD400 million. The transaction-specific credit enhancement remains unchanged and is comprised of a 2% cash account, overcollateralization sized at 7.25% of the highest pool balance, and minimum excess spread of 4.25%. This transaction remains partially supported by a liquidity facility provided by Prime-1 CIBC.

SOUND has CAD2.5 billion in aggregate purchase commitments and CAD1.5 billion in outstanding Series 1998-1 Senior Short Term Notes.

RBC'S PLAZA TRUST AMENDS TWO FACILITIES BACKED BY CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES AND TRADE RECEIVABLES

Plaza Trust ("Plaza"), a partially supported, multiseller ABCP program sponsored and administered by Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC," rated Aa3/Prime-1), has amended an existing CAD500 million commitment in a credit card receivables facility for an unrated financial institution company and an existing CAD110 million trade receivables facility.

For the credit card receivables facility, an amendment was made to remove certain accounts pursuant to the transaction's documents. Transaction-specific credit enhancement is comprised of a 9% letter of credit and excess spread.

For the trade receivables facility, the deal was renewed and the commitment date was extended. Additionally, minor amendments were made that were credit neutral. Transaction-specific credit enhancement is in the form of dynamic overcollateralization sized based on historical defaults.

Each transaction remains partially supported by a liquidity facility provided by Prime-1 RBC.

Plaza's program-level credit enhancement is required to be increased by 10% of aggregate investments. Plaza has approximately CAD1.97 billion of outstandings and its program-level credit enhancement is approximately CAD200 million.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Moody's Approach to Rating Asset-Backed Commercial Paper" published in March 2015. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

Moody's monitors and analyzes ABCP programs on an ongoing basis. A detailed description of each program is published in the ABCP Program Review. Some ABCP programs have updated performance information, which is published quarterly in the Performance Overviews. All publications are available on www.moodys.com.

This publication does not announce a credit rating action. For any credit ratings referenced in this publication, please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on www.moodys.com for the most updated credit rating action information and rating history.

MCO and MIS also maintain policies and procedures to address the independence of MIS’s ratings and rating processes. Information regarding certain affiliations that may exist between directors of MCO and rated entities, and between entities who hold ratings from MIS and have also publicly reported to the SEC an ownership interest in MCO of more than 5%, is posted annually at www.moodys.com under the heading “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance — Director and Shareholder Affiliation Policy.”

Additional terms for Australia only: Any publication into Australia of this document is pursuant to the Australian Financial Services License of MOODY’S affiliate, Moody’s Investors Service Pty Limited ABN 61 003 399 657AFSL 336969 and/or Moody’s Analytics Australia Pty Ltd ABN 94 105 136 972 AFSL 383569 (as applicable). This document is intended to be provided only to “wholesale clients” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001. By continuing to access this document from within Australia, you represent to MOODY’S that you are, or are accessing the document as a representative of, a “wholesale client” and that neither you nor the entity you represent will directly or indirectly disseminate this document or its contents to “retail clients” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001. MOODY’S credit rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a debt obligation of the issuer, not on the equity securities of the issuer or any form of security that is available to retail investors.

Additional terms for Japan only: Moody's Japan K.K. (“MJKK”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of Moody's Group Japan G.K., which is wholly-owned by Moody’s Overseas Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCO. Moody’s SF Japan K.K. (“MSFJ”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of MJKK. MSFJ is not a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). Therefore, credit ratings assigned by MSFJ are Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings. Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings are assigned by an entity that is not a NRSRO and, consequently, the rated obligation will not qualify for certain types of treatment under U.S. laws. MJKK and MSFJ are credit rating agencies registered with the Japan Financial Services Agency and their registration numbers are FSA Commissioner (Ratings) No. 2 and 3 respectively.

MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) hereby disclose that most issuers of debt securities (including corporate and municipal bonds, debentures, notes and commercial paper) and preferred stock rated by MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) have, prior to assignment of any rating, agreed to pay to MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) for ratings opinions and services rendered by it fees ranging from JPY125,000 to approximately JPY250,000,000.

MJKK and MSFJ also maintain policies and procedures to address Japanese regulatory requirements.
