Moody's ABCP rating activities ending May 29, 2015

04 Jun 2015

New York, June 04, 2015 -- Moody's ABCP rating activities for the week ending May 29, 2015

NO RATING IMPACT ON THE FOLLOWING ABCP PROGRAMS FROM MAY 25, 2015 THROUGH MAY 29, 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 the 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 AUTO LEASE SECURITIZATION

An existing revolving facility established for a non-investment-grade-rated financial services firm in the automotive industry has amended its facility. The facility, which issues unrated notes, is backed by a pool of auto and commercial leases. The facility size was increased $1.5 billion to $4.5 billion.

Transaction specific credit enhancement is in the form of overcollateralization and excess spread. This transaction is fully supported by all of the participating ABCP conduits.

The following ABCP conduits participate in the securitization:

• JPMorgan's Chariot Funding LLC is an existing purchaser with a $450 million commitment. Chariot has $13.3 billion in total purchase commitments, $8.3 billion in outstandings, and $1.0 billion in program-level credit enhancement.

• Barclays Bank's Sheffield Receivables Company LLC is a new purchaser with a $400 million commitment. Sheffield has $11.6 billion in purchase commitments, $8.8 billion in outstandings, and $1.02 billion in program-level credit enhancement.

• BNP Paribas' Starbird Funding Corporation is an existing purchaser with a $400 million commitment. Starbird has $5.4 billion in purchase commitments, $3.0 billion in outstandings, and $430 million in program-level credit enhancement.

• Citibank's CAFCO, LLC, CHARTA, LLC, CIESCO, LLC, and CRC Funding, LLC, are existing purchasers and have combined purchase commitments of $400 million.

CHARTA has $9.9 billion in purchase commitments and $6.0 billion in outstandings, while CRC has $9.0 billion in purchase commitments and $6.1 billion in outstandings. CHARTA and CRC's program-level credit enhancement remain at 10% of outstanding assets

CAFCO has $9.3 billion in purchase commitments and $6.1 billion in outstandings, while CIESCO has $9.1 billion in purchase commitments and $6.1 billion in outstandings. CAFCO and CIESCO's program-level credit enhancement remain at 8% of outstanding assets.

• Credit Agricole CIB's Atlantic Asset Securitization, LLC is an existing purchaser with a $400 million commitment. Atlantic has $9.8 billion in purchase commitments, $6.3 billion in outstandings, and no program-level credit enhancement.

• Royal Bank of Canada's Old Line Funding, LLC is a new purchaser with a $300 million commitment. Old Line Funding has $17.2 billion of purchase commitments and $11.7 billion in outstanding ABCP. Its program-level credit enhancement is $1.6 billion with a $300 million floor.

• Societe Generale's Barton Capital LLC is a new purchaser with a $300 million commitment. Barton has $6.3 billion of purchase commitments, $4.3 billion of outstandings, and its program-level credit enhancement remains at the $500 million floor.

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

BARCLAYS' SHEFFIELD MERGES WITH SALISBURY

Sheffield Receivables Company LLC ("Sheffield"), a partially supported, multiseller ABCP program sponsored and administered by Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays"), has merged with its sister program Salisbury Receivables Company LLC("Salisbury"). All the rights, duties and obligations of Salisbury will be vested in Sheffield.

After the merger Sheffield's purchase limit was $11.6 billion and its outstanding ABCP was $8.8 billion. Its program-level credit enhancement increased to $1.02 billion.

RENTAL CAR FACILITY AMENDED IN BMO'S RIDGE TRUST AND SCOTIABANK'S KING STREET

Ridge Trust ("Ridge") and King Street Funding Trust ("King Street" together with Ridge, the "Conduits"), are two partially supported, multiseller Canadian ABCP programs sponsored by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., a subsidiary of Bank of Montreal ("BMO") and Scotiabank, respectively. The Conduits fund an existing unrated note backed by a fleet of rental cars for a non-investment grade rental car company. An amendment was made to adjust a concentration limit applicable to investment grade manufacturers.

The transaction remains partially supported by a liquidity facility provided by Prime-1(cr)-rated BMO and Prime-1(cr) Scotiabank in support of their respective Conduit.

Ridge Trust has approximately CAD1.7 billion of outstandings and purchase limits of CAD2.5 billion.

King Street has approximately CAD1.3 billion of outstandings and purchase limits of CAD1.7 billion.

CANTOR FITZGERALD'S ISF ADDS A $350 MILLION LIQUIDITY FACILITY

Institutional Secured Funding (Jersey) Limited ("ISF"), a fully supported, multiseller ABCP program sponsored and administered by Cantor Fitzgerald Investment Advisors, L.P., an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ("Cantor Fitzgerald"), has entered into a $350 million facility to finance equipment loan and lease receivables for an unrated company.

Liquidity, provided by the unrated branch of a Prime-1(cr) financial institution, is fully supported, funding for the face amount of ABCP. The reference point used as the input for this support provider is the CR Assessment. Although Moody's does not assign a rating to the branch of the financial institution, Moody's has concluded that the obligations of the branch are consistent with the Prime-1 rating assigned to the short-term notes issued by ISF.

ISF does not have program-wide credit enhancement.

NATIXIS' VERSAILLES ADDS A Aaa(sf) CLO NOTE

Versailles Assets, LLC ("Versailles Assets"), a partially supported, multiseller ABCP conduit sponsored and administered by Natixis, New York Branch ("Natixis", rated (P)A2/Prime-1), has added a $20 million interest in a Aaa(sf)-rated CLO note to its portfolio.

Versailles Assets will finance this note by issuing Prime-1(sf)-rated ABCP to Versailles Commercial Paper, LLC. Versailles Commercial Paper, in turn, will issue Prime-1(sf)-rated ABCP to investors in the capital market to purchase the Versailles Assets ABCP. The liquidity support is at the Versailles Assets level, and covers any timing mismatch, or liquidity risk, between the underlying notes and the ABCP issued to Versailles Commercial Paper. The program-level credit enhancement is at the Versailles Commercial Paper level.

The transactions is fully supported by a liquidity facility provided by Prime-1-rated Natixis.

Given the high credit quality of the CLO note, Versailles' is not required to increase its program-level credit enhancement with respect to this transaction. Versailles has $5 billion in purchase commitments, $3.3 billion in ABCP outstanding and $296 million in program-level credit enhancement.

RABOBANK'S NIEUW AMSTERDAM AMENDS PROGRAM DOCUMENTS

Nieuw Amsterdam Receivables Corporation S.à r.L. has merged with Nieuw Amsterdam Receivables Corporation B.V.

Nieuw Amsterdam is a partially supported ABCP conduit sponsored by Rabobank Nederland. Rabobank Nederland is also the administrative agent and liquidity provider for the program.

Nieuw Amsterdam has a $8.6 billion program limit and approximately $5.5 billion of ABCP outstanding. Its program-level credit enhancement is approximately $250 million.

TORONTO DOMINION-SPONSORED CONDUITS ACQUIRE AN INTEREST IN TWO POOLS OF RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGES

The pool consists of variable rate prime conventional mortgages originated by a Canadian financial institution.

Merit Trust ("Merit") and Zeus Receivables Trust ("Zeus"), two partially supported, multiseller Canadian ABCP programs sponsored by Toronto Dominion Bank ("TD,") and administered by TD Securities Inc., have acquired an interest in a pool of residential mortgages totaling CAD 163 million.
