Rating Action:

Moody's Investors Service has today assigned definitive ratings to the Italian RMBS Notes issued by Claris RMBS 2011 S.r.l.

16 Mar 2011

Approximately EUR 1151.2 million of debt security affected

Milan, March 16, 2011 -- Moody's Investors Service has today assigned definitive long term ratings to Italian RMBS notes issued by Claris RMBs 2011 S.r.l.:

Aaa (sf) to the Euro 175.0 million Class A1 Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes due November 2060

Aaa (sf) to the Euro 385.0 million Class A2 Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes due November 2060

Aaa (sf) to the Euro 591.2 million Class A3 Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes due November 2060

Moody's has not assigned any rating to Euro 203.2 million Class B Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes due November 2060.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The ratings of the notes take into account the credit quality of the underlying mortgage loan pool, the dynamic delinquency data and the vintage data for defaults and recoveries received from the originator Veneto Banca S.c.p.a. ("VB"). Based on the different data sources Moody's has determined the Aaa MILAN Credit Enhancement and the expected loss for the portfolio.

The transaction represents the ninth securitisation of receivables originated by VB (Not publicly rated). The assets supporting the notes, which amount to around EUR 1354.4 million, consists of residential mortgage loans on properties located in Italy. The transaction benefits from a cash reserve equal to 3.0% of the initial asset balance that primarily can cover interest shortfall on the rated notes and items senior thereto, while it only serves as credit enhancement when the Class A notes are fully redeemed or at final legal maturity. The portfolio will be serviced by VB (NR) and if VB loses the requisites defined as "Requisiti di Unico Servicer" a back up servicer will be appointed. The Representative of the Noteholders, Securitisation Services S.p.A., facilitates the search for and the appointment of a back-up servicer in case it would be needed.

The expected portfolio loss of 3.0% of the initial asset balance and the MILAN Aaa required Credit Enhancement of 11.0% served as input parameters for Moody's cash flow model, which is based on a probabilistic lognormal distribution as described in the report "The Lognormal Method Applied to ABS Analysis", published in September 2000.

The key drivers for the portfolio expected loss, which is slightly higher than the Italian average for the sector, are: (i) nine years of vintage data for defaults based on loans with similar characteristics as the ones in the portfolio; (ii) the vintage data shows that the default rates experienced by VB are strongly correlated with the market wide default rates for Italian residential mortgage loans and that VB's default data show a very weak "seasoning effect", if any; (iii) the negative outlook Moody's has on Italian RMBS; (iv) six years of dynamic delinquency data for loans with similar characteristics as the portfolio (v) the vintage data for recoveries only covers closed files and therefore the recovery rates and recovery lag has mainly been based on benchmarking with comparable banks.

The key drivers for the MILAN Aaa Credit Enhancement number, which is slightly higher than other Italian RMBS transactions are: (i) around 52.6% of the borrowers in the pool are single borrowers, which is slightly higher than other Italian transactions; (ii) for 12.7% of the loans in the pool the property value has been estimated by the head of the branch while for a standard Italian RMBS transaction the property values are assessed by a certified appraiser; (iii) Moody's has also considered that there could be other characteristics of the pool which have not been properly captured in the MILAN model and therefore the MILAN number has been qualitatively adjusted in order to generate a loss distribution with a certain level of volatility or with other words to account for a higher probability of "fat tail" events with respect to the expected loss.

The structure benefits from two interest rate swaps, provided by J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd (Aa1/P-1): (i) a fixed-floating rates swap, which is hedging around 37.5% of the pool that consists of fixed rate loans and (ii) a basis swap whereby the issuer is paying the 6-month EURIBOR received on most of the floating rate loans and receives the three-month EURIBOR due under the notes. Floating rate loans amounting to around 9.5% of the initial pool balance are not perfectly hedged by the basis swap and therefore Moody's has made a haircut to the interest that the pool is generating in order to consider this basis risk. The swaps are substantially compliant with Moody's standard swap de-linkage criteria.

Liquidity in the transaction comes from (i) the non-amortising cash reserve (equal to 3.0% of the initial pool balance), which normally works more like liquidity ledger since it mainly covers interest on the rated notes, swap payments and senior fees during the life of the transactions and only serves as credit enhancement when the Class A notes are redeemed or at final legal maturity, and (ii) the principal to pay interest mechanism.

Moody's assigned a Composite V Score for this transaction of Low/Medium, which is in line with the V score assigned for the Italian RMBS sector. Two sub components of the transaction's V Score differ from the Italian RMBS sector score: (i) Quality of Historical Data for the Issuer/Sponsor/Originator which is assessed to be at Medium, higher than the Low/Medium sector's average, given that the recovery data was only provided on loans where the recovery process has been finalised and therefore Moody's had rely on benchmarking in order to estimate the recovery rate and recovery lag for the expected loss and (ii) "Issuer/Sponsor/Originator's Historical Performance Variability" which is assessed to be Low/Medium, higher than the Low sector's average, because of the mixed performance of previous deals originated by VB. V Scores are a relative assessment of the quality of available credit information and of the degree of dependence on various assumptions used in determining the rating. High variability in key assumptions could expose a rating to more likelihood of rating changes. The V Score has been assigned according to the report "V-Scores and Parameter Sensitivities in the Major EMEA RMBS Sectors" published in April 2009.

Moody's Parameter Sensitivities: If the expected loss increased to 9.0% from 3.0%, the model output indicated that Classes A1 and A2 would still have achieved Aaa even if the MILAN Aaa CE increased to 17.6% from 11.0% and all other factors remained the same, while the Class A3 note would achieve A2 in the abovementioned scenario. Moody's Parameter Sensitivity provide a quantitative/model-indicated calculation of the number of rating notches that a Moody's-rated structured finance security may vary if certain input parameters used in the initial rating process differed. The analysis assumes that the deal has not aged and is not intended to measure how the rating of the security might migrate over time, but rather how the initial rating of the security might have differed if key rating input parameters were varied. Qualitative factors are also taken into consideration in the ratings process, so the actual ratings that would be assigned in each case could vary from the information presented in the Parameter Sensitivity analysis.

The definitive ratings address 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 ultimate payment of principal at par with respect to the Class A1, Class A2 and Class A3 notes on or before the legal final maturity date of the notes. Moody's ratings address only the credit risks associated with the transaction. Other non-credit risks have not been addressed, but may have a significant effect on yield to investors.

The principal methodologies used in this rating were Moody's Approach to Rating Italian RMBS published in December 2004 and Cash Flow Analysis in EMEA RMBS: Testing Structural Features with the MARCO Model (Moody's Analyser of Residential Cash Flows) published in January 2006.

Moody's Investors Service did not receive or take into account a third party due diligence report on the underlying assets or financial instruments in this transaction.
