Tokyo, March 03, 2011 -- Moody's Japan K.K. has assigned a definitive rating of Aa3 to the USD 20 million credit-linked notes issued by Corsair (Jersey) No.3 Limited.

The rating addresses the expected loss posed to investors by the maturity date. The structure allows for timely payments of interest, and ultimate payment of principal by the maturity date.

The complete rating actions follows:

Issuer: Corsair (Jersey) No.3 Limited Series 30

....US$20M Corsair (Jersey) No.3 Limited Series 30 Notes, Assigned Aa3

Notes Rated: Corsair (Jersey) No.3 Limited Series 30 Single Name Credit-linked Notes

Swap Counterparty: JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Senior Unsecured Long-Term Rating: Aa1)

Reference Entity: One International Financial Institution (Senior Unsecured Long-Term Rating: Aaa)

Arranger: JPMorgan Securities Ltd.

RATING RATIONALE

The transaction is comprised of credit-linked notes backed by the collateral asset, referencing one international financial institution. A credit default swap agreement and an asset swap agreement are incorporated into the transaction.

The principal and interest payments on the collateral asset and the proceeds from the swap counterparty are used for the principal and interest payments on the Notes.

The principal and interest payments on the collateral asset are denominated in JPY, and the principal and interest payments on the Notes in USD. The currency exposure will be hedged via the asset swap agreement between the issuer and the swap counterparty.

The rating on the Notes is based mainly on the credit quality of the collateral asset, the credit quality of the reference entity, the credit quality of the swap counterparty and the strength of transaction structure.

If the rating on the collateral asset, the rating of the reference entity or the rating of the swap counterparty changes, the rating on the Notes can also change.

The principal methodology used in this rating was "Moody's Approach to Rating Repackaged Securities" published on September 30, 2010, and available on www.moodys.co.jp.

Credit ratings are Moody's current opinions of the relative future credit risk of entities, credit commitments, or debt or debt-like securities.

Credit ratings do not address any other risk, including but not limited to: liquidity risk, market value risk, or price volatility. Credit ratings do not constitute investment or financial advice, and credit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, sell, or hold particular securities. No warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any such rating or other opinion or information is given or made by Moody's in any form or manner whatsoever. The credit risk of an issuer or its obligations is assessed based on information received from the issuer or from public sources. Moody's may change the rating when it deems necessary. Moody's may also withdraw the rating due to insufficient information, or for other reasons.

Additional terms for Japan only: Moody's Japan K.K.
