Rating Action:

Moody's assigns a definitive rating to National Finance Authority Federal Lease Revenue Bonds (GSA-4 Lease Project), Federally Taxable Series 2021

27 Oct 2021

New York, October 27, 2021 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has assigned a definitive rating to the notes issued by the National Finance Authority of New Hampshire (NFA), a public instrumentality, that issued bonds as requested by, and on behalf of, Government Lease Investors, LLC (the borrower), a bankruptcy remote Delaware limited liability company. Issuance proceeds will be used in part to purchase four loans (the sub-loans) that financed the cost of developing built for use facilities (three FBI facilities and one national archives facility) for the US Government (the lessee) on 20-year, long-term lease contracts that will expire between June 2031 and March 2032. This is the first repackage transaction of loans issued by the NFA, on behalf of Marathon Investments, LLC (Marathon, unrated), the sponsor. Marathon and its affiliates are the project manager for the transaction and were the developers and initial lessors of the properties.

The complete rating action is as follows:

Issuer: National Finance Authority Federal Lease Revenue Bonds (GSA-4 Lease Project), Federally Taxable Series 2021

2021 Bonds, Definitive Rating Assigned Baa3

RATINGS RATIONALE

The rating of the 2021 Bonds is based on the credit quality of the rated underlying sub-loans and expected cash flows, qualitative considerations including an analysis of the bankruptcy remoteness of the legal structure, and a quantitative analysis that aggregates the underlying rated sub-loans to determine a pooled rating. The published ratings on the underlying sub-loan's, ranging from Baa2 to Baa3, reflect Moody's assessment of the terms of the lease contract with the US government, the sufficiency of available reserves, the credit quality of the lessee and the collateral supporting the rated loans, the likely renewal of the lease, and the subsequent refinancing of the sub-loans for an amount sufficient to repay the bonds in full, as well as current expectations for the macroeconomic environment during the life of the transaction.

In the future, the 2021 Bonds may benefit from overcollateralization and cross-collateralization of the properties and sub-loans, respectively, however, such credit enhancement is not contractual nor can it be quantified because it is reliant on unknown factors such as the 1) terms of a replacement lease, 2) prevailing values and cap rates for the four properties on or around the lease maturity dates, 3) the incentive and ability of the sponsor to refinance the leases at a level higher than the outstanding debt, and 4) the limited liquidation horizon, and others.

PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGY

The principal methodology used in this rating was "Moody's Approach to Rating Repackaged Securities" published in June 2020 and available at https://www.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBS_1230078. Alternatively, please see the Rating Methodologies page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

Factors that would lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the rating:

Up

Moody's could upgrade the Bonds if one or more of the sub-loans rated by Moody's is upgraded.

Down

Moody's could downgrade the Bonds if one or more of the sub-loans rated by Moody's is downgraded or withdrawn.

Further details regarding Moody's analysis of this transaction may be found in the related pre-sale report, available on Moodys.com

REGULATORY DISCLOSURES

For further specification of Moody's key rating assumptions and sensitivity analysis, see the sections Methodology Assumptions and Sensitivity to Assumptions in the disclosure form. Moody's Rating Symbols and Definitions can be found at: https://www.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBC_79004.

Moody's quantitative analysis entails an evaluation of scenarios that stress factors contributing to sensitivity of ratings and take into account the likelihood of severe collateral losses or impaired cash flows. Moody's weights the impact on the rated instruments based on its assumptions of the likelihood of the events in such scenarios occurring.
