Deal Name: Godo Kaisha Orso Funding CMBS 6
Class: Class A through F and Class X
Issue Amount (initial): JPY 29.9 billion
Dividend: Floating
Issue Date (initial): March 19, 2007
Final Maturity Date: November, 2013
Underlying Asset (initial): Two non-recourse loans and four
TMK bonds and cash
Originator: Bear Stearns Japan, Ltd. Tokyo Branch (as
of the issue date)
Arranger: Bear Stearns Japan, Ltd. Tokyo Branch (as
of the issue date)
Godo Kaisha Orso Funding CMBS 6, effected in March 2007, represents
the securitization of two non-recourse loans and four TMK bonds.
The Originator transferred six loans and TMK bonds in total to the Issuer
and issued the Class A through F and Class X notes. The notes were
sold to investors. The notes are rated by Moody's.
In this transaction, redemptions of the notes are made on a pro-rata
basis, such as payments at maturity and prepayments resulting from
refinancing. Sequential payments from the most senior class of
the notes are applied in the event of loan defaults and fast pay by the
breach of the triggers. Losses incurred by any defaulted loans
are allocated in reverse sequential order, and starting with the
most subordinate class of the notes.
The transaction is backed by three TMK bonds. Two performing TMK
bonds are backed by one property each: an office/residential complex
in Tokyo and one residential property in Yokohama. The remaining
TMK bond is backed by two hotels located in Tokyo and Oita Prefecture,
defaulted at the maturity.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The current rating action and review reflect the following factors:
1) One specified bond (17.1% of initial balance) is backed
by a business hotel in Tokyo and a full-service hotel in Oita prefecture.
The hotel operator has changed since May 2009 and the performance of both
hotels (such as the occupancy rates) has been flagging. Moody's
has confirmed the operating status of the hotels and re-assessed
their recovery stress assumptions, lowering them approximately 63%
from their initial assumptions.
2) In light of Moody's re-assessment, losses on the
remaining balance of the TMK bond are highly likely and could affect the
Class D and E notes negatively.
Moody's will continue to monitor the properties' operating
status and the progress of special-servicing activities.
