Rating Action:

Moody's downgrades certain Credit Suisse subprime RMBS

26 May 2009

New York, May 26, 2009 -- Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the rating of 123 securities from 30 subprime RMBS transactions issued by Credit Suisse. These actions are part of an ongoing review of subprime RMBS transactions.

The rating actions are the result of an analysis of credit enhancement relative to updated collateral loss projections. The revised loss projections generally result from deterioration in collateral performance in recent months. Additionally, most affected transactions have, at some point, passed performance triggers and released portions of credit enhancement.

Moody's approach to analyzing seasoned subprime pools (i.e. prior to 2H 2005) takes into account the annualized loss rate from last 12 months ("Recent Losses") and the projected loss rate over next 12 months ("Pipeline Losses"), and then translates these measures into lifetime losses based on a deal's expected remaining life. Recent Losses are calculated by assessing cumulative losses incurred over the past 12-months as a percentage of the average pool factor in the last year. For Pipeline Losses, Moody's uses an annualized roll rate of 15%, 30%, 65% and 90% for loans that are delinquent 60-days, 90+ days, are in foreclosure, and REO respectively. Moody's then applies deal-specific severity assumptions, in this case ranging from 55% to 80%. The results of these two calculations - Recent Losses and Pipeline Losses - are weighted to arrive at the lifetime cumulative loss projection.

Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in the process of rating this issue can also be found at www.moodys.com in the Credit Policy & Methodologies directory.

This document is intended to be provided only to “wholesale clients” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001. By continuing to access this document from within Australia, you represent to MOODY’S that you are, or are accessing the document as a representative of, a “wholesale client” and that neither you nor the entity you represent will directly or indirectly disseminate this document or its contents to “retail clients” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001. MOODY’S credit rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a debt obligation of the issuer, not on the equity securities of the issuer or any form of security that is available to retail investors.

Additional terms for Japan only: Moody's Japan K.K. (“MJKK”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of Moody's Group Japan G.K., which is wholly-owned by Moody’s Overseas Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCO. Moody’s SF Japan K.K. (“MSFJ”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of MJKK. MSFJ is not a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). Therefore, credit ratings assigned by MSFJ are Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings. Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings are assigned by an entity that is not a NRSRO and, consequently, the rated obligation will not qualify for certain types of treatment under U.S. laws. MJKK and MSFJ are credit rating agencies registered with the Japan Financial Services Agency and their registration numbers are FSA Commissioner (Ratings) No. 2 and 3 respectively.

MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) hereby disclose that most issuers of debt securities (including corporate and municipal bonds, debentures, notes and commercial paper) and preferred stock rated by MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) have, prior to assignment of any rating, agreed to pay to MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) for ratings opinions and services rendered by it fees ranging from JPY125,000 to approximately JPY250,000,000.

MJKK and MSFJ also maintain policies and procedures to address Japanese regulatory requirements.
