Announcement:

Moody's places on review ratings of U.S. student loan ABS backed by FFELP student loans following the revised rating methodology

02 Apr 2012

Approximately $7.5 billion of asset-backed securities affected

On April 16 2012, the press release was revised as follows:The link to the detailed list of U.S. student loan ABS placed on review due to the new methodology was added to the original press release of April 2, 2012.Revised release follows:

New York, April 02, 2012 -- Moody's Investors Service has placed on review for possible downgrade the ratings of 189 tranches in 24 U.S. student loan transactions from eight issuers following the initial assessment of those transactions under the "Moody's Approach to Rating Securities Backed by FFELP Student Loans" methodology published on April 2. In addition, five subordinate tranches in five U.S. FFELP student loan transactions were placed on review for possible upgrade. The underlying pools consist of student loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). The loans are guaranteed by the Department of Education for a minimum of 97% of defaulted principal and accrued interest.

RATINGS RATIONALE

34 tranches in 19 FFELP securitizations from four issuers were placed on review for possible downgrade as a result of increased expected defaults implemented in the new methodology. The underlying pools in these transactions consist mostly of unseasoned Stafford and Plus loans. While these loans have not experienced significant defaults to date, we expect that a substantial portion of the cumulative expected defaults will occur in the future. Most tranches placed on review are subordinate notes currently rated Aa or A.

155 tranches in five FFELP securitizations from four issuers were placed on review for possible downgrade due to the alignment of interest rate scenarios used in monitoring FFELP securitizations and in initial rating assignment. A portion of the liabilities in the affected securitizations are funded by tax-exempt auction rate securities. The coupon payments for such securities are a multiple of an interest rate index while the asset yield is equal to an index plus a spread. As a result, the securitizations will have a disproportionate increase in the coupon payments as compared to the asset yield in a high interest rate scenario. The ratings placed on review are mostly Aaa and A ratings.

We placed on review for possible upgrade five A-rated subordinate tranches in five FFELP securitizations because the sponsor has decided to change the interest rate index on the loans from three-month financial commercial paper to one-month LIBOR, which has a positive credit impact as it reduces basis risk in these securitizations. In the future, we may put on review for possible upgrade additional notes if issuers of certain 2012 and 2011 transactions change the loan index to one-month LIBOR.

The principal methodology used in rating actions was " Moody's Approach to Rating Securities Backed by FFELP Student Loans ", published on April 2nd, 2012 and is available at www.moodys.com in the Rating Methodologies sub-directory under the Research & Ratings tab. Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in the process of rating this issue can also be found in the Rating Methodologies sub-directory on Moody's website.

The Global Scale Credit Ratings on this press release that are issued by one of Moody's affiliates outside the EU are endorsed by Moody's Investors Service Ltd., One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E 14 5FA, UK, in accordance with Art.4 paragraph 3 of the Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 on Credit Rating Agencies. Further information on the EU endorsement status and on the Moody's office that has issued a particular Credit Rating is available on www.moodys.com

For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series or category/class of debt or pursuant to a program for which the ratings are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to the rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the support provider's credit rating. For provisional ratings, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt, in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would have affected the rating. For further information please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page for the respective issuer on www.moodys.com.

Information sources used to prepare the credit rating are the following: parties involved in the ratings, and confidential and proprietary Moody's Investors Service information.

Moody's Investors Service did not receive or take into account a third party due diligence report on the underlying assets or financial instruments related to the monitoring of this transaction in the past 6 months.

Moody's Investors Service considers the quality of information available on the issuer or obligation satisfactory for the purposes of maintaining a credit rating.

Moody's adopts all necessary measures so that the information it uses in assigning a credit rating is of sufficient quality and from sources Moody's considers to be reliable including, when appropriate, independent third-party sources.

Additional terms for Australia only: Any publication into Australia of this document is pursuant to the Australian Financial Services License of MOODY'S affiliate, Moody's Investors Service Pty Limited ABN 61 003 399 657AFSL 336969 and/or Moody's Analytics Australia Pty Ltd ABN 94 105 136 972 AFSL 383569 (as applicable).
