Announcement:

Moody's publishes additional information on TRUP CDOs

10 Dec 2008
Moody's publishes additional information on TRUP CDOs

New York, December 10, 2008 -- Moody's is providing additional information from the November 12, 2008 press release on TRUP CDOs (Rating Action). The additional information, shown in the table below, includes the modeled weighted average rating factor (WARF) (including the 1.25 stress) and the assumed defaulted par for each of the 44 TRUP CDOs using the approach described in the Rating Action.

Moody's methodology for bank TRUP CDOs is summarized below. This methodology is the same approach used in the Rating Action.

Moody's approach to calculating the default probability used two financial ratios for every bank in the collateral portfolio. The first ratio is calculated as follows: (non-current loans plus other real estate owned) divided by (tangible common equity plus allowance for loan losses) ("First Ratio"). The second ratio is calculated as follows: (non-current loans plus other real estate owned plus 20% of current construction and development loans) divided by (tangible common equity plus allowance for loan losses) ("Second Ratio"). If the First Ratio is above 150% or the Second Ratio is above 175%, for purposes of these rating actions, Moody's assumed these banks to be defaulted with a zero recovery. If the First Ratio is above 100% or the Second Ratio is above 130%, Moody's assumed these banks had an implied default probability Rating Factor of 6500 (implied default probability rating of Caa2). Moody's used the second quarter 2008 financials when calculating the First Ratio and Second Ratio. Generally, the First Ratio and Second Ratio were used to identify banks more likely to defer payments on their trust preferred securities or default.

For all other banks in TRUP CDOs without a public rating from Moody's, when calculating the default probability, Moody's used the quantitative V3.1 Risk Calc Model for private banks with the credit cycle adjustment (the "Model"). To account for potential model error and adverse selection, the most favorable implied default probability Rating Factor assumed from the Model was 360, which translates into an implied default probability rating of Baa2. Finally, to account for the increased likelihood of deferral on the bank TRUPs in the current environment, the pool-wide default probability was multiplied by 1.25. Moody's used the second quarter 2008 financials in the Model.

For correlation purposes, Moody's continued to assume five regions for U.S. banks, but no longer making a distinction between banks and thrifts. Also, Moody's increased the assumed inter-asset correlation, which is correlation between bank regions, to 10%. The assumed intra-asset correlation, which is correlation within bank regions, remained at 45%. The update to the default probability assumptions was a much larger driver to these rating actions than the correlation update.

Moody's continued to assume a 10% recovery for bank trust preferred securities in its cash flow analysis which represents the likelihood that some banks that defer interest payments may ultimately pay cumulative interest without defaulting. For any bank TRUP issuer currently deferring interest, Moody's assumed that issuer was defaulted with a zero recovery. Moody's also continued to use the correlated binomial to analyze TRUP CDOs. Other than the assumptions noted above, these actions used the approach outlined in Moody's Approach to Rating U.S. Bank Trust Preferred Security CDOs, April 14, 2004.
