Rating Action:

Moody's takes action on 23 US IO RMBS bonds from 16 deals issued prior to 2009

08 Feb 2018

New York, February 08, 2018 -- Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) has downgraded the ratings of 23 Interest-Only (IO) bonds from 16 US residential mortgage backed securitization (RMBS) transactions, issued by multiple issuers prior to 2009.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The factors that Moody's considers in rating an IO bond depend on the type of referenced securities or assets to which the IO bond is linked. Generally, the ratings on IO bonds reflect the linkage and performance of the respective transactions, including expected losses on the collateral, and pay-downs or write-offs of the related reference bonds. However, today's downgrade of the ratings of 23 IO bonds to C(sf) reflects the nonpayment of interest for an extended period, ranging between 19 months to 12 years. Prior rating actions did not take the nonpayment of interest into consideration. Today's action corrects the ratings to reflect the nonpayment of interest for an extended period of time due to weak performance.

For these bonds, the coupon rate or the notional balance is subject to a calculation that has reduced the required interest distribution to zero. The reduction to zero is generally attributed to weak performance and/or rate reduction on the collateral due to underlying loan modifications. Because the coupon on these bonds is subject to changes in interest rates and/or collateral composition, there is a remote possibility that they may receive interest in the future. The rating of C addresses the loss of interest attributable to credit related reasons.

Please click on this link http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PBS_SF467310 for the List of Affected Credit Ratings. This list is an integral part of this Press Release and identifies, for each affected credit rating, Moody's disclosures on the following items:

-Principal Methodologies

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

An IO bond may be upgraded or downgraded, within the constraints and provisions of the IO methodology, based on lower or higher realized and expected loss due to an overall improvement or decline in the credit quality of the reference bonds and/or pools.

For more information please see www.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 of the disclosure form.

The analysis includes an assessment of collateral characteristics and performance to determine the expected collateral loss or a range of expected collateral losses or cash flows to the rated instruments. As a second step, Moody's estimates expected collateral losses or cash flows using a quantitative tool that takes into account credit enhancement, loss allocation and other structural features, to derive the expected loss for each rated instrument.

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.

For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt, this announcement provides certain 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 certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the credit rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular credit rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the support provider's credit rating. For provisional ratings, this announcement provides certain 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.

For any affected securities or rated entities receiving direct credit support from the primary entity(ies) of this credit rating action, and whose ratings may change as a result of this credit rating action, the associated regulatory disclosures will be those of the guarantor entity. Exceptions to this approach exist for the following disclosures, if applicable to jurisdiction: Ancillary Services, Disclosure to rated entity, Disclosure from rated entity.

Regulatory disclosures contained in this press release apply to the credit rating and, if applicable, the related rating outlook or rating review.

Please see www.moodys.com for any updates on changes to the lead rating analyst and to the Moody's legal entity that has issued the rating.

Please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on www.moodys.com for additional regulatory disclosures for each credit rating.
