Rating Action:

Moody's takes actions on seven Italian RMBS transactions

10 Mar 2010

Approximately EUR 386 million of debt securities affected.

Milan, March 10, 2010 -- Moody's Investors Service has placed ten classes of notes issued in six Italian RMBS transactions under review for upgrade. At the same time, the rating agency has placed one class of notes issued in an Italian RMBS transaction under review for downgrade. The transactions affected by the potential upgrade are Bipitalia Residential S.r.l., Cordusio RMBS S.r.l., Heliconus S.r.l., Mantegna Finance S.r.l., IntesaBci Sec. 2 S.r.l. and Voba Finance S.r.l. The note placed under review for downgrade was issued by Sestante Finance S.r.l. A complete list of all eleven affected tranches can be found at the end of this press release.

In identifying the seven Italian RMBS transactions for review, Moody's has taken into account the performance of the collateral to date, its deviation from Moody's expectations and the levels of credit enhancement available to absorb the losses on the respective portfolios, as well as potential risks linked to counterparties in the deals. Within the Italian RMBS sector, these transactions have shown a material deviation from Moody's performance expectations, either positively or negatively. For more information on the transactions' credit performance and market comparable data, please refer to their respective performance overview reports and Moody's Italian RMBS Indices, both available on www.moodys.com.

The review for upgrade was prompted by the better-than-expected performance of the transactions coupled with their deleveraging. Moody's has taken into account that counterparty risk linked to the originator, the servicer and the swap provider role of each transaction is limited or could be compensated by increased credit enhancement. Although Moody's has a negative sector outlook for Italian RMBS and the Italian macro-economic environment is weak, Moody's believes that the affected transactions have sufficient credit enhancement to allow for an upgrade of certain classes.

Bipitalia Residential S.r.l. has a pool factor of 35% and cumulative defaults have reached only 0.6% of original pool balance with 90+ delinquencies standing at 2.4% of current balance. Cordusio RMBS S.r.l. has a pool factor of 44%, its cumulative defaults are at 0.6% and 90+ delinquencies have reached only 0.5%. Heliconus S.r.l. has a pool factor of 42%, 2.6% 90+ delinquencies and 2.3% cumulative defaults. IntesaBci Sec. 2 S.r.l., with a 17% pool factor has defaults as low as 0.4% and delinquencies barely exceed 1.2%. Mantegna Finance S.r.l. has amortised to 20% of its original pool balance, its total delinquencies reach 7.8% of current balance but cumulative defaults are as low as 1.5% of original balance. Finally, Voba Finance S.r.l.'s 90+ delinquencies are at 2.6% and cumulative defaults have exceeded 1% with a pool factor of 60%, and the transaction has a substantial reserve fund and over-collateralisation.

Moody's have placed the Class C notes issued by Sestante Finance S.r.l. on review for possible downgrade because of the worse-than-expected performance of the collateral backing the notes. The transaction has been drawing on its reserve fund and for three consecutive payment dates it has been under its target, now standing at EUR18.2 million as opposed to its target of EUR21 million. With a 49% pool factor, cumulative defaults reached 3.7% and 90+ delinquencies stood at 6.1% on the last payment date. On 18 December 2009, Moody's downgraded most notes issued by the same issuer in different transactions for worse-than-expected performance.

Moody's has also factored into its analysis the negative sector outlook for Italian RMBS (see the report "EMEA ABS & RMBS: 2009 Review & 2010 Outlook ", January 2010). Moody'sEconomy.com estimates that Italian GDP grew by 0.4% in Q4 2009, following 0.6% quarter-on-quarter growth in Q3 2009, when Italy's economy emerged from five quarters of recession. It is expected that Italy's economy will grow by 1.1% in 2010, driven by exports and modest improvement in domestic demand. However, the unemployment rate in Italy rose to 8.5% in December, the highest rate since monthly records began in 2004. A still deteriorating job market will weigh on household purchasing power, aggravated by inflation pressure. For detailed information please see Moody's Economy.Com on www.moodys.com.

As part of its detailed transaction review, Moody's will reassess for each portfolio its lifetime loss expectation reflecting the collateral performance to date as well as the future macro-economic environment. Moody's will also request, whenever not already available, updated loan-by-loan information to revise its MILAN Aaa credit enhancement. Loan-by-loan information will also permit the rating agency to validate its assumptions with regards to which loans have a higher default propensity. The lifetime loss and the MILAN Aaa credit enhancement are the key parameters used by Moody's to calibrate its loss distribution curve, which is one of the core inputs in the cash-flow model.

The rating reviews will be concluded over the course of the next three to six months following a detailed review and remodeling with updated performance data of each transaction. In the meantime, Moody's will continue to closely monitor the performance of the portfolios in the next quarterly periods.

Moody's ratings address the expected loss posed to investors by the legal final maturity of the notes. Moody's ratings address only the credit risks associated with the transactions. Other non-credit risks have not been addressed, but may have a significant effect on yield to investors.

The principal methodology used in rating and monitoring the transactions is "Moody's Approach to Rating Italian RMBS" published in December 2004 , which can be found 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 issuer can also be found in the Rating Methodologies sub-directory on Moody's website. Further information on Moody's analysis of these transactions is available on www.moodys.com. In addition, Moody's publishes a weekly summary of structured finance credit, ratings and methodologies, available to all registered users of our website, at www.moodys.com/SFQuickCheck.

MCO and Moody’s Investors Service also maintain policies and procedures to address the independence of Moody’s Investors Service credit ratings and credit rating processes. Information regarding certain affiliations that may exist between directors of MCO and rated entities, and between entities who hold credit ratings from Moody’s Investors Service and have also publicly reported to the SEC an ownership interest in MCO of more than 5%, is posted annually at www.moodys.com under the heading “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance — Director and Shareholder Affiliation Policy.”

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”).

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 credit rating, agreed to pay to MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) for credit ratings opinions and services rendered by it fees ranging from JPY125,000 to approximately JPY550,000,000.
