Rating Action:

Moody's takes rating actions in RMAC 2005-NSP2 PLC, RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS1 and RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS2

17 Jun 2015

London, 17 June 2015 -- Moody's Investors Service has today upgraded the ratings of 12 notes, confirmed the ratings of 2 notes and affirmed the ratings of 9 notes in 3 UK non-conforming residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transactions: RMAC 2005-NSP2 PLC, RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS1 and RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS2.

Today's rating actions are prompted by (i) the conclusion of the review of the rating of the swap counterparty (ii) the revision of key collateral assumptions. The rating actions also incorporate the operational risk cap of Aa2 placed on the notes' ratings across all three transactions.

Please refer to the end of the Ratings Rationale section for a list of affected ratings.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Today's rating actions conclude the placement on review for upgrade of 4 notes in RMAC 2005-NSP2 PLC, 5 notes in RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS1 and 5 notes in RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS2 after the updates to several Moody's rating methodologies.

Following the placement on review of the notes on 20 March 2015, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS)'s long term domestic deposit rating was upgraded to A3 and its Counterparty Risk Assessment ("CR Assessment") was assigned at A3(cr) on 28 May 2015 (http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PR_326277). RBS acts as the swap counterparty in all three transactions.

Moody's confirmed the ratings of securities whose credit enhancement is sufficient to maintain current rating on the affected notes.

-- COUNTERPARTY RISK EXPOSURE AND UPDATES TO MOODY'S STRUCTURE FINANCE RATING METHODOLOGIES

Today's rating actions took into consideration the notes' exposure to relevant counterparties, such as servicer, account banks or swap providers. Moody's incorporated the updates to its structured finance methodologies in its analysis of the transactions affected by today's rating actions (see "Moody's updates several structured finance rating methodologies in light of its new counterparty risk assessment for banks", published on 16 March 2015). Moody's uses CR Assessments to measure the risk of default for exposures to swap counterparties.

-- KEY COLLATERAL ASSUMPTIONS

Moody's has reassessed its lifetime loss expectation taking into account the collateral performance of the transactions to date. The three securitized pools are performing in line with Moody's expected loss assumptions. As a result, Moody's maintained the Expected Loss assumptions at 1.5% for RMAC 2005-NSP2 PLC, 3.2% for RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS1, and 4.2% for RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS2 of the original pool balance.

Today's actions also reflect the improving characteristics of the collateral resulting in a lower MILAN CE assumption for all three transactions. Moody's lowered the MILAN CE assumption in all three transactions to reflect the decreasing weighted average loan-to-value ratio since their last rating actions. Moody's revised the Milan CE assumption to 14.1% in RMAC 2005-NSP2 PLC from 20.5%, to 17.85% in RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS1 from 25% and to 20.65% in RMAC SECURITIES No. 1 PLC Series 2006-NS2 from 32%.

Principal Methodology:

The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Moody's Approach to Rating RMBS Using the MILAN Framework", published in January 2015. Please see the Credit Policy page www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

The analysis undertaken by Moody's at the initial assignment of a rating for an RMBS security may focus on aspects that become less relevant or typically remain unchanged during the surveillance stage. Please see Moody's Approach to Rating RMBS Using the MILAN Framework for further information on Moody's analysis at the initial rating assignment and the on-going surveillance in RMBS.

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

Factors or circumstances that could lead to an upgrade of the ratings include (1) better-than-expected performance of the underlying collateral; (2) deleveraging of the capital structure; and (3) improvements in the credit quality of the transaction counterparties

Factors or circumstances that could lead to a downgrade of the ratings include (1) an increase in sovereign risk; (2) worse-than-expected performance of the underlying collateral; (3) deterioration in the notes' available credit enhancement; and (4) deterioration in the credit quality of the transaction counterparties.

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 relies on an assessment of collateral characteristics to determine the collateral loss distribution, that is, the function that correlates to an assumption about the likelihood of occurrence to each level of possible losses in the collateral. As a second step, Moody's evaluates each possible collateral loss scenario using a model that replicates the relevant structural features to derive payments and therefore the ultimate potential losses for each rated instrument. The loss a rated instrument incurs in each collateral loss scenario, weighted by assumptions about the likelihood of events in that scenario occurring, results in the expected loss of the 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 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 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 rating action, and whose ratings may change as a result of this 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.
