Rating Action:

Moody's upgrades rated tranches in Mecenate 2007, Voba Finance S.r.l. and Spoleto Mortgages S.r.l.

01 Apr 2015

London, 01 April 2015 -- Moody's Investors Service has today upgraded the ratings of nine notes in three Italian mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transactions: Mecenate 2007, Voba Finance S.r.l. and Spoleto Mortgages S.r.l.

Today's rating actions conclude the placement of the ratings of those nine notes on review for upgrade, initiated on 23 January 2015, following the upgrade of the Italian country ceiling to Aa2 from A2. (see "Moody's takes rating actions on Irish, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish ABS/RMBS deals" - http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PR_316959).

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

-- RATINGS RATIONALE

Today's rating upgrades reflect (1) the upgrade of the Italian local currency country risk ceiling to Aa2; and (2) the updates to Moody's structured finance rating methodologies to incorporate the new Counterparty Risk ("CR") Assessment for banks.

-- REDUCED COUNTRY RISK

The country ceilings reflect a range of risks that issuers in any jurisdiction are exposed to, including economic, legal and political risks. On 20 January 2015, Moody's announced a six-notch uplift between a government bond rating and its country risk ceiling for Italy. As a result, the maximum achievable rating for structured finance transactions increased to Aa2 (sf) from A2 (sf) for Italy.

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

Today's rating actions took into consideration the transactions' exposure to their relevant counterparties, such as servicers, account banks or swap providers, and incorporated the updates to Moody's structured finance methodologies (see "Moody's updates several structured finance rating methodologies in light of its new counterparty risk assessment for banks," published on 16 March 2015 - http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PR_320674).

Moody's now assesses exposures to banks in structured finance transactions by referencing CR Assessment for commingling risk and deposit rating for set-off risk. Moody's also assesses the default probability of each transaction's account bank by referencing the bank's deposit rating. Moody's has introduced a recovery rate assumption of 45% to all the above exposures.

In Voba Finance S.r.l., the exposure to Deutsche Bank Spa, acting as the Issuer Account Bank, constrained the potential upgrade of all rated notes.

Moody's considers how the liquidity available in the transactions and other mitigants support continuity of note payments, in case of servicer default, using the CR Assessment as a reference point for servicers.

Moody's analysis considers the risks of additional losses on the notes if they were to become unhedged following a swap counterparty default by using swap counterparty's CR Assessment as reference point.

The rating review placements of certain banks resulting from Moody's revised bank methodology, will not affect the ratings in these three transactions, if the final ratings on the banks are in line with Moody's preliminary indications (see "Moody's reviews global bank ratings", published on 17 March 2015 - http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PR_321005).

-- REVISION OF KEY COLLATERAL ASSUMPTIONS

Moody's has reassessed its lifetime loss expectation, taking into account the transactions' underlying collateral performance to date. Mecenate 2007 shows worse-than-expected collateral performance . As a result, Moody's increased its Expected Loss (EL) assumption for Mecenate 2007 to 3.68% from 3.47% of the original pool balance. Moody's decreased its Expected Loss (EL) assumption for Spoleto Mortgages S.r.l. to 1.07% from 1.36% of the original pool balance, reflecting better-than-anticipated collateral trends.

Moody's has also increased the MILAN CE in Mecenate 2007 from 8.5% to 10.0%. The increased EL assumption in this transaction resulted in a higher Minimum EL Multiple which corresponds to the MILAN CE floor according to Moody's methodology for rating RMBS transactions using the MILAN framework.

Moody's key collateral assumptions remain unchanged for Voba Finance S.r.l., as the pool performance remains in line with Moody's assumptions.

Moody's quantitative analysis incorporates the ratings' sensitivity to increases in key collateral assumptions. The increases included stresses between 1.25x and 1.50x EL in line with the current EL assumption, and 1.2x MILAN CE.

Moody's sensitivity analysis would typically expect to see the ratings fall by no more than one to three notches using these stressed assumptions. The results of this analysis limited the potential upgrade for the class C notes in Mecenate 2007.

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 on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

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) further decrease in sovereign risk; (2) better-than-expected performance of the underlying collateral; (3) deleveraging of the capital structure; and (4) improvements in the credit quality of the transaction counterparties above the preliminary indication of outcome ratings, after Moody's concluded its review under the bank rating methodology (see "Moody's reviews global bank ratings," published on 17 March 2015 - http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PR_321005).

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.

Moody's did not receive or take into account a third-party assessment on the due diligence performed regarding the underlying assets or financial instruments related to the monitoring of these transactions in the past six months.

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.
