Madrid, January 24, 2022 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has today
upgraded the ratings of Class C Notes in FONCAIXA FTGENCAT 5, FTA
and FTPYME TDA CAM 4, FTA. This rating action reflects the
increased level of credit enhancement for the affected notes.
Moody's affirmed the ratings of the notes that had sufficient credit enhancement
to maintain the current rating on the affected notes.
Maximum achievable rating is Aa1 (sf) for structured finance transactions
in Spain, driven by the corresponding local currency country ceiling
of the country.

RATINGS RATIONALE
Today's upgrade rating action is prompted by an increase in the
credit enhancement for the affected tranches.
Increased Credit Enhancement
Sequential amortization led to the increase of the credit enhancement
available in these transactions. For instance, the credit
enhancement for the Class C Notes in FONCAIXA FTGENCAT 5, FTA has
increased to 18.82% from 12.84% since the
last rating action. In FTPYME TDA CAM 4, FTA the credit enhancement
for the Class C Notes has increased to 42.10% from 35.90%
since the last rating action.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was 'Moody's Global Approach
to Rating SME Balance Sheet Securitizations' published in July 2021 and
available at https://www.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBS_1264367.

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) performance of the underlying collateral that is better than
Moody's expected, (2) an increase in available credit enhancement,
(3) improvements in the credit quality of the transaction counterparties
and (4) a decrease in sovereign risk.
Factors or circumstances that could lead to a downgrade of the ratings
include (1) an increase in sovereign risk, (2) performance of the
underlying collateral that is worse than Moody's expected, (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 in the disclosure form. Moody's
Rating Symbols and Definitions can be found at: https://www.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBC_79004.
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.
