DBRS Finalizes Provisional Ratings on Canadian Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust II Auto Loan Receivables-Backed Notes, Series 2011-1

DBRS has today finalized its provisional ratings of AAA (sf) on the Auto Loan Receivables-Backed Notes, Series 2011-1, Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes and Class A-3 Notes (collectively, the Senior Notes), AA (sf) on the Auto Loan Receivables-Backed Notes, Series 2011-1, Class B Notes and A (low) (sf) on the Auto Loan Receivables-Backed Notes, Series 2011-1, Class C Notes (collectively the Subordinated Notes), all issued by Canadian Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust II (the Trust).

On closing, the Trust acquired a co-ownership interest in a portfolio of secured retail auto loans originated by Ally Credit Canada, Limited (Ally Credit) and its affiliates through a two-step sale. The Notes are structured as pass-through securities with principal and interest paid on a monthly basis from collections on the receivables. The final ratings incorporate the following considerations:

(1) The consistent loss and delinquency performance of Ally Credit’s owned and managed retail loan portfolio.

(2) The high level of credit enhancement supporting the Senior and Subordinated Notes. The Senior Notes benefit from 2.75% enhancement in the form of the Subordinated Notes. Additionally, non-amortizing overcollateralization of 2.25%, non-amortizing cash of 1.0% and an initial annual interest rate spread of 3.28% annually (absent losses or replacement servicer fees) is also available to support the issued Notes.

(3) The significant experience of Ally Credit in the origination and servicing of retail auto loans and securitization transactions backed by those assets.

(4) A well-diversified and seasoned portfolio, with balanced geographic representation across Canada and a weighted average credit bureau score of 767.

Stress tests that used assumptions including servicer fees and large increases in delinquency
and credit losses indicate that the credit enhancement provides sufficient protection to the
Notes to warrant the ratings assigned.
