DBRS Confirms Ratings on the Class A, Class B and Class C Notes Issued by Impresa ONE S.r.l.
Structured CreditDBRS Ratings Limited (“DBRS”) has today confirmed the following ratings on the Notes issued by Impresa ONE S.r.l. (“the Issuer”):
• EUR 5,156,100,000 Class A Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes at AAA (sf)
• EUR 1,207,700,000 Class B Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes at A (sf)
• EUR 836,100,000 Class C Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes at BBB (sf)
The rating actions reflect the 9 November 2011 DBRS downgrade of the Republic of Italy’s Long-Term Foreign Currency and Long-Term Local Currency ratings from AA (low) to A (high), Negative Trend maintained. The following analytical considerations are reflected in the rating actions:
• Incorporation of a sovereign related stress component in our stress scenario due to the recent downgrade by DBRS of the Republic of Italy’s sovereign rating from AA (low) to A (high), Negative Trend maintained.
• Increased uncertainty surrounding collateral performance as a result of the impact of deteriorating macroeconomic variables and debt stability issues for the Republic of Italy.
