There are nine groups in this resecuritization trust. DBRS rates securities from groups 2, 3 4, 5, 7 and 9, each consisting of one or two seasoned senior residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS). The ratings on the securities reflect the credit enhancement provided by subordination within each group or subgroup and the quality of the underlying assets. Initial Exchangeable securities may be exchanged for Subsequent Exchangeable securities, and vice versa, in the combinations described in the private placement memorandum.
Other than the specified classes above, DBRS does not rate any other securities in this transaction.
Interest and principal payments on the securities will be made on the 26th of each month regardless of the underlying distribution date, commencing in May 2012. Within each DBRS-rated, interest payments will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the securities, and principal payments will be distributed on a sequential basis, until the principal balances have been reduced to zero.
Any losses realized from the underlying securities will be allocated in a reverse sequential order within each group, until the principal balances have been reduced to zero.
Each DBRS-rated group is a resecuritization of one seasoned senior RMBS, represented by one real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC). The REMICs are backed by pools of seasoned, prime or Alt-A, first lien, fixed- or adjustable-rate, one- to four-family residential mortgages.
The ratings assigned to the offered securities address (i) the likelihood of the receipt by security holders of all principal distributions to which such security holders are entitled and (ii) the likelihood of the receipt by security holders of the amount of interest actually received by the trust to the extent payable to each class in accordance with the priorities described in the operative documents (as such interest received by the trust may have been reduced as a result of any interest shortfalls allocated to the related underlying securities, and as such interest entitlement may be further reduced by the allocation of extraordinary trust expenses). For more details on the ratings, please refer to the offering and transaction legal documents.
DBRS ReREMIC Methodology Excerpt:
Since a ReREMIC is a pass-through of interest, principal and losses from the underlying certificates, its interest entitlement is usually capped at the actual interest amount collected on the underlying securities.
In other words, a ReREMIC trust cannot pay out more interest than it receives from its collateral, and sometimes, what is collected on the underlying securities can be as low as zero.
When rating ReREMICs, DBRS is assessing the ability of the trust making the full principal payment by the legal final maturity date of the transaction. These transactions typically define interest rate as the lesser of the bond coupon and the available interest funds. Hence, the DBRS rating does not provide an opinion on the timeliness or amount of interest payments the investor may receive. The trust’s only obligation is to pass through the interest proceeds net of fees from the underlying securities.
