Structured Credit
June 20, 2012

DBRS Ratings Limited (“DBRS”) has today downgraded and placed Under Review with Negative Implications the following ratings on the Notes issued by FTPYME TDA CAM 7, F.T.A. (the “Issuer”):

• EUR 603.5 million Series A1 Notes: downgraded from AA (sf) to A (high) (sf)
• EUR 170 million Series A2 (CA) Notes: downgraded from AA (sf) to A (high) (sf)
• EUR 123.5 million Series A3 Notes: downgraded from AA (sf) to A (high) (sf)

The principal public methodology is Master European Granular Corporate Securitisations (SME CLOs), which can be found on our website under Methodologies.

The rating action reflects the following analytical considerations:
• The impact of the May 3, 2012 downgrade by DBRS, Inc. of the long term foreign and local currency debt of the Kingdom of Spain to A (high) from AA (low) with trends remaining Negative (see press release “DBRS Downgrades Spain to A (high), Trend Remains Negative”), including the incorporation of a sovereign related stress component related to the A (high) rating on trend Negative.
• The impact of the May 22, 2012 rating action by DBRS, Inc. placing the long term foreign and local currency debt of the Kingdom of Spain Under Review with Negative Implications (see “DBRS Places Spain’s Ratings Under Review with Negative Implications”).

• Heightened concern with respect to the stress certain transaction parties may come under to perform transaction obligations (servicers and collection account banks domiciled in Spain).

• Increased uncertainty surrounding the impact of macroeconomic variables on collateral performance.
