The principal methodology applicable is Master European Granular Corporate Securitisations (SME CLOs) which can be found on www.dbrs.com.
The rating action reflects the following analytical considerations:
• The impact of the 8 August 2012 downgrade of the Kingdom of Spain from A (high) Under Review Negative to A (low) Negative Trend, including the incorporation of a sovereign related stress component related to the A (low) rating on trend Negative.
• Performance of the deal, with higher than expected defaults and increased regional and industrial concentration risk, among other factors.
