DBRS, Inc. (“DBRS”) has downgraded the ratings on the Class I-B Swap and Class I-C Swap issued by Claris IV Limited - Series 28 from BB (sf) to B (high) (sf), and from BB (low) (sf) to B (low) (sf), respectively. These rating actions reflect deterioration in credit quality of the underlying collateral pool.
