DBRS Finalizes Rating of Selkirk No. 3 Limited

DBRS has today finalized the rating assigned to the following class of Selkirk No. 3 Trust Commercial Pass-Through Certificates (the Certificates), issued by Selkirk No. 3 Limited. The trend is Stable.

-- Class A at AAA (sf)

Class A will be privately placed pursuant to Rule 144A.

The collateral consists of 62 seasoned, fixed-rate loans secured by 65 commercial and multifamily properties, comprising a total transaction balance of $754,454,320. The loans in this pool were originated by AIG Asset Management (U.S.) LLC (AGM), a life insurance company with strong origination practices, and have an average seasoning of 72 months. Aside from one late payment in 2005, none of the loans defaulted during the recent economic recession, demonstrating the financial strength of the underlying assets. The DBRS sample included 28 of the 62 loans, representing 73.3% of the total pool by allocated loan balance. The pool has a high concentration of amortizing loans (84.8% of the pool), resulting in 32.5% amortization over the remaining loan term, which is significantly higher than other recently rated DBRS conduit transactions. The pool also has a weighted-average interest rate of 5.83%, which is substantially greater than current rates, minimizing the individual loan’s refinance risk. The pool is also relatively diverse based on loan size, with the concentration level similar to a pool of 28 equal-sized loans and no loan representing more than 8.1% of the pool.

Due to the seasoned nature of the pool, YE2013 financial information and rent rolls were generally the most current information available and third-party reports were usually greater than 12 months old with dated market information. The resulting average DBRS net cash flow (NCF) haircut to the securitized NCF is -8.3%.

The ratings assigned to the Certificates by DBRS are based exclusively on the credit provided by the transaction structure and underlying trust assets. All classes will be subject to ongoing surveillance, which could result in upgrades or downgrades by DBRS after the date of issuance.
