DBRS Morningstar Comments on Colonnade Global 2017-3 Following Amendment

DBRS Ratings Limited (DBRS Morningstar) found no rating impact on the provisional ratings of 11 tranches of the unexecuted, unfunded financial guarantee regarding the Colonnade Global 2017-3 portfolio, following an amendment to this transaction executed on 27 September 2019.

The amendment serves to reduce the Guarantee size to USD 80 million from USD 140 million, while maintaining the attachment and detachment points of the 11 rated tranches at the same percentage levels. DBRS Morningstar views this reduction as neutral as its rating analysis is based on the losses sustainable at each of these attachment and detachment points. As a result of this reduction, the Maximum Guaranteed Portfolio Amount has decreased to USD 941 million from USD 1,647 million and the rated tranches have also decreased to the amounts below:

-- Tranche A reduced to USD 779,670,588 from USD 1,364,423,529
