DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) assigned provisional ratings to the following classes of Structured Pass-Through Certificates, Series K-106 to be issued by Freddie Mac Structured Pass-Through Certificates, Series K-106:

-- Class A-1 at AAA (sf)
-- Class A-2 at AAA (sf)
-- Class X1 at AAA (sf)

All trends are Stable.

Freddie Mac guarantees the (1) timely payment of interest; (2) payment of related principal on the distribution date following the maturity date of each mortgage loan to the extent that such principal would have been distributed to the underlying Class A-1, A-2, and A-M certificates; (3) reimbursement of any realized losses and additional trust fund expenses allocated to the Class A-1, A-2, and A-M certificates; and (4) ultimate payment of principal by the assumed final distribution date for the underlying Class A-1, A-2, and A-M certificates. All classes will be subject to ongoing surveillance by DBRS Morningstar after the date of issuance. The ratings DBRS Morningstar assigns at issuance are based exclusively on the credit provided by the transaction structure and the underlying assets of FREMF 2020-K106 Mortgage Trust, Series 2020-K106 without regard to the Freddie Mac guarantee. DBRS Morningstar may take the Freddie Mac guarantee into consideration for future rating actions.

Classes X1 and XAM are interest-only (IO) certificates that reference a single rated tranche or multiple rated tranches. The IO rating mirrors the lowest-rated applicable reference obligation tranche adjusted upward by one notch if senior in the waterfall.

All ratings are subject to surveillance, which could result in ratings being upgraded, downgraded, placed under review, confirmed, or discontinued by DBRS Morningstar.
