August 19, 2022

DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) conducted its surveillance review of 32 classes from eight Freddie Mac commercial mortgage-backed security (CMBS) transactions and 24 classes from eight Freddie Mac Structured Pass-Through Certificate transactions. DBRS Morningstar confirmed its ratings on all 56 classes across the 16 transactions. The rating confirmations reflect the overall stable performances of the transactions, which have generally remained in line with DBRS Morningstar's expectations at issuance. All trends are Stable.

The full listing of the ratings of the classes in these transactions can be found at the end of this press release.

There are 465 loans secured across the 16 recent vintage Freddie Mac CMBS transactions with an aggregate balance of $10.03 billion as of the June 2022 reporting. No loans are in special servicing, are delinquent, or have defeased. There are 14 loans (2.9% of the aggregate outstanding balance) on the servicer's watchlist for a variety of reasons, including deferred maintenance as well as declines in debt service coverage ratios and occupancy at the subject properties.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, GOVERNANCE CONSIDERATIONS
There were no Environmental/Social/Governance factors that had a significant or relevant effect on the credit analysis.
