DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) discontinued its ratings on each of the Series 2016-8 Class A-1 Notes, the Series 2016-8 Class A-2 Notes, and the Series 2016-8 Class A-3 Notes (collectively, the Series 2016-8 Class A Notes), issued by LStreet II, LLC (the Issuer) pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Series 2016-8 Supplement dated as of May 11, 2020, which was entered into between LStreet II, LLC as Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as Trustee.

RATING RATIONALE

The rating action is the result of the full repayment of principal and interest of the Series 2016-8 Class A Notes. The DBRS Morningstar ratings did not address any other amounts that may be paid to the Class A Noteholders, including, but not limited to, the Series 2016-8 Class A Additional Amount.

The Series 2016-8 Class A Notes were collateralized by the Class A-1 Notes of Davis Square Funding V, Ltd., which is itself collateralized by a pool of subprime and Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized loan obligations.

The transaction assumptions consider DBRS Morningstar’s baseline macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in its commentary “Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios for Rated Sovereigns: September 2022 Update,” published on September 19, 2022 (https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/402907/). These baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace DBRS Morningstar’s moderate and adverse COVID-19 pandemic scenarios, which were first published in April 2020.
