We expected the markets to be cheered by this fresh move to settle the Irish debt crisis, but it proved not to be the case. The €85bn aid package was announced two days ago, but does not appear to have eased market jitters. Market operators continue to fear contagion of the Irish crisis to other eurozone countries with yawning budget deficits. This unexpected market reaction leaves us perplexed as to general spread trends for the coming days. 42 downgrades/rating watch changes 70 upgrades/rating watch changes Secondary market spreads Rating RMBS UK Spain Netherlands Italy Portugal Ireland German Auto Loans Italian Lease Spread Spread Spread WAL 26/11/10 W-1 W-4 AAA BBB AAA BBB AAA BBB AAA BBB AAA BBB AAA AAA AAA 139 618 318 1 808 135 403 136 727 324 1 218 656 76 252 141 618 322 1 790 137 421 143 727 319 1 248 661 75 249 138 503 314 1 788 135 522 159 713 314 1 164 523 70 243 W/W-4 change 2,9 5,0 7,0 7,2 2,5 4,5 3,5 8,1 8,2 10,0 8,6 1,0 1,2 2 114 4 20 0 -119 -23 14 10 53 133 7 9 In the RMBS market, BNP Paribas announced a tender offer on A classes belonging to the FTA/FTH UCI 8 to 15 issues, as well as on the A2 class notes of FTA UCI 16 and 17 issues. UCI is a Spanish originator co-owned by BNP Paribas and Santander. It is a mortgage lender specialising in borrowers with limited equity. As part of the tender (dubbed a "Dutch" tender), security holders offer BNP Paribas a buyback price. The French bank will subsequently be able to buy back the security or securities at the lowest price(s). Results of the tender are expected to be announced on 6 December. Securities backing the Hermes 5 transaction are set to be recalled at the next payment date in January 2011. The deal is an RMBS that was closed in 2002, with assets originated by SNS Bank in Holland. Interestingly, the A1 and A2 tranches of the Dutch RMBS Citadel 2010-I, closed and retained in July 2010, were placed with (the A1 notes) and offered to (the A2 notes) the market at margins of between 15bp and 20bp wider than their issue level.

That said, a slight widening trend emerged over the first three days of the week, for Dutch and UK RMBS. Prices indicated below illustrate the general trends and correspond to the week's main trades. In the Dutch RMBS market, the A2 tranche of Saecure 9 is trading at a price of 99.60/99.80, i.e., slightly down on the previous week. RMBS: Citadel 2010-I BV (F.

Spreads in Ireland finally remained stable even after news of an EU- and IMF- endorsed aid package, which the market had thought would prompt additional spread tightening.

Of the 3 tranches of issued notes, the AAA rated A tranche has a credit enhancement of 28%, of which 26.4% is provided by the subordinated of the other tranches, and 1.6% of which is a reserve fund. The deal has no revolving period. The portfolio will be composed of 71,705 auto loans originated by Carlyle Finance through car dealerships to finance the purchase of primarily used cars (89.4%) from all brands of vehicles sold in the UK. The biggest percentages of brands will be Ford (14%), Vauxhall (11.5%) and BMW (10%). The deal harbours an implicit residual value risk as around 90% of loans have a "voluntary termination" clause, the terms of which allow borrowers to return the vehicle once at least 50% of the loan has been paid off. The A and B classes, which are rated AAA/Aaa and A/Aa3 by Fitch and Moody's and have WALs of 0.88 and 2.36 years, will be marketed to the public. A deal roadshow is expected to kick off this week. No indicative issue margin has been disclosed as yet. Toyota Kreditbank announced its first European publicly marketed securitisation deal, KOROMO Compartment 1, relying on a €743m portfolio of German auto loans and leases (excluding residual values). Two tranches of notes will be issued, but only the first will be rated (Aaa by Moody's). Rumours of a public placement were heard last week, but it now appears likely that the notes will be retained. However, in their current state the notes cannot be used with the ECB as these deals need to have at least two ratings to procure ECB financing. CLOs Two Spanish CLO deals were announced in the past week. The first, TDA FTPYME Pastor 9 is a securitisation of €440m of loans granted by Banco Pastor to Spanish SMEs, 29% of which operate in the building sector. Two of the three tranches of notes will be rated Aaa (the A2 classe will be guaranteed by the Spanish government), and will have a credit enhancement of 44.78%, including a reserve fund of 15.8% (this unusual level is due to the fact that the deal does not have interest-rate hedging). The second transaction, Foncaixa Empresas 2 is a securitisation deal valued at around €1.85bn of loans extended by La Caixa to Spanish SMEs and corporates. A swap has been set up and guarantees a margin of 75bp. The loans are concentrated in the Madrid (30%) and Catalonia (28%) regions. Some 25% of the portfolio involves loans to building-sector companies. This will be a retained deal.

Comments: Citadel 2010-I is an existing transaction that closed on 2 July 2010, but whose issued notes were all retained. It is a Dutch RMBS with underlying assets originated by F. Van Lanschot Bankiers (the rating is set out in the table below). The bank is Holland's oldest independent bank and primarily targets upscale clients. It is owned by a number of Dutch financial institutions, with the biggest stakes held by Delta Lloyds (40.26%) and Friesland Bank (13.27%). The A1 tranche was privately placed in early November at a margin equivalent to 130bp. The A2 tranche was publicly marketed last week at an equivalent margin of 155bp (compared with 140bp at issue), i.e., a much wider level than similar notes of recent Dutch deals. These "equivalent" margin levels were obtained by selling the notes at a discounted price. Structure: Deal type: Assets have been transferred to an SPV by a true sale mechanism. The transaction is a static one (i.e., no revolving period). Credit enhancement: credit enhancement consists of subordination on the tranches and a 1% non-amortizable reserve fund financed by the issue of class E notes. Liquidity facility: The transaction also boasts a liquidity line equal to 1.25% of the notes, with a floor set at 0.5% of the initial amount of the notes (both percentages exclude the E class notes), which may be used to pay interest of the A and B class notes if needed, and interest on the C class only if the latter's PDL is zero. Provisioning: A PDL mechanism on the A and D notes was set up in the structure to record collateral losses. The available excess spread will be used to clear the PDLs and amortize the notes by this same amount. Interest-rate SWAP: With the swap, the issuer receives interest rate of the notes applied on a “notional” amount equal to the outstanding amount of the notes, less the PDLs. The issuer then pays the portfolio's theoretical interest to the swap counterparty (i.e., including theoretical interest on loans in arrears), less the senior costs, and less a 50bp excess margin on the "notional" amount. The excess margin can thus be wholly absorbed in the event of sizeable arrears to pay interest on in-arrears loans, in which case the structure will have no excess spread. Repayment of notes: The notes are amortized sequentially. Importantly, as of August 2015, the issuer can sell the collateral to repay the notes on any payment date. Commingling: This deal harbours a commingling risk owing to F. Van Lanschot Bankiers' rating (A-/F2 from Fitch and A-/A-2 from S&P) in its capacity as a collection agent. The bank retains the loan interest and principal on its books for one month before transferring them to the issuer's account. However, according to the rating agencies’ methodologies, current F. Van Lanschot Bankiers' rating forbids it to keep such amounts for this length of time. The risk is a default in the short term of F. Van Lanschot Bankiers which would result in the loss of a month's payments. That said, the risk has been taken into consideration by the rating agencies in their analysis and was factored into the required credit enhancement level. Set-off: The deal also harbours a set-off risk owing to the fact that numerous borrowers hold accounts (e.g., current, savings and investment accounts) with the originating bank. If the latter defaults, borrowers have the right to set off amounts accumulated in these accounts until a notification event (i.e., defined as a downgrade of the originator's rating to under BBB+) against the capital remaining on their mortgage loan. If the set-off amount is more than 10% of the collateral value, the issuer will have to create a dynamic set-off reserve for the equivalent amount in the structure. Rating agencies consider that if the rating is higher than the borrower's (i.e., assuming the borrower goes bankrupt), the structure would register a 10% loss caused by the set-off and therefore factored them into the credit enhancement level. The A1, A2 and B tranches - all three of which have ratings higher than the originator's - are therefore protected against set-off losses if these are less than or equal to 10% of the collateral. Collateral: At closing, the portfolio held 4,846 first-lien mortgage loans located in Holland, with the average loan amount standing at €269,821. The portfolio's main characteristics are set out in the table below. Original LTV Current LTV Seasoning (months) Current LTFV 79% 75% 61 85.6% Outstanding DTI Bullet repayment Investment fund repayment Life-insurance repayments 100% 79.2% 10.1% 9.4% Linear amortization Constant annuity amortization Borrower profile Fixed-rate loans 0.9% 0.4% unknown 71.4% DTI data and details on borrowers' professions have not been disclosed. However, one loan eligibility criterion stipulates that borrowers cannot be employees of the bank (which would be a risk if the bank defaulted). The properties are spread widely throughout Holland and are primarily located in urban areas. Conclusion: While this transaction boasts a portfolio of mortgage loans granted to "top-of-the-range" borrowers, it does harbour structural risks, the notable examples being commingling and set-off risks. Nonetheless, rating agencies have taken these into consideration when calculating the required credit enhancement levels. The risks, in most part connected to the originator's rating, have been passed on to margin levels, which are around 20 basis points higher than those found in other recent Dutch RMBS deals.
