NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's) Dec. 19, 2007--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
today placed its ratings on 74 tranches from 15 U.S. cash flow and hybrid
collateralized debt obligations of asset-backed securities (CDO of ABS) on
CreditWatch with negative implications following the downgrade of 1,292
classes of U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) backed by U.S.
first-lien Alternative A (Alt-A) mortgage collateral. The 381 downgraded RMBS
Alt-A transactions were issued during 2005 and 2006 (see the related press
release, ?S&P Cuts 1,292 U.S. Alt-A RMBS Classes From 2005 And 2006,"
published, on Dec. 19, 2007 on RatingsDirect, and on Standard & Poor's Web
site at www.standardandpoors.com).
The CDO tranches with ratings placed on CreditWatch negative have a total
issuance amount of $5.18 billion, and all are from CDOs of ABS collateralized
by structured finance (SF) securities, including U.S. RMBS. The affected CDO
transactions were all issued in 2006 or 2007. Four of the affected CDO
transactions are high-grade SF CDOs of ABS collateralized at origination
primarily by 'AAA', 'AA', and some 'A' rated tranches of RMBS and other SF
securities). The other 11 CDOs are mezzanine SF CDOs of ABS collateralized by
'A' and 'BBB' rated tranches of RMBS and other SF securities.
For the mezzanine SF CDOs with ratings on CreditWatch, the exposure to the
downgraded Alt-A mortgage collateral ranges from 5.39% to 29.7% of the total
portfolio collateral held by the CDO, while the corresponding exposure for the
high-grade SF CDOs ranges from 2.03% to 8.7% of the total collateral.
Standard & Poor's is continuing its review of cash flow and hybrid CDO
transactions with exposure to downgraded RMBS and will take action on the CDO
ratings where appropriate.
