Fitch Downgrades One Class of BALL 2009-UBER2

September 17, 2015 5:58 PM EDT

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fitch Ratings has downgraded one class and affirmed 10 classes of Bank of America Large Loan, Inc. (BALL) commercial mortgage certificate-backed certificates series 2009-UBER2. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this ratings action commentary.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The downgrade reflects Fitch's analysis of the underlying A-4B bond of the CMLT 2008-LS1 transaction, which serves as collateral for the subordinate stand alone A-4B-5 re-REMIC bond. The underlying A-4B bond credit characteristics have deteriorated due to an increase in expected losses on the specially serviced loans. Credit characteristics are now consistent with 'A'.

This transaction is a resecuritization of the ownership interest in nine commercial mortgage-backed certificates. The transaction consists of two pooled senior re-REMIC bond groups backed by five underlying transactions each, one senior re-REMIC bond backed by one underlying transaction and nine subordinate standalone re-REMIC bonds backed by nine separate underlying transactions.

Of the Re-REMIC transaction's nine underlying bonds, six (BSCM 2007-PWR15 A-4, JPMC 2007-LDP11 A-4, WBCMT 2007-C33 A-4, CMLT 2008-LS1 A-4B, LBCMT 2007-C3 A-4, and MSCI 2007-IQ14 A-4) are not rated by Fitch and three (MSCI 2007-HQ13 A-3, BACM 2007-2 A-4 and BACM 2007-3 A-4) are rated by Fitch. For purposes of this review, the non-rated transactions were re-analyzed adhering to the criteria from U.S. Fixed-Rate Multiborrower CMBS Surveillance and Re-REMIC Criteria.

The resecuritizations balance has been reduced to $284.23 million from $303.23 million due to partial principal paydown for five of the underlying transactions (BSCM2007-PW15 A-4, BACM 2007-3 A-4, WBCMT 2007-C33 A-4, CMLT 2008-LS1 A-4B, and LBCMT 2007-C3 A-4) supporting the senior classes (A-4A-A, A-4A-B and A-4A-C). Credit enhancement for the senior classes A-4A-A, A-4A-B and A-4A-C are approximately 50% and are provided by the underlying bonds and subordinate certificates. The subordinate A-4B-1 through the A-4B-9 classes each have approximately 30% credit enhancement provided by the structural support of the underlying transactions. Losses on any mortgage loan will be allocated first to the lowest rated class of the mortgage loan's respective series. A potential risk posed by the unpooled junior series is that the pooled senior classes may experience losses while other loan-specific junior series classes remain outstanding.

The following commercial mortgage-backed securities, in order of size, are collateral for the re-REMIC securities:

--Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2007-PWR15: 6.9% interest in the class A-4, in the amount of $56,830,950. This transaction was not rated by Fitch.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The Rating Outlooks on classes A-4A-B and class A-4B-7 were revised to Stable, which reflects continued principal paydown on the underlying transactions, as well as better recoveries than Fitch previously expected on loans liquidated in the underlying pools. In addition the revised Outlooks reflect a reduced risk for future interest shortfalls on the re-REMIC classes. The Outlook for the underlying security for class A-4B-7 re-REMIC bond was revised to Stable from Negative at Fitch's most recent review of the MSCI 2007-HQ13 transaction on April 2, 2015.
