Fitch Rates Tender Option Bond Series 2015-XM0006 and 2015-XM0007 Trusts

April 30, 2015 11:35 AM EDT

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fitch Ratings assigns the following ratings to the Puttable Floating Rate Receipts (Floater Receipts) and Inverse Floating Rate Receipts (Residual Receipts) of the Tender Option Bond Trust series listed below:

--Floater Receipts, Series 2015-XM0006 - 'AA+/F1', Stable Outlook; Residual Receipts, Series 2015-XM0006 - 'AA+', Stable Outlook;

--Floater Receipts, Series 2015-XM0007 - 'AA+/F1', Stable Outlook; Residual Receipts, Series 2015-XM0007 - 'AA+', Stable Outlook.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The long-term 'AA+', Stable Outlook ratings assigned to the series 2015-XM0006 Floater Receipts and series 2015-XM0006 Residual Receipts are based on the ratings that Fitch has assigned to City of Orlando, Florida Contract Tourist Development Tax Payments Revenue Bonds, Series 2014A (rated 'AA+', Stable Outlook) that have been deposited in the series 2015-XM0006 trust.

The long-term 'AA+', Stable Outlook ratings assigned to the series 2015-XM0007 Floater Receipts and series 2015-XM0007 Residual Receipts are based on the ratings that Fitch has assigned to The Regents of the University of Colorado Tax-Exempt University Enterprise Revenue Bonds, Series 2014A (rated 'AA+', Stable Outlook) that have been deposited in the series 2015-XM0007 trust.

The short-term 'F1' rating assigned to all the Floater Receipts is based on the liquidity facilities provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (rated 'A+/F1', Stable Outlook). The 'F1' rating assigned to the Floater Receipts will expire on April 15, 2016, the expiration date of the liquidity facilities unless such date is extended or earlier terminated.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The short-term rating assigned to the Floater Receipts reflects the short-term rating that Fitch maintains on the bank providing liquidity support and will be adjusted upward or downward in conjunction with the short-term rating of the bank, and, in some cases, the long-term rating of the underlying bonds deposited in the trust. The long-term ratings assigned to the Floater Receipts and Residual Receipts are exclusively tied to the creditworthiness of the underlying bonds deposited in the trust and will reflect all changes to that rating.
