Fitch Rates Tender Option Bond Series 2016-XM0223 Trust

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

--Floater Certificates, Series 2016-XM0223 'AA/F1', Negative Outlook;

--Residual Certificates, Series 2016-XM0223 'AA', Negative Outlook.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The long-term 'AA', Negative Outlook ratings assigned to the Floater and Residual Certificates are based on the rating that Fitch has assigned to Michigan Finance Authority Hospital Revenue and Refunding Bonds (Trinity Health Credit Group) Series 2016MI, term bonds (rated 'AA', Negative Outlook) that have been deposited in the 2016-XM0223 trust.

The short-term 'F1' ratings assigned to the Floater Certificates are based on the liquidity facility provided by Citibank, N.A. (rated 'A+/F1', Stable Outlook), which has a stated expiration date of May 15, 2017, unless such date is extended or earlier terminated.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The short-term rating assigned to the Floater Certificates 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 and Residual Certificates are exclusively tied to the creditworthiness of the underlying bonds deposited in the trust and will reflect all changes to such rating.
