KHAMSIN CREDIT: Moody's Cuts Rating to B3 on Series 6 Notes
Moody's Investors Service downgraded to B3 from Aaa and left under review for further downgrade the Series 6 US$55,625,000 Leveraged Super Senior Portfolio Credit Linked Notes due 2041 issued by Khamsin Credit Products (Netherlands) B.V. Approximately US$12 million of the original nominal value has already amortized.
This transaction is a Leveraged Super-Senior transaction, where the risk transferred to investors is linked to the credit quality of the portfolio underlying the Class A US$890,000,000 Blue Heron Funding II Notes. This portfolio is made of Structured Finance securities, including CDOs of ABS and U.S. subprime RMBS. This LSS has a Weighted Average Rating Factor test which has been breached following several severe downgrades in the underlying portfolio. As a result of this test breach, the Noteholders have the option to delever the transaction by investing further monies. In the event the Noteholders do not delever, the transaction will unwind resulting in all likelihood in a 100% loss of the remaining principal balance.
