TEXT-Fitch maintains TDA CAM on watch negative

Oct 9 - Fitch Ratings has maintained 26 tranches of 11 TDA CAM transactions, a series of Spanish RMBS transactions on Rating Watch Negative (RWN). The full list of rating actions is below.

The notes were initially placed on RWN on 3 April 2012 following the downgrade of Confederacion Espanola de Cajas de Ahorros (CECA; 'BBB'/Negative/'F3'), which acts as the account bank, basis swap provider and agent in all 11 transactions. The RWN reflected Fitch's concern over the increased counterparty default exposure that the transactions had been subject to following the downgrade of the entity, which the management company, Titulizacion de Activos (TdA), was looking to resolve.

Following the downgrade of CECA in April 2012, the bank opened swap collateral accounts to mitigate the increased risk arising from the mismatch in interest earned on the TDA CAM 1-9 portfolios and the interest paid on the notes. The issuers also established guarantees with Instituto de Credito Oficial (ICO; 'BBB'/Negative/'F3') to mitigate the exposure of the 11 transactions to CECA as account bank. However, the downgrade of ICO in June 2012 means that the guarantees put in place are no longer deemed eligible under Fitch's structured finance counterparty criteria.

Fitch understands that the management company is looking to implement further remedial actions following the downgrade of ICO. Given the large number of structured finance transactions that have been affected by the most recent downgrades, the process is taking longer than anticipated by the remedial period defined in the transaction documentation. For this reason, the agency is maintaining the affected tranches of TDA CAM on RWN, and will look to resolve the RWN once more information is made available from TdA. The resolution of the RWN will depend upon the implementation of appropriate remedial actions, which could potentially lead to the affirmation of the notes, while failure to take such measures would trigger a multi-category downgrade of the notes.
