TEXT-S&P corrects Merrill Lynch Mortgage Investors 2005-HE3 rating

(The following statement was released by the rating agency)

Oct 12 - Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today corrected its rating on class A-2B from Merrill Lynch Mortgage Investors Trust's series 2005-HE3 by reinstating the 'A (sf)' rating and placing the rating on CreditWatch developing (see list). We placed the rating on CreditWatch developing due to our recently revised criteria for surveilling pre-2009 U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) ratings. We place our ratings on CreditWatch developing in situations where we may ultimately raise, lower, or affirm a rating. Our preliminary analysis indicates that the revised rating will be approximately the same as the current rating, but may move slightly either up or down.

On Aug. 25, 2011, we incorrectly withdrew our rating on class A-2B due to an error.
