Kroll Bond Rating Agency Assigns Final Ratings to UBS-BAMLL Trust 2012-WRM

Business Wire, Inc.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigned its final ratings to seven classes of UBS-BAMLL Trust 2012-WRM certificates issued in a $415.0 million CMBS large loan transaction. Concurrently, we have withdrawn our preliminary ratings on the certificates, which were assigned on June 18, 2012 (see our ratings listed below).

The transaction is collateralized by two non-recourse first lien mortgage loans; however the loans are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted. Each loan is secured by a super-regional mall that is owned and managed by <org value="ACORN:3480028636" idsrc="xmltag.org">Westfield America Inc. or its affiliates. The larger of the two loans has a balance of $275.0 million and is secured by the borrower’s fee simple and leasehold interests in 678,494 sf of Galleria at Roseville, a 1.3 million sf super-regional mall located in Roseville, California. The second loan has a balance of $140.0 million and is secured by the borrower’s fee simple interest in 616,591 sf of MainPlace Mall, a 1.1 million sf super-regional mall located in Santa Ana, California.

KBRA’s analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of each mall's cash flow using our CMBS Property Evaluation Guidelines and the application of our CMBS Single Borrower & Large Loan Rating Methodology. To value the properties, we selected capitalization rates of 8.0% and 8.75% for the Galleria at Roseville and MainPlace Mall, respectively. The results of our analysis yielded an aggregate KBRA Net Cash Flow (KNCF) of $51.4 million and KBRA value of $622.8 million. The resulting KBRA Loan to Value (KLTV) was 66.6% and the KBRA Debt Service Coverage during the term (KDSCt) was 2.88x. Our analysis of the transaction also included an evaluation of third party engineering and environmental reports, as well as our site inspections of the properties and their competitors.
