DBRS Morningstar Confirms Ratings on the Series 2016-1 Notes Issued by LStreet II, LLC

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed its ratings of AA (sf) on each of the Series 2016-1 Class A-1 Notes, Series 2016-1 Class A-2 Notes, and the Series 2016-1 Class A-3 Notes (collectively, the Series 2016-1 Class A Notes), issued by LStreet II, LLC (the Issuer) pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Series 2016-1 Supplement, dated as of April 21, 2020, which was entered into between LStreet II, LLC as Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as Trustee.

The Series 2016-1 transaction of the Issuer consists of the Series 2016-1 Class A Notes, as well as the unrated Series 2016-1 Deferrable Notes.

The Series 2016-1 Class A Notes are collateralized by the Class A-1A and Class A-1B Notes of Monroe Harbor CDO 2005-1, Ltd., which is itself collateralized by a pool of subprime and Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities.

The ratings address (1) the likelihood of the Series 2016-1 Class A Noteholders receiving all principal distributions to which such noteholders are entitled and (2) the likelihood of the Series 2016-1 Class A Noteholders receiving the amount of Series 2016-1 Class A Interest to which such noteholders are entitled in each case, to the extent payable to the Series 2016-1 Class A Notes in accordance with the priorities of payment outlined in the Amended and Restated Series 2016-1 Supplement to the Base Indenture on or before the Final Maturity Date in December 2040.

For the avoidance of doubt, the ratings on the Series 2016-1 Class A Notes address the ultimate payment of the Series 2016-1 Class A Principal and the timely payment of the Series 2016-1 Class A Interest (three-month Libor plus 0.25% per annum). The DBRS Morningstar ratings do not address any other amounts that may be paid to the Series 2016-1 Class A Noteholders, including, but not limited to, the Series 2016-1 Class A Notes Additional Amount.
