Parties/Roles and Motivations Investment Banking Firm Creates Pool Special Servicer is Assigned Rating Agencies Bonds are Sold Loan Funded Bonds are rated: AAA AA A BBB BB B UR Bonds are rated: AAA AA A BBB BB B UR B piece owner becomes Controlling Class Certificate Holder “CCR” Borrower Investment Grade Lender “CCR” selects Special Servicer Non- Investment Grade “B pieces” Loan contributed to Pool Rated Master Servicer is assigned to Pool Lender may stay in as Primary Servicer
Current Dynamics at Play • The lowest rated bond holder is the CCR • Losses hit the lowest rated bonds • As losses occur, the CCR changes • As CCR changes, so can the special servicer AAA AA A BBB BB B UR
CMBS Special Servicers • Top 3 = 75% of business • Top 8 = 98 % of business
Servicing Standard • Servicing Standard- maximize return to all bond holders without regard to your own position and no benefit of 20/20 hindsight Pooling & Servicing Agreement
Primary Drivers in a Restructure • Market conditions • Maturity date of Loan • Loan size • Location of property • Property type • Will servicer get a better outcome with borrower or foreclosing • NPV calculation
Types of Restructures • Payment Modification • Where a modification of payment only results in positive net cash flow • A/B Note Restructure • Where recovery of the entire debt is likely before maturity of the note • Discounted Payoff • Where recovery of the debt is unlikely before maturity of the note • Loan Extension • Where loan is otherwise performing but mature
Note Sales • Live auction format • Borrower will not likely know auction is happening • Borrower can bid on own note • Benefit of note sales to special servicers • Motivation of note buyers
What It Takes To Have A Successful Restructure • Understand WHO you are negotiating with and what their drivers and motivations are • Know the “menu of options” for each special servicer • Present a well thought out, written plan in a timely manner to the special servicer • Ensure that you know the ultimate exit strategy for the asset • Have an experienced advocate on your side
