NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--Fitch Ratings has downgraded two and affirmed three classes of notes issued byBlue Heron Funding VI, Ltd. (Blue Heron VI) as follows: --$975,573,547 class A-1 notes downgraded to 'CCC' from 'BBB-'; --$25,000,000 class A-2 notes downgraded to 'CC' from 'B'; --EUR89,936,000 (USD equivalent $105,000,000) class B notes affirmed at 'C'; --EUR89,936,000 (USD equivalent $105,000,000) class B additional interestaffirmed at 'C' (interest only); --$6,250,000 certificates affirmed at 'AAA' (principal only). Additionally, Fitch has removed class A-1 and A-2 notes from Rating WatchNegative. The notes were not assigned Rating Outlooks as Fitch does not assignRating Outlooks to classes rated 'CCC' or below. These rating actions are a result of the continued credit deterioration of theportfolio since the last review in May 2008. Approximately 27.4% of theportfolio is rated below investment grade, of which 16.1% is rated 'CCC' andlower compared to 13.6% rated below investment grade in May 2008. The class A overcollateralization ratio of 93.2% is failing its covenant of 102%and continues to redirect interest proceeds that would otherwise pay interest toclass B to pay down the class A-1 notes.
The class A-1 notes have paid offapproximately 12.4% since closing. Fitch has downgraded this class to 'CCC' asthis is a better reflection of the risk to these notes due to the deteriorationof the portfolio. The downgrade also reflects the notes exposure to interestrate risk, as all notes have a floating-rate coupon while over 40% of assets paya fixed-rate coupon and no interest rate swap exists. The class A-2 notes aredowngraded to 'CC' as they continue to receive interest but Fitch does notanticipate future principal payments. The rating assigned to the certificates is based on the rating of thecertificate protection asset, which is comprised of U.S government-backedResolution Funding Corp zero-coupon bonds.
