hard · Asset-Backed Securities
In a subprime auto ABS transaction (e.g., Autumn Finance 2026-A), the 'Overcollateralization (OC) Build' phase is active for the first 6 months.
If cumulative net losses (CNL) reach 1.5% in month 5, exceeding the trigger threshold of 1.2%, what is the impact on the waterfall?
- The OC target is increased, and all excess spread is diverted to pay down senior bonds until the new target is met.
- The transaction enters 'Rapid Amortization,' and the servicer is terminated.
- The reserve account is fully released to the subordinate bondholders.
- The residual holder receives a 'catch-up' payment for all missed distributions.
