hard · Asset-Backed Securities
In a CMBS conduit deal, a major $100M hotel loan (10% of pool) defaults. The Special Servicer obtains a new appraisal showing the property is worth $70M.
If the structure includes 'Appraisal Reduction Amount' (ARA) mechanics, what is the immediate impact on the trust's monthly distribution?
- The senior AAA bonds are immediately written down by $30M.
- The loan is automatically sold at the appraised value of $70M.
- Servicer advances for interest are reduced based on the $30M loss estimate.
- The $30M shortfall is covered by the reserve account first.
