In a CLO (Collateralized Loan Obligation), if an Overcollateralization (OC) test fails, what is the mandatory structural remedy?

  1. The equity holders are required to provide a 'cash call' to the trust to replenish the collateral balance.
  2. The senior-most tranche is automatically downgraded by the rating agency to reflect the lack of asset coverage.
  3. Interest cash flows that would have gone to the equity and junior tranches are diverted to pay down the principal of the senior-most bonds.
  4. The collateral manager must sell all 'CCC' rated loans immediately and replace them with 'B' rated loans.
