medium · Asset-Backed Securities

In a CLO, what typically happens when the overcollateralization test for the Class A notes fails?

  1. Cash otherwise available to junior claims is redirected through the waterfall to pay down Class A until the test cures.
  2. The collateral manager is automatically removed and every loan is sold immediately, regardless of market conditions.
  3. The Class A coupon resets to zero while all principal collections continue to be distributed to the equity tranche.
  4. Equity distributions accelerate while Class A principal payments stop until the collateral portfolio regains par value.
