medium · Corporate Credit Analysis distressed

In an ABS structure, if the 'Overcollateralization' (OC) test fails, what is the most common consequence in the cash flow waterfall?

  1. The interest rates on all senior and subordinate tranches are increased to compensate for the pool's risk.
  2. The residual equity holder receives an accelerated 'catch-up' distribution to preserve their percentage ownership.
  3. The originator, under the servicing agreement, must immediately repurchase every delinquent loan remaining in the pool.
  4. Excess spread is diverted to pay down the principal of the most senior tranches until the OC ratio is restored.
