TRANSACTION SUMMARY

Anchorage Capital CLO 6, Ltd. and Anchorage Capital CLO 6, LLC (together, Anchorage 6) comprise an arbitrage cash flow collateralized loan obligation (CLO) that will be managed by Anchorage Capital Group, L.L.C. (Anchorage Capital). Net proceeds from the issuance of the secured and subordinated notes will be used to purchase a portfolio of approximately \$550 million of primarily senior secured leveraged loans. The CLO will have a four-year reinvestment period and a two-year noncall period.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Sufficient Credit Enhancement: Credit enhancement (CE) of 38.5% for class A-1 and A-2 (together, class A) notes, in addition to excess spread, is sufficient to protect against portfolio default and recovery rate projections in the 'AAAsf' stress scenario. The level of CE for the class A notes is higher than the average CE of recent CLO issuances.

'B/B-' Asset Quality: The average credit quality of the indicative portfolio is 'B/B-', which is comparable to recent CLOs. Issuers rated in the 'B' rating category denote relatively weak credit quality; however, in Fitch's opinion, class A notes are unlikely to be affected by the foreseeable level of defaults. The class A notes are robust against default rates of up to 67.9%.

Strong Recovery Expectations: The indicative portfolio consists of 99.1% senior secured loans, of which about 93.9% have strong recovery prospects or a Fitch-assigned recovery rating of 'RR2' or higher and the base case recovery assumption is 76.5%. In determining ratings for the class A notes, Fitch stressed the indicative portfolio by assuming a higher concentration of assets with lower recovery prospects and further reduced recovery assumptions for higher rating stresses resulting in a 36% recovery rate assumption in Fitch's 'AAAsf'.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Fitch evaluated the structure's sensitivity to the potential variability of key model assumptions, including decreases in recovery rates and increases in default rates or correlation. Fitch expects the class A notes to remain investment grade even under the most extreme sensitivity scenarios. Results under these sensitivity scenarios ranged between 'AA-sf' and 'AAAsf' for the class A notes.
