OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings has affirmed 12 classes of RFC CDO 2007-1 (2007-1). Fitch has also withdrawn all ratings due to a lack of relevancy. A detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The CDO is significantly undercollateralized with liabilities exceeding collateral by approximately \\$400 million. All outstanding classes are also undercollateralized. Additionally, Fitch remains concerned over a default in the payment of timely interest given the significant hedge counterparty payments and the diminished amount of interest proceeds.

Over the past four years, interest proceeds have consistently been insufficient to pay the interest due on the timely classes and hedge counterparty payments. The asset manager has been liquidating assets to keep the CDO from defaulting. Since the last rating action, one asset was liquidated. Part of the proceeds was used to pay down classes A-2 and A-2R (by 0.3%).

As of June 2015 trustee report, there are 15 assets remaining in the pool. Per Fitch categorizations, commercial real estate loans (CREL) comprise approximately 59.7% of the collateral pool, including one whole loan (7.6%) and four B-notes (52%). Two of the CRELs (20.8%) have defaulted; three have been identified as Fitch loans of concern. Commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) represents 40.3% of the total collateral.

In its June 2015 rating action commentary, Fitch stated that it was considering withdrawing the ratings due to lack of relevance to the agency's coverage combined with commercial reasons. Fitch encouraged investors to contact the agency within 30 days if they had any interest in continued coverage of the transaction. Given that no investor indicated such an interest, Fitch is withdrawing the ratings today as they are no longer considered analytically meaningful.
