OREANDA-NEWS. April 13, 2016. Fitch Ratings takes various rating actions on Marriott Vacation Club Owner Trust 2012-1. A full list of rating actions follows at the end of this release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmation of the class A notes and upgrade of the class B notes reflects loss coverage levels and multiples consistent with 'AAsf' and 'Asf' ratings. Delinquency and loss performance has been within Fitch's initial expectations and loss coverage has increased since close. The Stable Outlook for both classes reflects Fitch's expectation that loss coverage levels will remain supportive of these ratings.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults could produce loss levels higher than current expectations and impact available loss coverage. Lower loss coverage could impact ratings and Rating Outlooks, depending on the extent of the decline in coverage.

To date, the transaction has exhibited performance within Fitch's initial expectations and loss coverage has increased since close. Due to the growth in credit enhancement levels and loss coverage afforded to the notes, a substantial increase in defaults would have to occur to have a negative impact on the updated ratings.
