Kroll Bond Rating Agency Assigns Preliminary Ratings to SCF RC Funding I LLC and SCF RC Funding II LLC, Series 2016-1

NEW YORK--()--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to two classes of net-lease mortgage notes, series 2016-1 (the “Notes”) issued by SCF RC Funding I LLC & SCF RC Funding II LLC.

This transaction will be the first series issued by SCF RC Funding I LLC and SCF RC Funding II LLC within the master trust, which will be secured by fee title to, or leasehold interest in ground leases on, 256 commercial real estate properties, the leases related to such properties and all payments required thereunder. The portfolio has an aggregate collateral value of approximately $351.7 million as of September 2016.

This transaction will represent the first securitization for SCF Realty Capital LLC (“SCF RC”, the “Property Manager” or the “Company”). SCF RC is the real estate division of Stonebriar Commercial Finance. The Company’s main focus is on the origination of single-tenant, triple-net leased, operationally essential real estate across a variety of industries.

The transaction will benefit from sufficient credit support, along with a dynamic transaction structure that accelerates principal payments to the noteholders upon the weakening of collateral performance. Such structural features include cash sweep conditions and servicer replacement events as further described in the SCF RC Funding I LLC & SCF RC Funding II LLC Presale Report.

KBRA analyzed the transaction using KBRA’s General Rating Methodology for Asset-Backed Securities published on July 30, 2012 as well as principals from its CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology published on December 3, 2015.
