The AUD7.6 million of Class G-1 and Class G-2 Notes (together, the Class G Notes) are not rated by Moody's.

The transaction is a securitisation of first-ranking mortgage loans secured over residential properties located in Australia. The loans were originated and are serviced by RedZed Lending Solutions Pty Limited (RedZed, unrated).

The portfolio includes 96.4% of loans to self-employed borrowers. 94.8% were extended on alternative income documentation verification ('alt doc') basis; and, based on our classifications, 10.0% are to borrowers with adverse credit histories.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The provisional ratings take into account, among other factors, an evaluation of the underlying receivables and their expected performance, evaluation of the capital structure and credit enhancement provided to the notes, availability of excess spread over the life of the transaction, the liquidity facility in the amount of 1.5% of the notes balance, the legal structure, and the experience of RedZed as servicer.

Moody's MILAN CE -- representing the loss that Moody's expects the portfolio to suffer in the event of a severe recession scenario -- is 14.5%. Moody's expected loss for this transaction is 2.3%.

Key transactional features are as follows:

- While the Class A-2 Notes are subordinate to Class A-1-L Notes in relation to charge-offs, Class A-2 and Class A-1-L Notes rank pari passu in relation to principal payments, on the basis of their stated amounts, before the call option date. This feature reduces the absolute amount of credit enhancement available to the Class A-1-L Notes.
