In December 2014, Phoenix Light SF Limited (Phoenix Light) and certain related entities filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging claims against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee for a number of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) trusts. Complaints raising similar allegations have been filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York and by IKB International and IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York state court. In each case, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, caused losses to investors, and plaintiffs assert causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. In July 2022, the district court dismissed Phoenix Light’s claims and certain of the claims asserted by Commerzbank AG, and subsequently entered judgment in each case in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. In August 2022, Phoenix Light and Commerzbank AG appealed the district court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company previously settled two class actions filed by institutional investors and an action filed by the National Credit Union Administration with similar allegations. In addition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filed substantially similar lawsuits in New York state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, failed to take appropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgage loan documentation.

Item 1119 of Regulation AB

Provided previously in the prospectus of the Registrant relating to the issuing entity and filed on March 20, 2018 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 1122 of Regulation AB

The reports on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria for asset-backed securities and related attestation reports are attached hereto under Item 15.

 

The report on assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) discloses that a material instance of noncompliance occurred, as described below: 

1) Servicing Criteria impacted 

1122(d)(4)(ix) –Adjustments to interest rates or rates of return for pool assets with variable rates are computed based on the related pool asset documents. 

2) Material Instance of Noncompliance with Servicing Criteria 

During compliance testing, it was discovered, that not all FlexARM loan mortgagors were offered loan rates within 45-60 days before the rate change date, as required per the related pool asset documents. Per the Note, if the holder fails to offer a loan rate within 45-60 days of any change date a margin of 2.25% is to be used. Given the notification was not made to the borrowers, a 3% margin was incorrectly applied. The noncompliance in Item 1122 (d)(4)(ix) is related to a servicing portfolio which is wholly owned by the investor and is not held in a publicly traded security. 

3) Remediation 

The following remediation procedures have been initiated by KeyBank: (i) the impacted mortgage loans are currently in the process of being identified, (ii) investor contact has been initiated, (iii) corrective actions are being considered and will be tracked and monitored by senior management, (iv) procedures will be reviewed and revised, if necessary, to include new tracking and action steps to prevent this situation from recurring in the future, and (v) training will be provided to the relevant staff members to prevent a recurrence. 

The identified material instance of noncompliance with servicing criteria did not involve the servicing of the assets backing the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 10-K. 

Item 1123 of Regulation AB

The servicer compliance statements are attached hereto under Item 15.
