OREANDA-NEWS. Fitch Ratings assigns the following ratings to Treman Park CLO, Ltd./LLC:

--\$390,000,000 class A notes 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable.

Fitch does not rate the class B-1, B-2, C-1, C-2, D, E notes or the subordinated notes.

TRANSACTION SUMMARY

Treman Park CLO, Ltd. (the issuer) and Treman Park CLO, LLC (the co-issuer) together comprise an arbitrage cash flow collateralized loan obligation (CLO) that will be managed by GSO/Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC (GSO). Net proceeds from the issuance of the secured and subordinated notes will be used to purchase a portfolio of approximately \$600 million of primarily senior secured leveraged loans. The CLO will have an approximately four-year reinvestment period and 1.5-year noncall period.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Sufficient Credit Enhancement: Credit enhancement (CE) of 35% for the class A notes, in addition to excess spread, is sufficient to protect against portfolio default and recovery rate projections in a 'AAAsf' stress scenario. The degree of CE available to the class A notes is lower than the average CE of recent CLO issuances; however, cash flow modeling indicates performance in line with other 'AAAsf' CLO notes.

'B' Asset Quality: The average credit quality of the indicative portfolio is 'B', which is comparable to recent CLOs. Issuers rated in the 'B' rating category denote a highly speculative credit quality; however, in Fitch's opinion, class A notes are unlikely to be affected by the foreseeable level of defaults. Class A notes are projected to be able to withstand default rates of up to 57.4%.

Strong Recovery Expectations: The indicative portfolio consists of 95.3% first lien loans. Approximately 88.4% of the indicative portfolio has strong recovery prospects or a Fitch-assigned recovery rating of 'RR2' or higher, and the base case recovery assumption is 74.5%. In determining the class A note rating, Fitch stressed the indicative portfolio by assuming a higher portfolio concentration of assets with lower recovery prospects and further reduced recovery assumptions for higher rating stress scenarios, resulting in a 35.5% recovery rate in Fitch's 'AAAsf' scenario.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Fitch evaluated the structure's sensitivity to the potential variability of key model assumptions, including decreases in recovery rates and increases in default rates or correlation. Fitch expects the class A notes to remain investment grade, even under the most extreme sensitivity scenarios. Results under these sensitivity scenarios ranged between 'BBB+sf' and 'AAAsf' for the class A notes.
