Settlement Implementation

On October 13, 2015 the Trustee informed the holders and beneficial owners (“Investors”) of the certificates or notes issued by the 530 residential mortgage-backed securitization trusts listed in Exhibit A to the Countrywide Settlement Agreement1 (the “Settlement Trusts”) that the “Approval Date” under the Countrywide Settlement Agreement has occurred on October 13, 2015 (see Notice concerning the occurrence of the “Approval Date” under the Settlement Agreement). In addition, on January 11, 2016 the Trustee informed Investors of the Allocable Shares of the Settlement Trusts (or, if applicable, Loan Groups therein), as calculated by National Economic Research Associates, Inc. (the “Expert”) pursuant to Subparagraph 3(c) of the Countrywide Settlement Agreement (see Notice concerning Expert’s calculation of the Net Loss Percentages and Allocable Shares of the Settlement Trusts).

In connection with the implementation of the Countrywide Settlement Agreement, the Trustee will provide in this part of this website additional information concerning the implementation of the Countrywide Settlement Agreement from time to time.

  1. As of the Approval Date, Bank of America and Countrywide did not exercise their option under Subparagraph 3(d)(iv) of the Countrywide Settlement Agreement to exclude certain Settlement Trusts from the Countrywide Settlement Agreement. In accordance with the terms of Subparagraph 3(d)(iv) of the Countrywide Settlement Agreement, the foregoing option expired on the Approval Date. Therefore, all 530 Settlement Trusts are entitled to receive their respective Allocable Share of the Settlement Payment as calculated by the Expert.

  4. Pursuant to the Partial Final Judgment, the Trustee expects to distribute to Investors in each Initial Release Trust, on such Initial Release Trust’s regular distribution date or payment date in June 2016, the proportionate share of such Initial Release Trust (or, if applicable, of each Loan Group therein) of the Available Escrow Liquidation Proceeds (which, as defined in the Partial Final Judgment, is an amount equal to the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of the Allocable Shares of the Initial Release Trusts (or, if applicable, the Loan Groups therein) plus (b) the escrow investment earnings thereon).
