The securitization is structured as a financing by REIT with the result being that both the mortgage loans and the debt represented by the notes remain on REIT’s balance sheet.

REIT used the proceeds from the securitization primarily to repay warehouse financing for the mortgage loans.

Lead manager for the transaction was Lehman Brothers, Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. acting as co-managers.
