November 22, 2019

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed the ratings of the Series 2016-5 Class A-1 Notes and the Series 2016-5 Class A-2 Notes (together, the Series 2016-5 Class A Notes) issued by LStreet II, LLC at AA (sf).

The Series 2016-5 Notes consist of the Series 2016-5 Class A Notes and the unrated Series 2016-5 Class B Deferrable Notes.

The Series 2016-5 Class A Notes are collateralized by the Class A-1LT-a and the Class A-1LT-b Notes of Davis Square Funding III, Ltd., which is itself collateralized by a pool of subprime and Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities.

The ratings address (1) the likelihood of the Series 2016-5 Class A Noteholders receiving all principal distributions to which such Noteholders are entitled and (2) the likelihood of the Series 2016-5 Class A Noteholders receiving the amount of Series 2016-5 Class A Interest to which such Noteholders are entitled in each case, to the extent payable to the Series 2016-5 Class A Notes in accordance with the priorities of payment outlined in the Amended and Restated Series 2016-5 Supplement to the Base Indenture on or before the Final Maturity Date in November 2039.

For the avoidance of doubt, the ratings on the 2016-5 Class A Notes address the ultimate payment of Series 2016-5 Class A Principal and the timely payment of Series 2016-5 Class A Interest (three-month LIBOR plus 0.365% per annum). The DBRS Morningstar ratings do not address any other amounts that may be paid to the Series 2016-5 Class A Noteholders, including, but not limited to, the Series 2016-5 Class A Additional Amount.
