Fitch Affirms CSFB 1999-C1

May 27, 2015 4:07 PM EDT

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fitch Ratings has affirmed four classes of Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp. (CSFB) commercial mortgage pass-through certificates series 1999-C1. A detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The affirmation of class G reflects defeased collateral, which is sufficient to pay off the class. The class was not upgraded due to the possibility that losses from the one specially serviced loan could cause significant interest shortfalls in the future.

Of the original 153 loans, only three remain. One loan (23.3%) is in special servicing and the other two loans (76.8%) are defeased with maturity dates in March 2019.

As of the May 2015 distribution date, the pool's aggregate principal balance has been reduced by 97.4% to $30.1 million from $1.17 billion at issuance. There has been $82.3 million (4.8% of the original pool balance) in realized losses to date. Interest shortfalls are currently affecting classes H through O.

The specially serviced loan (23.3%) is secured by a 129,293 square foot office building located in Parsippany, NJ. The loan transferred to the special servicer in June 2013 due to imminent default, primarily the result of vacancy issues. The property's largest tenant (52% of GLA) subsequently vacated in December 2013. Current occupancy is approximately 18%. There is a receiver in place and counsel for the special servicer is moving forward with foreclosure, which is expected to take place in June 2015.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The Rating Outlook on class G remains Stable as the class is fully covered by defeased collateral. An upgrade is possible in the future if the specially serviced loan is disposed for better than anticipated recovery. Conversely, a downgrade may be possible if the loan suffers a worse than anticipated recovery causing significant interest shortfalls to class G.

No third party due diligence was provided or reviewed in relation to this rating action.
