AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · STRATS(SM) Trust for Allstate Corp Securities, Series 2006-3 (GJT)

STRATS Allstate 2006-3 (GJT) certificates lose S&P rating; price may fall

Negative Impact 3 of 5 legal/regulatory Written later

S&P withdrew its rating on the Floating Rate Structured Repackaged Asset-Backed Trust Securities issued by the STRATS Trust for Allstate Corporation Securities Series 2006-3, citing a methodology update for repackaged securities. The filing says the rating withdrawal does not terminate the certificates or the swap agreement, but it may hurt the secondary market price and liquidity of the certificates, since some institutional investors must hold rated securities.

Key points

  • S&P announced the rating methodology update on October 18, 2012, effective immediately.
  • S&P announced the withdrawal of the certificates' rating on October 25, 2012.
  • S&P cited possible payment shortfalls to holders if a redemption and swap termination payments to the Swap Counterparty occur together.
  • The filing states the withdrawal is not a termination event, but holders may be unable to sell at prices they paid or find a buyer.
