- 5 /10/2016 Latest Announcement - (News ID : 2016051000026) RAM Ratings has assigned preliminary AAA/Stable and AA3/Stable ratings to Al Dzahab Assets Berhad's (the Issuer) RM[95.0] million Class A Sukuk and RM[25.0] million Class B Sukuk, respectively. This is the first issuance under Al Dzahab's RM[900.0] million Sukuk Murabahah AssetBacked Securitisation Programme (the Programme). The issuance will be collateralised by personalfinancing (PF) facilities originated by RCE Marketing Sdn Bhd (RCEM) through its business partners and extended to civil servants. These facilities are repaid via nondiscretionary salary deductions processed by the Accountant General's Department and Angkatan Koperasi Kebangsaan Malaysia Berhad, thereby substantially insulating the transaction from the credit risks of the borrowers as long as they remain in active service. Our cashflow assessment indicates that the underlying portfolio will be able to meet full and timely payment of the financial obligations of Tranche 1 under respective ''AAA stress'' and ''AA3 stress'' scenarios for the Class A and Class B Sukuk. The RM[95.0] million Class A Sukuk and RM[25.0] million Class B Sukuk will be backed by receivables with an outstanding principal value of RM[148.6] million and RM[3.4] million of cash balances, translating into respective overcollateralisation ratios of [59.95]% and [26.63]%. Given the underlying portfolio's weightedaverage (WA) seasoning of only [1.03] years against a WA original tenure of [9.83] years, however, the actual performance of the portfolio as it seasons may deviate from our cashflow assumptions. Furthermore, the historical data reflect a benign period for the industry as a result of regulatory changes. The transaction structure prioritises the financial obligations in respect of the Class A and Class B Sukuk. Profit on the unrated Class C Sukuk are payable only after the full redemption of the rated classes. The minimum required balance in the Finance Service Reserve Account can only be utilised to top up any shortfall in meeting the profit obligations visàvis the rated sukuk. In relation to Tranche 1, the Issuer will pay fixed servicer fees without any servicer commission or bonus. Nonetheless, we opine that RCEM (as the Servicer) is sufficiently ''incentivised'' to uphold its responsibilities in relation to Tranche 1, as the Programme remains a longterm source of funding for the RCE Group. We also derive comfort from the knowledge that RCEM has been providing and servicing PF facilities for more than 10 years, and this transaction marks its fourth venture into the private debt market. Al Dzahab is a specialpurpose vehicle incorporated to undertake the securitisation of receivables originated through the business partners of RCEM. Under the Programme, the Issuer will, from time to time, issue sukuk to fund its acquisition of PF portfolios. Stopissuance trigger events prohibit further issuance under the Programme should the Servicer's ability to perform its obligations including servicing the PF facilities become impaired. The final ratings will be assigned after RAM's satisfactory review of the finalised transaction documents and the relevant legal and tax opinions, and also after our validation of the assumptions employed in this transaction. Media contact Daniel Wong (603) 7628 1172 danielwong@ram.com.my The credit rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold a security, inasmuch as it does not comment on the security's market price or its suitability for a particular investor, nor does it involve any audit by RAM Ratings. The credit rating also does not reflect the legality and enforceability of financial obligations. RAM Ratings receives compensation for its rating services, normally paid by the issuers of such securities or the rated entity, and sometimes third parties participating in marketing the securities, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, underwriters, etc. The receipt of this compensation has no influence on RAM Ratings' credit opinions or other analytical processes. In all instances, RAM Ratings is committed to preserving the objectivity, integrity and independence of its ratings. Rating fees are communicated to clients prior to the issuance of rating opinions. While RAM Ratings reserves the right to disseminate the ratings, it receives no payment for doing so, except for subscriptions to its publications. Similarly, the disclaimers above also apply to RAM Ratings' creditrelated analyses and commentaries, where relevant.
