Fitch does not rate the $44,551,824 class G.

The certificates represent the beneficial ownership interest in the trust, primary assets of which are 81 loans secured by 122 commercial properties having an aggregate principal balance of approximately $1.485 billion as of the cutoff date. The loans were contributed to the trust by UBS Real Estate Securities, Inc., Barclays Bank PLC, General Electric Capital Corp., KeyBank, N.A., Archetype Mortgage Funding I LLC, RAIT Partnership, LP, and The Bancorp Bank.

Fitch reviewed a comprehensive sample of the transaction's collateral, including site inspections on 77.9% of the properties by balance, cash flow analysis of 85.2%, and asset summary reviews on 85.2% of the pool.

Key Rating Drivers

Fitch Leverage: This transaction has slightly lower leverage relative to previously rated deals, with a Fitch Ratings stressed DSCR of 1.45x and a Fitch stressed LTV of 95.8%. The average 2012 Fitch DSCR and LTV were 1.24x and 97.1%, respectively. The average 2011 Fitch DSCR and LTV were 1.25x and 91.6%, respectively.

Geographic Concentration: The deal is geographically concentrated with California representing 36.7% of the pool; however, the largest two loans, comprising 27.6% of the pool, are secured by malls in California with good sales psf and Fitch LTVs of 82.3% and 87.1%.

Loan Concentration: The top 10 loans account for 58.2%; the LCI and SCI are 577 and 1003, respectively. This represents slightly higher top 10 loan concentration than most 2012 transactions; however, the sponsor concentration is notably higher, with the top two loans having a related sponsor and accounting for 27.6% of the pool.

Additional Debt: One loan (5.1%) has in-place mezzanine debt and one loan (14.5%) has a pari passu note held outside the trust. There are eight loans comprising 20.9% of the pool that
allow for additional mezzanine financing subject to DSCR, LTV, and debt yield constraints.

Rating Sensitivities

For this transaction, Fitch's net cash flow (NCF) was 9.6% below the full-year 2011 net operating income (NOI) (for properties that 2011 NOI was provided, excluding properties that were stabilizing during this period). Unanticipated further declines in property-level NCF could result in higher defaults and loss severity on defaulted loans, and could result in potential rating actions on the certificates. Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of the ratings assigned to WFRBS 2013-C12 certificates and found that the transaction displays average sensitivity to further declines in NCF. In a scenario in which NCF declined a further 20% from Fitch's NCF, a downgrade of the junior 'AAAsf' certificates to 'Asf' could result. In a more severe scenario, in which NCF declined a further 30% from Fitch's NCF, a downgrade of the junior 'AAAsf' certificates to 'BBB+sf' could result. The 'Rating Sensitivity' section of Fitch's presale report includes a detailed explanation of additional stresses and sensitivities.

The Master and Special Servicer will be Midland Loan Services, Inc. (Midland), rated 'CMS1' and 'CSS1', respectively, by Fitch.
