LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency UK Limited (KBRA) is pleased to announce the assignment of preliminary ratings to five classes of Taurus 2021-2 SP DAC, a CMBS single-borrower securitisation.
The collateral for the transaction consists of a €139.9 million portion of a €269.9 million limited recourse, first lien mortgage financing. The floating rate loan, first utilised in September 2019, has a three-year initial term with two, one-year extension options. The loan is secured by the borrowers’ interests in eight office assets in Spain.

The tenants comprise a variety of multinational, regional, and local firms.
KBRA’s analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of the properties’ cash flows and the application of our European CMBS Rating Methodology.
