Monday August 14, 4:16 pm Eastern Time Fitch places some Conseco, Green Tree ABS on alert (UPDATE: Press release provided by the rating agency)
NEW YORK, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Fitch places the limited guarantee classes of Conseco Finance Corp. (NYSE:CNC - news) and Green Tree Financial Corp.'s securitizations listed below on Rating Alert Evolving.
This action follows Fitch's downgrade of Conseco Finance Corp.'s senior debt rating to 'B' from 'BB-'.
For more information regarding Fitch's rating of Conseco Finance Corp., please see Fitch's press release dated August 11, 2000. To date, the ratings on these securities have reflected the strength of the limited guarantee provided by Conseco (formerly Green Tree Financial Corp.). If the limited guaranty were the only form of credit enhancement for these securities, they would be downgraded to 'B'.
However, all of these securities are also supported by monthly excess interest, and in some cases, overcollateralization (O/C).
Fitch will evaluate each of these securities to determine whether the excess interest, and if applicable, O/C, is sufficient to achieve a rating above the 'B' rating of the company.
