The Mortgage Loans in the Provisional Mortgage Portfolio were originated by the Seller itself under two brands, Foundation Home Loans (92.28%) and Paratus/Keystone (7.72%).

As at the portfolio reference date (28 February 2019) the portfolio consisted of 1,321 buy-to-let accounts, where the average outstanding balance per account is £249,240 and the largest is for £1.325mln. All loans were subject to a full property valuation, and all are performing. Borrower type: individual 64.76%, limited company 35.24%. Redemption type: interest-only 96.76%, capital & interest 2.51% and part & part 0.73%. Loan purpose: re-mortgage 68.97%, purchase 31.03%. Product type: Fixed (Reverts to 3M Libor) 99.97%, variable 0.03%. The WA CLTV is 70.15% (OLTV was 70.20%) and the WA seasoning is 4.04 months. Regional concentration: Greater London 53.87%, South East 18.01%, Eastern 7.60% and the South West 5.70%.

Significant Investor: The Seller will on the Closing Date purchase 100% of the Class Z1 Notes and 100% of the Class Z2 Notes and will hold 100% of the Residual Certificates.

EU Risk Retention: On the Closing Date and until all the Notes other than the Class Z Notes have been redeemed in full, Paratus AMC Limited, as an originator, will retain a material net economic interest of not less than 5% in the securitisation as required by Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402, which will be satisfied by the Retention Holder subscribing for and thereafter holding an interest in the first loss tranche, represented by the retention by the Seller of the Class Z1 Notes and the Class Z2 Notes.

The transaction is not intended to involve the retention by a sponsor for purposes of compliance with the final rules promulgated under Section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but rather it is intended to rely on an exemption provided for in Rule 20 of the U.S. Risk Retention Rules regarding non U.S. transactions.
