DBRS Morningstar Discontinues Ratings on Taurus 2016-1 DEU DAC

DBRS Ratings GmbH (DBRS Morningstar) discontinued its ratings on the Commercial Mortgage-Backed Floating-Rate Notes issued by Taurus 2016-1 DEU DAC as all outstanding principal and interest amounts on the notes were repaid in full on the 17 February interest payment date.

This concludes DBRS Morningstar’s surveillance of this transaction.

Notes:
All figures are in euros unless otherwise noted.

The principal methodology applicable to the ratings is: “European CMBS Rating and Surveillance Methodology”

A review of the transaction legal documents was not conducted as the legal documents have remained unchanged since the most recent rating action.

In DBRS Morningstar’s opinion, a discontinued-repaid rating action does not warrant the application of the entire principal methodology, as the bonds have been repaid in full.
