MKP CBO Classes Downgraded

Two classes of notes issued by MKP CBO I Ltd., a collateralized debt obligation partly composed of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, have been downgraded by Fitch Ratings.Class A-1L was downgraded from B/DR2 to CCC/DR2, and class A-2L was downgraded from CC/DR4 to C/DR5.
