In addition, Moody's upgraded one class and confirmed one class in the transaction. The rating agency said class G-1 was downgraded due to the poorer performance of the 2777 East Camelback Road Loan, while the other downgrades were due to the overall decline in property performance of Loan Group F. As of the June 20 distribution date, the transaction's aggregate balance had decreased by approximately 38.9% since securitization, the rating agency said.
