New York, June 18, 2013 -- Moody's Investors Service has corrected the ratings of Class 1A-IO and Class 2A-IO from Fannie Mae REMIC Trust 2002-W1 to Ba3 (sf) from Aaa (sf). These two classes are interest-only tranches with notional balances linked to Category 1 Loans and Category 2 Loans, respectively. The collateral backing this transaction consists of first-lien fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) an agency of the U.S. Department of Urban Development (HUD) or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration (VA). Ratings for these tranches should have been downgraded to Ba3 (sf) from Aaa (sf) on February 22, 2012, when Moody's took action on RMBS interest-only securities issued between 1996 and 2010, but were instead affirmed at Aaa (sf) due to an internal administrative error. Moody's has now corrected its systems to reflect a downgrade for the ratings of Class 1A-IO and Class 2A-IO to Ba3 (sf) from Aaa (sf) as of February 22, 2012.
