Fitch Ratings revises the ratings of six classes of LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust, series 2005-C5 as follows:
--$187.5 million class A-J to 'A/LS3' from 'BBB'; Stable Outlook;
--$20.5 million class B to 'A/LS5' from 'BBB-; Stable Outlook;
--$32.2 million class C to 'BBB/LS5' from 'BB'; Stable Outlook;
--$23.4 million class E to 'BB/LS5' from 'B'; Negative Outlook;
--$29.3 million class F to 'BB/LS5' from 'B-'; Negative Outlook;
--$26.4 million class G to 'B/LS5' from 'B-'; Negative Outlook.
The rating revisions are due to a recalculation of losses for the overall deal from 6.6% to 5.2%. Loss methodology and forecasts for individual loans remain the same. The restatement of forecasted losses for this transaction is a result of a manual error by Fitch that utilized an incorrect transaction balance. Fitch believes this is an isolated incident pertaining to this transaction.
