(A)
Weighted average, including floating and fixed rate classes.
(B)
Including the effect of applicable hedges and deferred financing cost.
(C)
Excluding restricted cash held in CDOs to be used for principal and interest payments of CDO debt.
(D)
Including $46.5 million notional amount of interest rate swap in CDO VI, which was an economic hedge not designed as a hedge for accounting purposes.
(E)
This CDO was not in compliance with its applicable over collateralization tests as of December 31, 2014. Newcastle is not receiving cash flows from this CDO (other than senior management fees and cash flows on senior classes of bonds that were repurchased), since net interest is being used to repay debt, and expects this CDO to remain out of compliance for the forseeable future.
(F)
Represents financings of previously repurchased Newcastle CDO bonds for which the collateral is eliminated in consolidation.
(G)
These repurchase agreements had less than $0.1 million accrued interest payable at December 31, 2014. $436.0 million face amount of these repurchase agreements were renewed subsequent to December 31, 2014. The counterparties on these repurchase agreements are Bank of America ($55.9 million) and Nomura ($385.3 million). Newcastle has margin exposure on $441.2 million of repurchase agreements related to the financing of certain Newcastle CDO VIII, CDO IX notes and FNMA/FHLMC securities. To the extent that the value of the collateral underlying these repurchase agreements declines, Newcastle may be required to post margin, which could significantly impact its liquidity.
(H)
The golf credit facilities are collateralized by all of the assets of the Golf business.
(I)
Interest rate on this is based on 3 month LIBOR with a LIBOR floor of 0.5%.
(J)
LIBOR +2.25% after April 2016.
(K)
Issued in April 2006 and July 2007. Secured by the general credit of Newcastle. See Note 6 regarding the securitizations of Subprime Portfolio I and II.
