We created and sold two CMBS in 1997

and 1998, retaining only the non-

investment grade CMBS in green at

issuance

We redeemed the 1998 CMBS bonds in

blue at par in 12/2009 and 7/2010

We redeemed the 1997 CMBS bonds in

blue at par in 8/2010

We financed all of the redemptions via

resecuritization and repo at a current

effective interest rate of ~1.8% for a

current weighted average “spread”

on the

redeemed CMBS of ~6.4%

Annual net interest income expected

based on the spread earned on the CMBS is

~$12 million based on current rates

DX still owns rights to redeem the CMBS

bonds in red at par
