Notice of Final Distribution and Termination

This notice is being provided to Unitholders, the Warrantholders, the Depositor, and the Rating Agencies in accordance with the terms of the Governing Agreements.

Penney Company, Inc. filed for bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Corpus Christi Division (Case No. 20-20182).[1] This filing constituted an Underlying Security Default and this Underlying Security Default constituted a Trust Wind-Up Event.[2]

Based on this Trust Wind-Up Event, on May 28, 2020, in accordance with the terms of Governing Agreements, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as Selling Agent, solicited bids for the underlying J.C. Penney Company, Inc. 7.625% debentures due March 1, 2097 previously held by the Trust (the “Underlying Securities”). The highest bid price received by the Selling Agent was $147,150.00. In accordance with the Warrantholders’ right of first refusal under the Governing Agreement, the Selling Agent offered the Warrantholders the option to acquire the Underlying Securities at the $147,150.00 highest bid price which option the Warrantholders exercised.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Underlying Securities will be applied to redeem the Units and terminate the Trust pursuant to the Governing Agreements. The final distribution will occur on or before June 17, 2020.
