Exhibit 1
Late yesterday it was decided that 2 loans would be dropped from the 99-C1 deal
due to concerns raised by an investor related to the affiliates of 1 borrower.
The 2 loans are:
Control # Property Name Type Amount %
ORIX-3452 250 Plaza Office Office $15.0mm 2.4%
ORIX-3288 Bayshore Executive Plaza Office $5.3mm 0.9%
The issue centered around an individual indirectly affiliated with the borrower.
ORIX made the loan with full knowledge of the affiliation & structured the loan
appropriately. To preserve the integrity of the transaction ORIX volunteered to
remove the loans from the pool.
