Item 5. Other Events
On June 18, 1997, MBNA America Bank, N.A. ("MBNA America"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of MBNA Corporation, completed the securitization of
approximately $706.0 million of five-year credit card asset backed securities.
MBNA America transferred credit card receivables to MBNA Master Credit Card
Trust II which issued Series 1997-F. The transaction had two classes of
publicly traded securities (Class A and Class B) and a separate class of
privately placed collateral invested amounts.
Series 1997-F consists of $600.0 million Class A (senior) fixed rate
asset backed certificates and $53.0 million Class B (subordinate) floating
rate asset backed certificates. The 5.0 year 6.60% Class A certificates were
priced at 99.83007% to yield 6.73% or 30 basis points above the five-year
Treasury note. The 5.0 year Class B certificates accrue interest at 29 basis
points over the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and were
priced at par. The privately placed class of floating rate asset backed
certificates were issued in the amount of $53.0 million and are subordinate to
the Class A and Class B asset backed certificates. MBNA America retained
ownership of the credit card accounts which generated the receivables and will
act as servicing agent for Series 1997-F.
