Item 5. Other Events
On August 26, 1998, MBNA America Bank, N.A. ("MBNA America"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of MBNA Corporation, completed the securitization of
$500.0 million of seven-year, credit card asset backed securities. MBNA
America transferred credit card receivables to MBNA Master Credit Card Trust
II which issued Series 1998-F. The transaction had two classes of publicly
traded securities (Class A and Class B), and a separate, privately placed,
collateral invested amount.
Series 1998-F consists of $425.0 million Class A (senior) floating rate
asset backed certificates and $37.5 million Class B (subordinate) floating
rate asset backed certificates. The privately placed, fixed rate collateral
invested amount was issued in the amount of $37.5 million and is subordinate
to the Class A and Class B asset backed certificates. The 7.0 year Class A
certificates accrue interest at 10 basis points over the three month London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The 7.0 year Class B certificates accrue
interest at 28 basis points over the three month LIBOR. Both the Class A and
Class B certificates were priced at par. MBNA America retained ownership of
the credit card accounts which generated the receivables and will act as
servicing agent for Series 1998-F.
