Item 5. Other Events.
On March 31, 2003, the documents relating to the Securities (the “Securitization Documents”) were amended. We recently became aware of a descrepancy between World Fianancial Network National Bank’s (“WFN”) historical and ongoing treatment of receivables that are created fraudulently, on one hand, and the Securitization Documents, on the other hand. WFN has consistently treated fraudulent receivables as credit charge-offs, and the loss numbers that we have reported reflect that treatment. However, certain portions of the Securitization Documents indicated that fraudulent receivables should instead be applied to reduce the Transferor Interest. The amendment, which is attached to this filing as Exhibit 4, conforms the Securitization Documents to WFN’s actual practices, except that the old provisions remain in effect if fraudulent receivables rise above 60 basis points per annum. Each of the rating agencies that rate the Securities confirmed that this amendment would not result in a withdrawal or downgrade of their ratings of any of the Securities.
