The Public Certificates and the Mortgage Loans are more particularly described in the Prospectus. In connection with such Prospectus, the Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant has provided the certification attached hereto asExhibit 36.1 and dated as of February 12, 2018.
On February 27, 2018, the Registrant sold all of the Public Certificates, having an aggregate certificate principal amount of $917,134,000. The net proceeds of the offering to the Registrant of the issuance of the Public Certificates, after deducting expenses payable by the Registrant of $7,492,805, were approximately $983,408,376.
