Xerox Names Kathryn Mikells Chief Financial Officer

NORWALK, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Xerox (NYS: XRX) announced today the appointment of Kathryn Mikells as chief financial officer and an executive vice president of the corporation.

Mikells is currently CFO of The ADT Corporation, a position she assumed in April 2012 following financial leadership roles at Nalco and UAL Corporation. She joins Xerox on May 2.

“Kathy brings to Xerox extensive experience in financial management coupled with broad global business acumen in both services and technology,” said Ursula Burns, Xerox chairman and chief executive officer. “Her demonstrated success in transforming complex business models complements the strengths of Xerox’s management team and will help us further advance our services-led growth initiatives.”

As CFO of The ADT Corporation, Mikells helped guide ADT‘s successful transition into an independent publicly traded company following its separation from Tyco. Prior to joining ADT, Mikells was chief financial officer of Nalco, a global provider of water treatment and energy technologies. She joined Nalco in 2010 from UAL Corporation, the parent company of United Airlines, where she served as executive vice president and chief financial officer. During her 16 years with UAL, Mikells held a variety of senior leadership roles, including head of investor relations, vice president of financial planning and analysis, and treasurer. Before joining UAL, Mikells spent six years in the financial services industry at GE Capital, Household International and CIBC.

“With more than half of Xerox’s revenue now coming from services, the company’s global growth opportunities are as impressive as its well-respected brand and innovation,” said Mikells. “Xerox is well down its strategic path toward building sustainable value for all its stakeholders. It’s a privilege to be part of such a reputable enterprise and to have the opportunity to contribute to Xerox’s future success.”

Mikells, 47, serves on the board of directors for The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois and an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

Kroll Bond Rating Agency Assigns Final Ratings to JPMCC 2013-C10

Kroll Bond Rating Agency Assigns Final Ratings to JPMCC 2013-C10

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigned its final ratings to fourteen classes of JPMCC 2013-C10, a $1.28 billion CMBS multi-borrower transaction collateralized by 50 fixed rate commercial mortgage loans that are secured by 101 properties. Concurrently, we have withdrawn our preliminary ratings of the certificates, which were assigned on February 22, 2013 (see our ratings listed below).

The mortgage loan sellers are JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMCB), CIBC Inc. (CIBC) and Redwood Commercial Mortgage Corporation (RCMC). The respective contribution of each seller to the pool balance is as follows: JPMCB (36 loans, 81.1%), CIBC (8 loans, 12.0%) and RCMC (6 loans, 6.9%). The majority of the loans (29 loans, 69.2%) were used to refinance existing debt, while the proceeds from 21 loans (30.8%) were used for property acquisitions.

The loans have principal balances that range from $3.0 million to $130.0 million for the largest loan in the pool, which is secured by The Shops at Riverside (10.2%), a regional mall property located in Hackensack, New Jersey. The top five loans, which also include Gateway Center (8.8%), EIP Industrial Portfolio (7.1%), 111 West Jackson (6.3%) and Pot-Nets Manufactured Housing Portfolio (4.8%), represent 37.0% of the initial pool balance, and the top 10 loan exposures represent 55.0%. The properties are geographically diverse and located across 22 states with the three largest state concentrations being New Jersey (14.0%), Illinois (11.6%) and Pennsylvania (11.4%). The pool has exposure to two property types with concentrations in excess of 10%: retail (35.2%) and office (33.9%).

KBRA‘s analysis of the transaction incorporated our multi-borrower rating process that begins with our analysts’ evaluation of underlying collateral properties’ financial and operating performance, which determine KBRA‘s estimate of sustainable net cash flow (KNCF) and KBRA value. The analysis utilized our CMBS Property Evaluation Guidelines to determine KNCF, which on an aggregate basis was 3.3% less than the issuer cash flow. KBRA capitalization rates were applied to each asset’s KNCF to derive individual property values that, on an aggregate basis, were 33.4% less than third party appraisal values. The pool has an in-trust KLTV of 97.8% and an all-in LTV of 101.5%.

KNCF and KBRA capitalization rates were among the key inputs used in our credit modeling process. The model deploys rent and occupancy stresses, probability of default regressions, and loss given default calculations to determine losses for each collateral loan that were used by KBRA to assign our credit ratings for this transaction.
