PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Legal Proceedings.

“On June 18, 2014, a group of investors, including funds managed by Blackrock Advisors, LLC, PIMCO-Advisors, L.P., and others, filed a derivative action against DBNTC and DBTCA in New York State Supreme Court purportedly on behalf of and for the benefit of 544 private-label RMBS trusts asserting claims for alleged violations of the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (TIA), breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on DBNTC and DBTCA’s alleged failure to perform their duties as trustees for the trusts. Plaintiffs subsequently dismissed their state court complaint and filed a derivative and class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of and for the benefit of 564 private-label RMBS trusts, which substantially overlapped with the trusts at issue in the state

court action. The complaint alleges that the trusts at issue have suffered total realized collateral losses of U.S. $89.4 billion, but the complaint does not include a demand for money damages in a sum certain. DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion to dismiss, and on January 19, 2016, the court partially granted the motion on procedural grounds: as to the 500 trusts that are governed by Pooling and Servicing Agreements, the court declined to exercise jurisdiction. The court did not rule on substantive defenses asserted in the motion to dismiss as to the 64 trusts formed under indentures for which it retained jurisdiction. Instead, the court ordered plaintiffs to file an amended complaint as to those indenture trusts. On February 23, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint as to 62 of the 64 indenture trusts included in the original U.S. District Court complaint. DBNTC and DBTCA will have an opportunity to file new defensive motions with respect to this amended complaint. It is anticipated that plaintiffs will, in the near future, file a new state court complaint as to some or all of the 500 trusts governed by Pooling and Servicing Agreements which were dismissed from the U.S. District Court action.

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. and IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. filed a Summons With Notice in New York state court naming as defendants DBNTC and DBTCA, as trustees of 37 RMBS trusts (the “IKB Action”). The claims in the IKB Action appear to be substantively similar to the SDNY Action. The IKB Action is not styled as a putative class action, but may attempt to bring derivative claims on behalf of the named RMBS Trusts. DBTCA intends to vigorously defend the IKB Action.”
