Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Several recent news reports have indicated that the KeyBank Real Estate
Capital Markets unit of KeyCorp is an unsecured creditor on a $117.7 million
loan to real estate developer Jackson Green LLC, of Minocqua, Wisconsin, which
recently filed this information as part of a list of credits it submitted with
its bankruptcy filing. (See Jackson Green LLC, 1-09-10099, U.S. Bankruptcy
Court, Western District of Wisconsin). This is in error. The actual amount
should have been referenced as $17.7 million, not $117.7 million. In addition,
the loan was not originated by any KeyCorp unit. The loan was originated by
another unrelated financial institution and then sold by that financial
institution to a securitization trust for which KeyCorp Real Estate Capital
Markets, Inc. acts in the capacity as Master Servicer. Although a unit of
KeyCorp services or administers the $17.7 million loan to Jackson Green, no
KeyCorp entity is the creditor on the loan and no KeyCorp entity will suffer the
consequences of a default on the loan other than the possible de minimis loss of
associated servicing revenue.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 is furnished and not "filed" for
purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
