Alt‐A Lehman described Alt‐A loans as loans “associated with borrowers who may have creditworthiness of ‘prime’ quality but may have traits that prevent the loans from qualifying as ‘prime.’ Those traits could include documentation deficiencies related to the borrowers’ income disclosure, referred to as partial or no documentation; or the underlying property may not be owner‐occupied despite full or lower documentation of the borrowers’ income levels.”6 Aurora was the primary Alt‐A originator for Lehman.7 Alt‐B Informal term used in the mortgage industry to describe Alt‐A loans that were of lesser credit quality.8 Some within Lehman used the term Alt‐B to refer to loans originated by Lehman subsidiary Aurora Loan Services, LLC under a program known as Mortgage Maker.9 6 Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Quarterly Report as of Feb. 29, 2008 (Form 10‐Q) (filed on Apr. 9, 2008), at p. 57 (ʺLBHI 10‐Q (filed on Apr. 9, 2008)”). 7 Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Annual Report for 2007 as of Nov. 30, 2007 (Form 10‐K) (filed on Jan. 29, 2008), at p. 5 (“LBHI 2007 10‐K”). 8 Doris “Tanta” Dungey, Calculated Risk, Alt‐A: The New Home of Subprime? http://www.calculatedriskblog.com (July 11, 2007) (last visited on Feb. 6, 2010) (stating that the term “Alt‐B” was “not universally popular in the industry” and “is not an attempt to describe a kind of subprime lending as much as it is a derogatory term for the worst kind of officially‐described ‘Alt‐A,’ rather like the term ‘liar loan’ is a derogatory term for the blander ‘no doc.’ If it has any clear definition, it generally refers to the lowest‐quality segment of the somewhat nebulous ‘Alt‐A’ world.”) 9 Dimitrios Kritikos, Lehman, Selected Trends from Aurora Risk Review February 2007 (Feb. 2, 2007) at p. 2 [LBEX‐DOCID 537846] (“The product mix of Aurora production has shifted substantially in the last 6 months from Alt‐A to Mortgage Maker (Alt‐B).”); Lehman, Product Definitions of Alt‐A, Mortgage Maker, and Subprime (Oct. 17, 2007), at p. 2 [LBEX‐DOCID 537902]. 4 Alvarez & Marsal Management consulting agency founded in 1983.
