KBRA affirms all of its outstanding ratings for Hamlet 2020-CRE1, a $1.4 billion CMBS securitization collateralized by 19 fixed-rate first mortgage loans that are secured by 25 properties. The affirmations follow a surveillance review of the transaction, which has exhibited a worsening in pool performance since securitization, including loans being identified as K-LOCs. However, the magnitude of the changes does not warrant rating adjustments at this time.

As of the May 2026 remittance period, there is one specially serviced loan (6.7% of the pool balance) that remains current. Per the transaction sponsor, the loan has paid off in full, which will be reflected in the next remittance report. KBRA has identified four loans (34.0%) as K-LOCs, of which two (16.3%) have estimated losses. The K-LOCs are depicted in the table below:

Loss Given Default (000s) Loss Severity 1A1 Loan 2 MF $195,885 13.7% N C Y Prior SS - - 3A1 Loan 3 OF $177,087 12.4% N C Y Prior SS $65,318 36.9% 13A1 Loan 9 OF $55,714 3.9% N C N Occupancy - - 12A1 Loan 10 RT $55,535 3.9% N C Y Modification $14,821 26.7% Total K-LOCs $484,221 34.0% $80,139 1. Loss Given Default assumes a 100% probability of default (PD). KBRA may determine a lower PD when estimating losses to a transaction. KBRA Estimated 1 K-LOCs Prosp.
