CBL reportedly under investigation 
   
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that CBL Associates Properties is 

under investigation by the FBI and the SEC. The probe is focused on 

whether officials at the real estate company “falsified information 

on financial statements to banks when applying for financing 

arrangements.” 
   
We show the CMBS exposure we found related to CBL, which totaled 

nearly $3 billion. Until more details emerge, it is of course difficult

to estimate the impact of the news story on the individual loans and 

deals.
