News of the tentative May 25 sale follows a recent announcement that First American Mortgage Securities Inc., the Tidalwave subsidiary, has acquired a loan-servicing platform of about $2.3 billion and another $100 million in loan sub-service contracts.

Company officials expect the pending sale to earn a rating of AAA, since the securities will be issued under an existing shelf-registration statement. Pricing details should be publicly available by May 22.

The company also is retaining servicing rights on the issue in exchange for about 44 basis points or a value of about 2.25%. Credit enhancement also should cost about 22 basis points.
