LONDON, June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hatfield Philips International ("HPI"), Europe's largest independent commercial real estate loan servicing firm, today confirmed that it is fully committed to ensuring a smooth transfer of servicing on Windermere XIV.

Hatfield Philips states that it has been and will continue to work in good faith with the successor servicer to reach a reasonable agreement regarding liquidation fees. As provided in the transaction documents, Hatfield Philips seeks to be fairly compensated only for the special servicing duties it has carried out to date, which have led or will lead to concrete and measurable value creation for noteholders.
