(Older CMOs are known as "plain vanilla" CMOs, because the repayment scheme is relatively simple - as
payments are received from the underlying mortgages, interest is paid pro-rata to all tranches; but
principal repayments are paid sequentially to the first, then second, then third tranche, etc. Thus, the
earlier tranches are retired first. The PAC tranche is a "Planned Amortization Class." Surrounding this
tranche are 1 or 2 Companion tranches. Interest payments are still made pro-rata to all tranches, but
principal repayments made earlier than that required to retire the PAC at its maturity are applied to the
Companion class; while principal repayments made later than expected are applied to the PAC maturity
before payments are made to the Companion class)
