S&P rates Korea Railroad bonds A
Standard & Poor's said assigned its A long-term debt rating to Korea Railroad Corp.'s (A/stable/A-1) proposed CFH 315 million senior unsecured bonds due December 2019.
The company plans to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including refinancing.
S&P said the ratings reflect its opinion that the likelihood of the government of the Republic of Korea (foreign currency rating A+/stable/A-1; local currency rating AA-/stable/A-1+) providing timely and sufficient extraordinary support to Korea Railroad in the event of financial distress is "extremely high."
The agency assesses the stand-alone credit profile for Korea Railroad as b+ to reflect the company's "satisfactory" business risk profile and "highly leveraged" financial risk profile.
