S&P downgrades Dex One

Standard & Poor's said it lowered its corporate credit rating on Dex One Corp. and related entities to SD from CC.

At the same time, S&P lowered the issue-level rating on Dex Media East Inc.'s $672 million term loan, Dex Media West Inc.'s $594 million term loan and R.H. Donnelley Inc.'s $866 million term loan due 2014 to D from C.

The recovery rating on these loans remains at 5, indicating the expectation of modest (10% to 30%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.

"The downgrade reflects the application of our criteria on subpar repurchase transactions, which we view as tantamount to a default," S&P credit analyst Chris Valentine said in a news release.
