S&P rates CME Group notes AA-

Standard & Poor's said it assigned an AA- senior unsecured debt rating on CME Group Inc.'s upcoming issuance of $750 million of notes due in 2043.

The proceeds will be used to prefund the upcoming maturity of $750 million 5.75% notes due in February 2014.

Based on the company's adjusted total debt of $2.1 billion, S&P said it estimates debt leverage is 1.03x, which is comfortable at the current ratings.
