S&P: El Paso Pipeline notes BB

Standard & Poor's said it assigned a BB senior unsecured debt rating to El Paso Pipeline Partners Operating Co. LLC's $500 million senior unsecured notes due 2021.

The agency also said it placed the rating on CreditWatch with positive implications.

The notes were assigned a recovery rating of 4, indicating 30% to 50% expected recovery in a default.

El Paso Pipeline Partners LP fully and unconditionally guarantees the notes.

The proceeds will be used to reduce outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes.

The BB long-term corporate credit rating on El Paso Pipeline Partners is tied to the rating on El Paso Corp., S&P said.
