S&P rates Fusion loan B

S&P said it assigned its B issue-level rating to Fusion Telecommunications International Inc.'s (Fusion Connect) $40 million first-lien term loan A due 2022.

The 3 recovery rating indicates an expectation for meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 65%) recovery in the event of a default.

All of the other ratings on the company remain.

Fusion is adding the new term loan A to a revised financing package for its purchase of the cloud and business services operations of Birch Communications.

“Despite the increase in Fusion's debt, our ratings on the company's existing first-lien debt remain unchanged because the EBITDA contribution (reflecting cost synergies) from the proposed acquisition will modestly increase its valuation in a hypothetical default scenario,” the agency said in a news release.
