S&P keeps Hard Rock on developing watch

Standard & Poor's said its ratings on Hard Rock Hotel Inc., including its B+ corporate credit rating, remain on CreditWatch with developing implications where they were placed on Feb. 22, 2006, following the company's announcement that its owner, Peter Morton, had agreed to sell the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas to Morgans Hotel Group Co. (unrated) for $421 million, which is subject to a number of adjustments.

The agency added that at Sept. 30, there was $189 million of debt outstanding and debt to EBITDA, adjusted for operating leases, was 5.1x, in line with the ratings.

In resolving its CreditWatch listing, S&P said it will monitor the situation as it develops, noting that should the company's outstanding bonds be fully redeemed, it would withdraw its ratings and remove them from CreditWatch.
