Moody's drops American General Finance

Moody's Investors Service said it downgraded the senior unsecured rating of American General Finance Corp. to B2 from Baa3 and its short-term rating to Not Prime from Prime-3.

The short-term ratings of AGFC subsidiary CommoLoCo, Inc. and direct parent American General Finance Inc. were also downgraded to Not Prime from Prime-3, Moody's noted.

The outlook for the long-term ratings is negative.

Moody's said that the ratings downgrade primarily reflects its view that the quality and duration of support from American General Finance's ultimate parent AIG has diminished.
