S&P: LinkedIn convertibles BB+

Standard & Poor’s said it assigned an unsolicited BB+ corporate credit rating to LinkedIn Corp.

The agency also said it assigned an unsolicited BB+ rating and unsolicited 3 recovery rating to the company’s $1.3 billion convertible notes due 2019. The 3 recovery rating indicates 50% to 70% expected default recovery.

The outlook is stable.

LinkedIn will use the proceeds from the debt issuance for general corporate purposes, including operating needs, the agency said.

The ratings incorporate an assumption of double-digit percentage growth in LinkedIn Solution customers, robust growth in unique visiting members and page views, positive discretionary cash flow and minimal debt leverage, S&P said.
