S&P: R.H. Donnelley, Dex Media on watch

Standard & Poor's said it placed its ratings on R.H. Donnelley Corp., including its BB corporate credit rating, and Dex Media Inc., including its BB- corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with negative implications.

At the same time, the agency said it placed the ratings on the companies' operating subsidiaries, R.H. Donnelley Inc., Dex Media West LLC and Dex Media East LLC, on CreditWatch with negative implications.

S&P noted the CreditWatch listing follows R.H. Donnelley's announcement it would acquire Dex for$4.2 billion plus the assumption of Dex's outstanding debt, which totaled $5.5 billion as of June.

If S&P lowers R.H. Donnelley and Dex's ratings, the corporate credit ratings floor is expected to be B+.
