S&P puts Rottapharm on watch

Standard & Poor’s said it placed its BB- long-term corporate credit rating on Rottapharm on CreditWatch with negative implications.

At the same time, S&P placed on CreditWatch negative the BB- issue rating on the €400 million senior unsecured notes due 2019 issued by Rottapharm Ltd., a subsidiary of Rottapharm. S&P also revised the recovery rating on the notes to 4 from 3, owing to a higher amount of prior-ranking liabilities, indicating an expectation of average (30%-50%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

The CreditWatch placement reflects the announced takeover bid of Rottapharm by Swedish group Meda AB.
