S&P cuts TDC

Standard & Poor's said it lowered its long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings on TDC A/S to BB from BBB+.

The agency noted the downgrade follows the announcement by Nordic Telephone Co. ApS that it has received 88.2% acceptance of its offer to TDC's shareholders, which is in excess of the minimum tender threshold of 85%.

At the same time, the short-term corporate credit and commercial paper ratings on TDC were lowered to B from A-2 and removed from CreditWatch, the agency added.

S&P said the downgrade to the high-yield category reflects its expectations that the new shareholders of TDC will implement a highly leveraged financial structure for the group.
