S&P rates WMG Acquisition notes BB

S&P Global Ratings said it assigned its BB issue-level rating and 3 recovery rating to WMG Acquisition Corp.’s proposed $550 million of senior secured notes due 2031. The 3 recovery rating indicates S&P’s expectation of meaningful (50%-70%; weighted average: 65%) recovery of principal in the event of a default.

The company will use the proceeds to pay down a portion of its $1.326 billion term loan ($1.323 outstanding as of June 30).

“We view the transaction to be leverage neutral. Our issuer credit rating remains BB,” S&P said in a press release.

The outlook is stable.
