Fitch rates Yiwu State-Owned Capital notes BBB

Fitch Ratings said it assigned Yiwu State-Owned Capital Operation Co., Ltd.'s (BBB/stable) proposed dollar-denominated senior notes a BBB(EXP) expected rating.

The notes are to be issued by wholly owned subsidiary, Chouzhou International Investment Ltd., and will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Yiwu State-Owned Capital.

The guaranteed bonds will constitute Yiwu State-Owned Capital’s direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations and will rank pari passu with other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Fitch said the bond is rated at the same level as Yiwu State-Owned Capital’s issuer default rating because the direct guarantee structure transfers the ultimate responsibility of payment to Yiwu State-Owned Capital.
