S&P assigns B+ to First Brands loan

S&P said it assigned its B+ issue-level and 3 recovery ratings to First Brands Group LLC's planned $300 million non-fungible add-on to its first-lien term loan due March 2027. The 3 recovery rating indicates meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 60%) recovery in default.

“This issuance does not affect our view of the company's credit quality. Therefore, Our B+ issuer credit rating and stable outlook on First Brands, as well as our B+ issue-level rating and 3 recovery rating on its first-lien debt, are unchanged,” S&P said in a press release.

First Brands will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to fund mergers and acquisitions and enhance its liquidity.
