S&P: Genesco still on developing watch

Standard & Poor's said its ratings, including the BB- corporate credit rating on Genesco Inc. remain on CreditWatch with developing implications following the announcement this morning that the company has accepted a bid from The Finish Line Inc. for $1.53 billion, or $54.50 per share, in cash.

S&P said it expects the convertible subordinated notes to be converted as they are currently deep in-the-money with an exercise price of $22.12 per share.

The transaction is expected to close in fall 2007 and the agency said it would withdraw the rating at that time.
