S&P cuts Golden Eagle Retail, notes

Standard & Poor's said it lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on Golden Eagle Retail Group Ltd. to BB+ from BBB-.

The outlook is negative.

The agency also lowered its long-term issue rating on the company's senior unsecured notes to BB from BBB-.

The issue rating is one notch lower than the issuer rating due to structural subordination.

In line with the rating change, S&P lowered Golden Eagle’s long-term Greater China regional scale rating to cnBBB from cnBBB+ and on the notes to cnBBB- from cnBBB+.

"We lowered the rating because Golden Eagle's leverage has increased more than we expected over the past year, and we do not anticipate any material reduction over the next 12 months," S&P credit analyst Lillian Chiou said in a news release.
