S&P rates Great Lakes Dredge facility B+, notes B-

Standard & Poor's said it assigned its B- rating to Great Lakes' proposed $170 million subordinated notes due 2013, which are being issued under Rule 144A with registration rights, and its B+ bank loan rating to Great Lakes' proposed senior secured credit facility.

These ratings are not on CreditWatch.

Separately, S&P said that its B+ corporate credit and other ratings on Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corp. remain on CreditWatch with negative implications, pending completion of the company's acquisition by Madison Dearborn Partners LLC (unrated) from Citigroup Venture Capital (unrated) for $340 million.

Assuming the deal is financed as outlined by the company to S&P, the corporate credit rating will be affirmed and the outlook most likely will be stable, the agency said.
