Fitch downgrades HCA, rates loans BB, note B

Fitch Ratings said it downgraded HCA, Inc.'s issuer default rating to B from B+ and senior unsecured notes to CCC+ with a recovery rating of RR6 from BB+ and removed them from Rating Watch negative following the completion of its leveraged buyout.

The agency also assigned BB/RR1 ratings to the company's asset-based facility, euro term loan, and secured bank facility and a B/RR4 rating to its second-lien notes.

The outlook is now stable.
