Moody's ups Kyivstar loan, notes to B1

Moody's Investors Service said it upgraded the long-term ratings of JSC Kyivstar GSM to B1 from B2. The outlook is stable.

Moody's upped Kyivstar's $266.4 million loan participation notes due 2009, $75 million senior secured revolving credit facility and $40.5 million outstanding loan participation notes due 2005 and its senior implied rating and issuer rating to B1 from B2.

The upgrade reflects the company's continued robust operational and financial performance fuelled by subscriber growth on the Ukrainian mobile market, Moody's said.

As of Dec. 31, 2004, the company had a modest leverage of 0.8x total debt / EBITDA.
