S&P ups Metallurg to CC

Standard & Poor's said it revised its corporate credit rating on Metallurg Inc. and its parent Metallurg Holdings Inc. to CC from D and revised its ratings on Metallurg's 11% senior notes due 2007 to CC from D and Metallurg Holdings' 12.75% senior discount notes due 2008 to C from D.

The outlook is negative.

The ratings on Metallurg Inc. reflect its constrained liquidity and S&P's concerns about the company's ability to meet its near-term financial obligations.

S&P said it is concerned that the company may seek to restructure and reduce its debt levels in a manner detrimental to lenders, or seek bankruptcy protection, as it may consider itself to be unable to meet its near-term debt service requirements.
