S&P lowers Missouri TopCo

Standard & Poor's said it lowered to B from B+ the long-term corporate credit rating on Missouri TopCo Ltd., the parent company of Matalan.

The outlook is stable.

The agency also said it lowered the rating on the £250 million senior secured notes issued by Matalan Finance Ltd. to BB- from BB, along with the issue rating on Matalan Finance's £225 million senior unsecured notes to CCC+ from B-.

The downgrades reflect the deterioration in Matalan's operating performance in a challenging United Kingdom retail market, S&P said.

The agency said it foresees a difficult trading environment continuing over the medium term.
