S&P: Service Corp. unchanged

Standard & Poor's said its ratings on Service Corp. International Inc. (BB/stable) are not currently affected by its disclosure that its offer to acquire Stewart Enterprises Inc. (BB-/stable) and request for access to perform due diligence was rejected by Stewart's management.

At this point, the agency said that it cannot discern if Stewart's management and the board of directors will ultimately grant Service Corp access to information or accept its offer.

The disclosure states that the offer would be for at least $9.50 a share, which would be a 35% premium over the 50-day average per share closing price, the agency added.
