S&P boosts Standard Motor

Standard & Poor's said it raised the corporate credit rating on Standard Motor Products Inc. to CC from SD.

The outlook is negative.

S&P said the upgrade reflects the company's completed distressed exchange, in which investors tendered 6.75% convertible subordinated debentures due 2009 in exchange for newly issued 15% convertible subordinated debentures due 2011.

The rating reflects the financial pressure that Standard Motor Products faces in paying off its remaining $32 million in debentures that mature on July 15, 2009, the agency noted.
