Moody’s assigns MarkWest notes covenant 4.43

Moody’s Investors Service said it assigned an overall covenant quality score of 4.43 to MarkWest Energy Partners, LP’s and MarkWest Energy Finance Corp.’s $1.2 billion senior notes due 2025.

Moody’s said it scores covenant protections on a five-point scale with 1.0 denoting the strongest covenant protections for investors and 5.0 as the weakest.

MarkWest group’s score compares with the U.S. average of 3.60 and the peer group average of 3.62, the agency said.

Moody’s covenant quality snapshots assess investor protections in six key risk categories: cash leakage (dividends), risky investments, leveraging, liens subordination, structural subordination and change of control.
