S&P gives Ardagh B+, notes B-

S&P said it assigned its B+ long-term corporate credit rating to ARD Securities Finance Sarl.

The outlook is positive.

The agency also assigned a B- issue rating to the proposed $350 million payment-in-kind notes due 2023 to be issued by ARD. The 6 recovery rating reflects an expectation of negligible (0%) recovery in the event of default.

At the same time, S&P affirmed the B+ long-term corporate credit ratings on Ardagh Group SA, Ardagh Packaging Group, and Ardagh Packaging Holdings and ARD Finance.

The agency also affirmed the BB issue ratings and 1 recovery rating on Ardagh's senior secured debt, the B issue ratings and 5 recovery rating on Ardagh's senior unsecured debt, and the B- issue rating and 6 recovery rating on ARD Finance's subordinated PIK toggle notes.

S&P said the corporate credit rating reflects the view that ARD Securities Finance is core to the group.
