The bank loan rating on OMNOVA's $150 million senior secured term loan facility is 'B+', the same as the corporate credit rating, with a recovery rating of '3', indicating our expectation for meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in a payment default scenario. OMNOVA increased the size of its asset-based revolving credit facility (ABL) to $90 million from $80 million through an amendment dated Dec. 28, 2007. There were no other material changes to the terms and conditions of the ABL, including the maturity, borrowing rates, covenants, and collateral under the facility.</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">682129</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">68214F</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">15101050 151010 1510 15</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">OMNOVA Solutions Inc.</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">337449</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">OMN</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">NEWS</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Chemicals</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp; Investment Research</category><alacra:ip>S&amp;P Credit Research</alacra:ip></item><item><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/moodys/CMT_0000417712</link><guid isPermaLink="false">moodys/CMT_0000417712</guid><moodys:index_mode xmlns:moodys="http://www.alacra.com/moodys">html</moodys:index_mode><moodys:report_type xmlns:moodys="http://www.alacra.com/moodys">Issuer Comment</moodys:report_type><pubDate>1/9/2008 12:34:58 AM</pubDate><title>Moody's comments on OMNOVA's rating</title><description>Global Credit Research Issuer Comment # JAN ####   Issuer Comment: OMNOVA Solutions Inc.

The ratings also reflect OMNOVA's exposure to volatile raw material costs, many of which are derived from oil and natural gas, and its highly aggressive financial profile. These attributes are partially offset by competitive business positions as the No. 1 or No. 2 supplier in each of its key end markets and moderate product diversification. OMNOVA generated approximately $726 million in revenues over the past 12 months ended August 31, 2007. Also on that date, the company had approximately $183 million of total debt outstanding, including a modest amount of capitalized operating leases</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">682129</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">68214F</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">15101050 151010 1510 15</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">OMNOVA Solutions Inc.</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">337449</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">OMN</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">SUMMARY</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Chemicals</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp; Investment Research</category><alacra:ip>S&amp;P Credit Research</alacra:ip></item><item><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/srp/24841</link><guid isPermaLink="false">srp/24841</guid><srp:index_mode xmlns:srp="http://www.alacra.com/srp">norm</srp:index_mode><description>...Address:### Ghent Road, Fairlawn, Ohio #####-#### Incorporated:OhioWeb Site: www.omnova.comSIC Classification: Adhesives and Sealants (####) Business Description: OMNOVA Solutions Inc. is an innovator of emulsion polymers and specialty chemicals, decorative and functional surfaces and single-ply roofing systems for a variety of commercial, industrial and residential end uses.Indices:S&amp;P ### ...
