We expect the company to use the proceeds from the notes to repay the $400 million of senior unsecured notes maturing Feb. 15, 2009. The long-term corporate credit rating on Washington Post Co. is 'A+' and the rating outlook is negative. The rating is supported by the company's modest financial risk profile, ample levels of excess liquidity, leading and diverse business positions, and healthy cash flow generation. This is tempered partially by a strategy of expansion through acquisitions, and ongoing operating challenges in the company's newspaper and magazine publishing segments.
