Standard&Poor's said today that its ratings and outlook on Germany-based Deutsche Lufthansa AG (BBB+/Stable/A-2) remain unaffected by the announcement that its cargo subsidiary will dispose of a 25% stake in DHL International Ltd. The disposal proceeds will amount to €610 million (€550 million, plus a possible future payment of €60 million under a debtor warrant agreement). The transaction is consistent with the group's stated commitment to reduce indebtedness.
