Abstract:

NEW YORK (S&P Global Ratings) Oct. 11, 2016--S&P Global Ratings today said that its ratings are unchanged on Hickory, N.C.-based global telecommunications infrastructure solutions provider CommScope Holding Co. Inc. (BB-/Stable/--) following the company's announcement of plans to reprice its senior secured term loan due 2022. In addition to the corporate credit rating, the unchanged ratings include our 'BB' issue-level and '2' recovery ratings on its senior secured debt, and our 'B' issue-level and '6' recovery ratings on its unsecured debt. The 'BB-' corporate credit rating reflects our view of leverage in the mid-4x area as of the second quarter, and cyclical wireless carrier demand and connectivity investment spending, partly offset by the company's leading market positions, its commitment to debt
