About This Report

Abstract:

We are affirming our ratings on Cott Corp, including our 'B+' long-term corporate credit rating on the company, and removing all ratings from CreditWatch where they had been placed with developing implications Feb. 13, 2014. At the same time, we are assigning our 'B+' issue-level rating and '4' recovery rating to Cott's proposed US$525 million senior unsecured notes due 2022. The company plans to issue the notes through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Cott Beverages Inc. The notes will be used to repay Cott's US$375 million senior unsecured notes due 2018 as well as debt outstanding under the company's asset-backed lending (ABL) facility. The negative outlook on Cott reflects Standard&Poor's belief that the company's operating performance could remain
