ENGLEWOOD (S&P Global Ratings) May 12, 2025--S&P Global Ratings today assigned its ?BB+? issue-level rating and ?4? recovery rating to Crown Holdings Inc. subsidiary Crown Americas LLC ?s proposed $500 million unsecured notes due in 2033. The ?4? recovery rating indicates our expectation of average (30%-50%; rounded estimate: 45%) recovery in a default scenario. Crown plans to use the net proceeds with cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility to repay the 4.75% unsecured notes due in 2026 and for related fees and expenses. Our other ratings on Crown, including the ?BB+? issuer credit rating, are unchanged. We assume a simulated default in 2030 due to a substantial and unexpected decline in Crown?s profitability and cash flow,
