NEW YORK (Standard&Poor's) May 26, 2010--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services said today that, based on preliminary terms and conditions, it assigned its 'BB+' senior secured debt rating and a recovery rating of '2' to a proposed $1 billion multicurrency senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in 2015. The revolving credit facility is available to certain subsidiaries of Crown Holdings Inc. These ratings indicate our expectation of substantial (70% to 90%) recovery in the event of a payment default. Standard&Poor's has updated its recovery analysis on Crown. For the complete recovery analysis, see our recovery report on Crown to be published shortly on RatingsDirect. If consummated as currently structured, the proposed facility would replace Crown's existing $758
