FRANKFURT (Standard&Poor's) Aug. 10, 2007--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services said today it raised its long-term corporate credit rating on DaimlerChrysler AG and related entities to 'BBB+' from 'BBB' upon completion of the sale of a majority stake of its Chrysler business to private-equity company Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. and removed it from CreditWatch, where it had been placed with positive implications on May 14, 2007. At the same time, the short-term 'A-2' rating was affirmed. The outlook is stable. "The upgrade reflects the positive effect of the transaction on the credit profile of DaimlerChrysler, which is expected to be renamed Daimler AG after an extraordinary shareholders' meeting scheduled for Oct. 4, 2007," said Standard&Poor's credit analyst
