NEW YORK (Standard&Poor's) Nov. 6, 2009--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services today said it has assigned its 'CCC' issue-level rating and '6' recovery rating to Ford Motor Co.'s $2.5 billion senior unsecured convertible notes due 2016. The '6' recovery rating indicates our expectation that lenders would receive negligible (0 to 10%) recovery in the event of a payment default. (For the complete recovery analysis, please see the recovery report on Ford, published Nov. 4, 2009, on RatingsDirect.) Underwriters of the offering have an option to increase the convertible note offering by $375 million. We expect Ford to use proceeds to improve liquidity, including paying down a portion of the $10.2 billion drawn under its secured revolving credit facility due
