Mexican hotel operator Grupo Posadas' liability management could significantly improve its capital structure and mitigate its liquidity risks. Grupo Posadas is planning a debt repayment with the proceeds from about $270 million in assets sales. The company is also planning to refinance its outstanding debt through a proposed $225 million senior unsecured notes issuance due 2017. We are assigning a 'B' issue-level rating and a recovery rating of '3' to the proposed notes. We're keeping our 'CCC+' global scale and 'mxB+' national scale ratings on the company on CreditWatch with positive implications, and will resolve it once the tender offer is closed and the company completes its refinancing plan.
