TAIPEI (Standard&Poor's) Oct. 11, 2010--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services today assigned its 'A-' issue rating to Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd.'s (Hon Hai, A-/Stable/--) proposed US$1 billion European convertible bonds due 2013. The rating on the bonds is subject to finalization of documentation. The rating on Hon Hai reflects the company's strong competitive position in the global electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry, low cost, unrivalled vertically integrated production model, and modest debt usage. The company's increasing business risks associated with the global contract EMS industry and continuing margin pressures partly constrain the ratings.
