...NEW YORK (S&P Global Ratings) June 7, 2018--S&P Global Ratings today said it assigned its 'B+' debt rating on Navient Corp.'s $500 million senior unsecured notes due in 2026. The debt rating is one notch below the '##-' long-term issuer credit rating on Navient because the company's tangible unencumbered assets are less than its outstanding unsecured debt. We exclude from unencumbered assets the company's overcollateralization balances associated with its asset-backed securities trusts. Navient intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purchases, including debt repurchases.
