Abstract:

Business-to-business (B2B) information and services company Infopro Digital Group B.V. (Infopro Digital) plans to refinance its debt with €685 million of new senior secured notes and €120 million of its cash on balance sheet, and by upsizing its revolving credit facility (RCF).

We are therefore affirming our 'B-' issuer credit rating on Infopro Digital. At the same time, we are assigning a'B-' issue rating with a '3' recovery rating to the proposed senior secured notes, and affirming the 'B+' issue rating, with a recovery rating
