On March 31, 2008, Standard&Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Singapore Power Ltd. to 'AA-' from 'AA.' The outlook is negative. The rating is removed from CreditWatch, where it was placed on March 30, 2007, with negative implications, following the proposed sale of Alinta Ltd. (not rated) to a consortium that includes Babcock&Brown Ltd., a number of its managed funds, and Singapore Power Ltd. (SingPower). The ratings on SingPower had remained on CreditWatch with negative implications, following the December 2007 decision by SingPower's subsidiary, SP AusNet Group, to not buy Alinta Ltd.'s assets from SingPower. At the same time, the ratings on SingPower's Singapore dollar (S$) 300 million medium-term notes have been lowered
