Abstract:

Vericast Corp. plans to refinance its debt structure and extend its nearest term loan and notes maturities to 2026. If completed, the transaction would alleviate the company's near-term maturity risk, but leverage would remain elevated due to the company's substantial debt burden. S&P Global Ratings is affirming its 'CCC+' issuer credit rating on Vericast and revising the outlook to stable from negative. We are assigning our 'B-' rating to the company's proposed first-lien notes and our 'CCC-' rating to its proposed second-lien notes. At the same time, we are placing our 'CCC+' rating on the company's proposed amended first-lien term loan on CreditWatch with positive implications. If the transaction closes as proposed, we will raise the issue-level rating one notch
