LONDON (Standard&Poor's) Jan. 26, 2009--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services today corrected errors relating to two pass-through securities linked to preference shares of Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LBG; A+/Negative/A-1) and The Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBSG; A/Stable/A-1), respectively. The issuers of the securities are Saphir Finance PLC in the case of the LBG-related issue, and Argon Capital PLC in the case of the RBSG-related issue. The ratings on the underlying LBG and RBSG preference shares were lowered on Jan. 14, 2009, and Jan. 19, 2009, respectively, in line with the ratings on their other junior subordinated issues. However, due to administrative errors, the ratings on the Saphir and Argon pass-through securities were not lowered on these dates.
