Bank Loan & Recovery Ratings

Standard & Poor's Bank Loan Ratings are issue-specific ratings that capture the impact of covenants, collateral and other repayment protection provided specifically to holders of the senior bank debt. Bank loan ratings may be higher than the borrower's corporate credit ratings. Recovery Ratings are debt instrument-specific estimates of post-default recovery level.
