S&P Assigns BBB Rating on Hong Kong Telecommunications Subsidiary's Medium-Term Note Program

MT Newswires Live07-05

S&P Global Ratings assigned a BBB long-term issue rating to Hong Kong Telecommunications subsidiary HKT Capital's proposed multi-currency unsecured and unsubordinated medium-term note program, the rating agency said in a note published on Thursday.

S&P said the program's rating is similar to Hong Kong Telecommunications' issuer credit rating, reflecting "minimal subordination risk in the company's capital structure."

The rating agency said it does not forecast a significant change in the capital structure of Hong Kong Telecommunications and HKT Trust and HKT (HKG:6823), which fully owns the telco through HKT Group Holdings, following the program.

The rating agency said that Hong Kong Telecommunications and HKT Group Holdings guarantee the note program on an unsubordinated and unsecured basis.
