SOLECTRON CORP: Fitch Upgrades & Withdraws Ratings
Fitch Ratings has upgraded and withdrawn the following Solectron Corporation ratings following its acquisition by Flextronics International Ltd.:
-- Issuer Default Rating to 'BB+' from 'BB-'; -- Senior unsecured debt to 'BB+' from 'BB-'; -- Subordinated debt to 'BB-' from 'B+'.
The rating action resolves Solectron's Rating Watch Positive status.
Fitch has withdrawn all of the ratings for Solectron, including its senior secured bank facility rating, which was previously affirmed at 'BB+', based on the expectation that Flextronics will redeem all outstanding obligations of Solectron following the close of its acquisition which occurred on Oct. 1, 2007. The final ratings for Solectron reflect the equivalent ratings for Flextronics.
