Janus Henderson Group

S&P Global Ratings has cut Janus Henderson’s long-term rating from BBB+ to BB following completion of the buyout by a consortium led by Trian and General Catalyst. Existing senior unsecured notes were downgraded to B+ because they are subordinated to secured liabilities in the newly formed parent company, Jupiter. Jupiter has drawn a $2.9bn Term Loan B and a $500m revolver; S&P expects leverage of 3.0x–4.0x and liquidity of about $300–400m, assigns a stable outlook, and says a further downgrade could occur if leverage rises above 5.0x or AUM falls sharply. » More on de.investing.com
