S&P ups MobiFon notes to B+

Standard & Poor's said it raised its ratings on MobiFon Holdings BV to BB from BB- on completion of Vodafone Group plc's (A/stable/A-1) acquisition of the company.

At the same time, S&P said it raised the rating on MobiFon Holdings' $223 million senior unsecured notes due 2010 to B+ from B while removing the ratings from CreditWatch.

The outlook is stable.

The ratings primarily reflect MobiFon's stand-alone credit quality, as the company is expected to be a non-recourse subsidiary of parent Vodafone, but they are constrained by the below-average demographics and risk associated with operating in Romania and also shoe the level of foreign-currency-denominated debt at the company.
