Moody’s: Weight Watchers unaffected

Moody's Investors Service said Weight Watchers International, Inc.'s announcement that Oprah Winfrey has invested $43 million for a 10% equity stake is a positive credit development as the new cash will improve liquidity and Winfrey's involvement in the company, including as a board member and spokesperson, could lead to subscriber growth.

However, Weight Watcher's B3 corporate family and senior secured ratings and negative credit outlook are not affected at this time.
