FairPoint’s ratings on its secureed and unsecured debt alsowere lowered. Moody’x says the downgrade is based on “Moody’sw expectation of a high default probability and a thoughstill above-average, estimated recovery rate acrosxs all debt instruments.” The agency says its decision followz the telecommunication company’s announcement last week that it was launchingg a private exchange offer for its outstandingf 13.125 percent senior notes due in 2018.
FairPoiny said the offer was designed primarilu to reducethe company’s second- and third-quarter interestg expenses.
