Split Rating Adjustment definition

Split Rating Adjustment. For the purpose of determining the appropriate Rating Period, the rating of the Benchmark Debt shall be subject to adjustment as follows. In the event that the Benchmark Debt is rated at equivalent rating levels or not more than one rating level apart by S&P (or any generally accepted successor to S&P) and Moody's (or any generally accepted successor to Moody's), then no adjustment shall apply. Otherwise, the higher of the two ratings shall be deemed to be reduced to the next lower rating level. For this purpose, (i) determination of the rating level shall take into account "+" and "-" modifiers to S&P ratings and numerical modifiers to Moody's ratings (so that, for example, an S&P rating of A- shall be deemed equivalent to a Xxxxx'x rating of A3, an S&P rating of BBB+ shall be deemed equivalent to a Xxxxx'x rating of Baa1, an S&P rating of BBB shall be deemed equivalent to a Xxxxx'x rating of Baa2, an S&P rating of BBB- shall be deemed equivalent to a Xxxxx'x rating of Baa3, and so on), and (ii) by way of clarification, in the event the Benchmark Debt is rated by only one of the two referenced rating agencies, such rating shall be deemed to be reduced to the next lower rating level.

  • Highest Rating Category means, with respect to a Permitted Investment, that the Permitted Investment is rated by S&P or Moody’s in the highest rating category given by that rating agency for that general category of security. By way of example, the Highest Rating Category for tax exempt municipal debt established by S&P is “A 1+” for debt with a term of one year or less and “AAA” for a term greater than one year, with corresponding ratings by Moody’s of “MIG 1” (for fixed rate) or “VMIG 1” (for variable rate) for three months or less and “Aaa” for greater than three months. If at any time (i) both S&P and Moody’s rate a Permitted Investment and (ii) one of those ratings is below the Highest Rating Category, then such Permitted Investment will, nevertheless, be deemed to be rated in the Highest Rating Category if the lower rating is no more than one rating category below the highest rating category of that rating agency. For example, a Permitted Investment rated “AAA” by S&P and “Aa3” by Moody’s is rated in the Highest Rating Category. If, however, the lower rating is more than one full rating category below the Highest Rating Category of that Rating Agency, then the Permitted Investment will be deemed to be rated below the Highest Rating Category. For example, a Permitted Investment rated “AAA” by S&P and “A1” by Moody’s is not rated in the Highest Rating Category.
