Avon Products, Inc (NYSE:AVP) latest $500 million 3 year term loan maturing in June 2015 got ‘BBB’ rating from Fitch Ratings. Fitch anticipates that much of the proceeds would be used to lower commercial paper balances totaling $754 million at March 31, 2012.
Avon’s commercial paper program is for an increasing face amount not to surpass $1 billion and with maturities not to beat 270 days from the date of issue. Commercial paper is usually not redeemable earlier to maturity and is not dependent on voluntary prepayment.
Avon mentioned in its previous quarterly filing that demand for its CP had moved down. Fitch anticipates that leverage may be provisionally more than normal at quarter end given that the facility funded on June 29 and CP maturities may partially expand past that date.
