OREANDA-NEWS. May 5, 2012. Globaltrans Investment PLC (“Globaltrans” or the “Company”, and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Group”; LSE ticker: GLTR) has had its credit rating affirmed by Moody's following the Company's announcement on 27 April 2012 of its decision to acquire 100% of LLC Metalloinvesttrans (“MIT”) for USD 540 million on a debt and cash free basis.
Moody’s leaves Globaltrans’ credit rating at Ba3 with a positive outlook, retaining a potential for an upgrade over the next 12-18 months.
