Moody’s Local Brazil’s review will focus on the company’s willingness to provide additional information regarding the assessment of its financial investments and liquidity position, in light of its short- and medium-term obligations and compliance with covenants. “Factors that could lead to an upgrade or downgrade. Rating upgrades are unlikely given the review of downgrades.”
