Global Corporate Default Update

(July 31, 2009 – August 6, 2009) (Premium)
NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's) August 7, 2009— Seven global corporate issuers defaulted this
week, bringing the 2009 year-to-date tally to 194 issuers—nearly 4x the 52 defaults at this time in
2008. This week’s defaults were largely concentrated in the U.S., where five out of seven of the
defaulters originated from, with the remaining two defaulters originating from the emerging
markets. The default tallies by region now stand at 137 issuers in the U.S., 11 in Europe, 33 in the
emerging markets, and 13 in the other developed region (Australia, Canada, Japan, and New
Zealand).

Distressed exchanges largely led this week’s default charge with five out of seven issuers having
their ratings revised to ‘SD’ as a result. Distressed exchanges have surged this year, with the
current tally of 60 issuers at 4x the full-year 2008 total and 15x the count of four issuers in 2007.
For more information on distressed exchanges, see “Global Credit Comment : Bondholders
Get Buzzed (Premium),” published May 1, 2009, on RatingsDirect.

The remaining two defaults this week were a result of missed interest payments, which currently
is the top reason for default this year at 67 issuers. Bankruptcy filings have also surged with 52
issuers so far this year that have filed for bankruptcy-protection, which has surpassed the full-year
2008 total of 49 bankruptcy-related defaults. The sharp increase in corporate bankruptcies brings
with it significant difficulties to private equity investors, particularly for those whose buyout
activities in the past several years placed much of their risks squarely in the speculative-grade
domain. Indeed, more than half of the defaulters this year either had or continue to have private
equity involvement, which presents both challenges and opportunities to private equity investors
during restructuring and reorganization. For more information, see “Global Credit Comment:
Exposure To Deteriorating Assets Increases Risks To Private Equity (Premium),” published
May 29, 2009.

Of the global corporate defaulters so far this year, 40% of issues with available recovery ratings
had recovery ratings of ‘6’ (indicating our expectation for negligible recovery of 0%-10%), 17%
of issues had recovery ratings of ‘5’ (modest recovery prospects of 10%-30%), 12% had recovery
ratings of ‘4’ (average recovery prospects of 30%-50%), and 10% had recovery ratings of ‘3’
(meaningful recovery prospects of 50%-70%). And for the remaining two rating categories, 12%
of issues had recovery ratings of ‘2’ (substantial recovery prospects of 70%-90%) and 9% of
issues had recovery ratings of ‘1’ (very high recovery prospects of 90%-100%). For more details
on recovery, see "Bank Loan Ratings (BLRs) And Recovery Ratings (Monthly List),"
published July 13, 2009, on RatingsDirect.

The precipitous increase in defaults reflects a pronounced decline in economic fundamentals and
earnings prospects, as well as the continued unfavorable environment to the lowest rungs of the
ratings latter, effectively halting lending to low-rated speculative-grade borrowers. A large
number of defaults likely will be concentrated in the first two or three quarters of 2009 as a result
of these factors, coupled with distressed exchange offers. Four other factors make the current
environment more conducive to defaults: deep recessionary conditions in the U.S., a record-high
proportion of issuers with speculative-grade ratings, the highest volume of low-rated issuance
since 2003, and the seasoning of much of the debt rated 'B-' or lower issued in the past several
years.

Because of these factors, our current 12-month-trailing U.S. corporate speculative-grade default
rate forecast is 13.9% by mid-2010, with a pessimistic scenario of 18% and an optimistic scenario
of 11.4%.
