Moody's Investors Service says that Adani Transmission (ATL’s) Baa3 senior secured rating is not immediately affected by its announcement that it has entered into a period of exclusivity with RInfra in relation to discussions for a proposed acquisition of certain power generation, transmission and distribution assets of Reliance.
A proposed acquisition is subject to several conditions, including satisfactory due diligence, execution of documentation and certain approvals.
"The ultimate impact on ATL's credit profile would depend upon a number of factors, including the ultimate terms of any deal and potential impact on ATL's financial profile and capital structure, and our assessment of Reliance's assets and potential capital requirements" says Abhishek Tyagi, a Moody's Vice President and Senior Analyst.
