Summary of Internal Risk Rating for Corporate Debt
The Company’s internal risk rating rubric for corporate debt has nine categories as depicted below:
Risk Rating - Corporate DebtDescription
1-5 / PerformingMeets all present contractual obligations.
6 / Performing - Closely Monitored
Meets all present contractual obligations but exhibits a defined weakness in either leverage or liquidity, but not both. Loans at this rating will require closer monitoring, but where we expect no loss of interest or principal.
7 / SubstandardA loan that has a defined weakness in either leverage and/or liquidity, and which may require substantial changes to strengthen the asset. Loans at this rating level have a higher probability of loss, although no determination of the amount or timing of a loss is yet possible.
8 / Doubtful
A loan that has missed a scheduled principal or interest payment or is otherwise deemed a non-earning account. The probability of loss is increasingly certain due to significant performance issues.
9 / LossConsidered uncollectible.
