Credit rating rationale. The issue is a senior unsecured debt instrument of Pioneer Leasing Ltd. (hereinafter, Pioneer Leasing, or the Company). Due to the absence of either structural or contractual subordination of the issue, ACRA regards it as equal to other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company in terms of priority. The recovery rate for the bond issue belongs to category II as per ACRA’s methodology. Therefore, the bond issue is assigned the credit rating BB-(RU), i.e. on par with the credit rating of Pioneer Leasing.
The BB-(RU) credit rating of Pioneer Leasing is based on its very weak capital adequacy assessment and satisfactory risk profile assessment. The rating is also affected by the moderately low business profile and satisfactory funding and liquidity assessments.
