‘Due to an internal technical issue, some portions of text in certain S&P Global Ratings publications may not have displayed on our public website (spglobal.com), including Criteria, Requests for Comment on Criteria, rating action publications, and bulletins. As a result of the issue, some text may have been missing from impacted publications, but no text was altered in the publications or elsewhere on our website, including credit ratings and credit rating actions. Publications accessed via other platforms such as RatingsDirect and internal document libraries were not affected.

The issue potentially impacted publications accessed between April 9, 2021 and October 11, 2024.

S&P Global Ratings remains committed to providing transparency to the market through high quality credit ratings, analysis and research. Our Criteria and Requests for Comments on Criteria may be accessed here. We welcome written comments from market participants on Criteria currently in use and on proposed Criteria, which may be submitted here.’
