Credit-Rating, a nationally recognized credit rating agency in Ukraine has today announced that it assigned a long-term credit rating of uaBB- (uaBB minus) to registered coupon bonds (series A-C) to be issued by Kiev-based ZOLOTOY MANDARIN LLC (`Issuer` or `company`).

An obligor or a debt liability with uaBB credit rating is characterized with the LOWER THAN SUFFICIENT creditworthiness as compared to other Ukrainian obligors or debt liabilities. This level of creditworthiness is strongly affected by adverse changes in commercial, financial and economic conditions.

- The service and redemption of the bond issue is contingent upon full and in-time delivering of 2 concrete producing facilities, accompanied by the fact that the Issuer does not gain incomes from its principal activity.
