Lenovo Standard & Poor's said it placed Burger King's B+ rating on CreditWatch for possible upgrade after the announcement.

Travelstar "If the transaction is successfully completed as proposed, and the company operating results improve such that leverage falls to less than 5x in fiscal 2006, all ratings would be raised to a 'BB-' and a stable outlook would be assigned.

At the same time, Standard & Poor's placed its ratings on Burger King, including the 'B+' corporate credit and bank loan ratings, on CreditWatch with positive implications.
