Our earlier coverage of Fitch’s rating on Hainan Rubber’s proposed subordinated perpetual sustainable securities explained that the notes were rated below the issuer rating due to their subordinated position in the capital structure and the option to defer coupons. We also outlined Fitch’s view of the company’s leverage and liquidity profile, as well as the role of state-linked support in underpinning funding access.
