Research Update: CIT Group Inc. Rating Lowered To 'BB-/B' From 'BBB-/A-3'; Placed On CreditWatch Negative Jun 09

Standard & Poors, June 2009

Abstract
CIT's funding profile has not benefited from converting into a bank holding company (BHC) to the degree we had expected, which has caused further erosion in liquidity available to repay maturing obligations and meet lending commitments. Thus far, CIT has not been granted access to the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP). We are lowering our rating on CIT to 'BB-/B' from 'BBB-/A-3' and placing it on CreditWatch Negative. We believe that CIT's liquidity position prospectively will deteriorate to a level inconsistent with the rating if it is unable to benefit from the TLGP and additional transfers of assets to CIT Bank. If CIT's liquidity position and funding costs benefit materially from current initiatives, we will remove the CreditWatch listing...

Action: Downgraded
