March 03, 2016

DBRS has today published two updated general corporate criteria as follows:

(1) DBRS Recovery Ratings for Non-Investment Grade Corporate Issuers; and
(2) DBRS Criteria: Rating Market-Linked Securities.

These updates supersede previous versions published in February 2015 and April 2015, respectively. While certain details have been clarified in these methodologies, changes overall are not material, and DBRS has determined that no ratings have changed as a result of these updates.

DBRS rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available at www.dbrs.com.
