Completion of El Pollo Loco's (LOCO) IPO Would be Credit-Positive Event - Moody's

Moody's Investors Service commented that El Pollo Loco's (Nasdaq: LOCO)("EPL") ability to complete a $100 million initial public offering as planned would have an immediate positive impact on the company's overall credit profile, and possibly its issuer-level ratings. However, given the inherent uncertainty surrounding the company's ability to execute such a transaction, and the fact that there is currently nothing to prevent EPL from issuing additional debt in the future other than a 7.5 times debt/EBITDA maintenance covenant contained in its first lien bank agreement, no ratings change is being considered at this time.
