Policy for Withdrawal, Maturity, and Suspension

Withdrawal

Ratings are ‘withdrawn’ in situations where the rating agreement is cancelled and/or cessation of the business operations of a rated entity.

Maturity

Ratings are categorized as ‘matured’ when the rated issue/fund reaches its maturity and fully redeemed.

Suspension

Ratings are suspended where there is apparent lack of cooperation regarding access and provision of information or for other reasons. An appropriate notification of the suspension will be announced in case it was previously a publicly announced rating.
