    Creditreform Rating AG downgraded the unsolicited corporate issuer rating of Autoroutes du Sud de la France S.A. from A- to BBB+. The outlook has been revised from negative to stable. The rating result is currently constrained by the unsolicited corporate issuer rating of its parent company VINCI S.A. (BBB+ / stable) because of its significant influence on ASF´s rating.

The outlook has been revised from negative to stable because we already anticipate a lower than average performance for the current business year.

However, we see the Company as well-prepared for the crisis, due to its sound financial metrics, in particular its liquidity and profitability, confirming its rating at A-.
