In addition, Fitch maintains its negative rating watch on the bonds and issuer default rating.

The downgrade is a result of TRMC’s inability to restore liquidity and political instability in its governing board.

The negative rating watch reflects S&P’s unfavorable opinion regarding the fractured governance of TRMC.
