“The lowered rating reflects our understanding that during August 2016, Terrebonne issued $20 million of direct placement debt,” said S&P analyst Melanie Her. “The issuance of this debt impacted our view of Terrebonne’s previous positive override for high unrestricted reserves as it relates to long-term debt.”

The outlook is stable.
