“The CreditWatch placement reflects our receipt of CHI’s fiscal year-end statements and commentary, which combined with other non-financial factors is reflective of continued ongoing financial and operational problems,” said S&P analyst Martin Arrick. “While some progress has been made on CHI’s improvement plan, some slippage is also evident.”
