KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Rating Corp Bhd (MARC) has downgraded the RM20 million debt notes of Dawama Sdn Bhd ' which has a concession to print school textbooks on behalf of Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka.
The ratings agency said on Friday, April 29 it had lowered its rating on the Musyarakah Medium Term Notes Junior Sukuk to 'D' from 'CIS' to reflect missed profit payment on April 27, 2011 following notification from the Sukuk trustee that it has been instructed not to release any profit payment on the Junior Sukuk.
