Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has withdrawn the debt ratings and outlook for 21st Century Fox America, Inc ("21CF" or "the company") as a result of TWDC Holdco 613 Corp.'s (New Disney) successful tender offer and consent solicitation to remove substantially all of the restrictive covenants and 21CF's reporting requirement. Pursuant to the offer, New Disney has exchanged almost all outstanding debt issued by 21CF for notes issued by TWDC HoldCo 613 Corp. (New Disney) (A2, stable outlook).
