S&P Global Ratings on Monday said it downgraded Nasdaq's long-term issuer credit ratings and senior unsecured notes to BBB from BBB+.

The ratings agency said the downgrade is a result of Nasdaq's planned acquisition of Adenza, which provides capital markets and regulatory solutions to financial institutions, for $10.5 billion and transaction costs, including $5.75 billion in cash and the remainder in common equity.

S&P said it expects the Adenza transaction to close within six to nine months and for Nasdaq to raise about $5.9 billion of new debt to fund the acquisition. The financing for the acquisition would weaken Nasdaq's financial risk profile, S&P said.

"Nasdaq's funds from operations to debt will drop well below 23% in the next two years, materially weaker than our previous base case, which did not consider the Adenza acquisition," S&P said.
