Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B' long-term corporate credit and 'CCC+' subordinated debt ratings on Toronto-based beverage manufacturer Cott Corp. on CreditWatch with negative implications. "The CreditWatch listing follows Cott's announcement that ongoing negotiations with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. could result in a reduction of shelf space and merchandising support for its private label carbonated soft drinks in the U.S.," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lori Harris.
