Moody's said it would continue its review for the possible downgrade of the long-term and short-term credit ratings of Marsh & McLennan Companies (MMC).
The ratings agency said MMC's agreement with a group of arranging banks to extend its long-term loan facility to $2.7bn would not signal a ratings change.
But, it said, the ratings would remain under review and "could be lowered further as MMC's circumstances evolve in the short term".
