It prescribes a standard No Default Statement template for issuer confirmations of defaults and payment delays, and permits earlier withdrawal of ratings on multi-rated instruments subject to continuous rating tenure, a bondholder no-objection certificate, and an issuer undertaking; withdrawal must be accompanied by an assigned rating and a press release explaining reasons.
