The ratings firm said it expects Convergys will have to renegotiate the terms of a $400 million credit facility and redeem senior notes due next year before it can complete any spin-off of its business units.

Cincinnati-based Convergys offers call-center, billing and employee care outsourcing.

Earlier Tuesday, the company said its board of directors and senior management team are considering separating its business divisions in a bid to boost each unit's competitive position.

The company said it expects to make a decision in the fourth quarter.

Fitch said it expects the resolution of its rating outlook will follow the conclusion of Convergys' review.
