	Fitch IBCA Ratings - Press Releases - Elektra's Monetization of TV Azteca Investment a Potential Credit Pos
		CASA is expected to fund the transaction on a non-recourse basis to Elektra, both directly and indirectly, and is a key factor in the ultimate level of improvement of Elektra's credit fundamentals.
		Elektra is planning to accelerate the pace of new store openings over the next few years, following a period of moderate growth that focused on remodeling and updating existing new stores.
		Fitch believes this risk is diminishing as Elektra continues to take steps to ensure its independence, including the formation of an independent board, the introduction of new corporate governance procedures, and most recently the announcement that it will divest its investment in TV Azteca.
