The rating agency gave Korail an A2 issuer rating and said the outlook is stable.

Bookrunners for the offering are Citigroup (C.N), HSBC (HSBA.L) and Morgan Stanley (MS.N), according to a source familiar with the deal.

Proceeds from the notes will be used for capital expenditure and debt refinancing, Moody's said. Korail provides railroad transportation services, repair and maintenance work and subway transit services.
