BENEFON OYJ: To Acquire DataArt Mobile Research & Dev't. Group
--------------------------------------------------------------
Benefon Oyj signed an agreement on May 9, under which Benefon
will acquire from DataArt Technologies U.K., services of a team
of software development engineers based in St. Petersburg,
Russia.  The team is exclusively subcontracted for Benefon.

Benefon will integrate the engineers into its Mobile Navigation
business while preserving the team's focus on designing
solutions that offer users the best in GPS software and
applications.  Located in St. Petersburg, the team will become a
new product development center for Benefon specializing in the
development of high-end mobile navigation solutions.

"This provides Benefon with another highly skilled R&D team and
high-tech facility.  This is further indication of Benefon's
continued commitment to the mobile navigation business and the
start of it's continued investment in developing a world class
R&D team," Simon Button, Benefon's Chief Technology Officer,
said.

"With Benefon, this team will have a chance to flourish and help
transform the way people experience mobile navigation.  
Benefon's strength in Europe has based on its commitment to
helping customers through value-added services and this team
will be a vital part of that," DataArt CEO Peter Atalla,
commented.

"Benefon is pleased to welcome the DataArt research and
development team and their recognized expertise in designing
mobile solutions," Benefon President and CEO Jonathan Bate said.  
"This is a very significant step in securing the ongoing
development of our products."

Headquartered in Salo, Finland, Benefon Oyj --

saving lives, securing assets and improving field management.  

At Dec. 31, 2005, Benefon Oyj's balance sheet showed EUR4.97 in
total assets and EUR7.30 million in total liabilities, resulting
in a EUR2.33 million stockholders' deficit.


BENEFON OYJ: Taps Ross Lovegrove to Design New Phones
-----------------------------------------------------
Benefon Oyj has commissioned London-based Ross Lovegrove to
design its future range of personal navigation devices.

creating consumer products for the likes of Sony, Apple and
Louis Vuitton.  He studied industrial design at Manchester
Polytechnic and at the Royal College of Art in London and was
formally the Chief Design Officer for Tag Heuer for five years.

"Critical to the success of Benefon's push into the personal
navigation market and the building of our global TWIG brand will
be consumer lead product design and innovation," Benefon CEO
Jonathan Bate said.  

Mr. Lovegrove's distinctive and innovative approach earned him
the World Technology Award for Design last November.  The prize
is part of an annual ceremony presented by the World Technology
Network, a global think tank and elite club based in New York
City, to honor the most innovative individuals and companies in
science and technology.  

"Our role will be to drive design in a number of key product
segments, creating a signature for Benefon," Mr. Lovegrove said.  
"The common thread being the use of high-quality materials and
strong form factors.  It's a very exciting opportunity to be
part of a new global brand in the mobile navigation industry."

"It is an absolute coup for Benefon to have a designer of the
caliber of Ross Lovegrove working on the design of our new
devices," Benefon Chairman Brian Katzen, said.  "Ross is an
innovative and visionary designer who has enjoyed enormous
global success in a range of fields."  

The agreement includes three phones with two-year exclusivity
provision and an option for a further three phones and an
additional exclusivity period of two years totaling four years.

RENO DE MEDICI: Repays EUR145 Million Debenture Loan
----------------------------------------------------
Reno De Medici S.p.A. disclosed that Reno De Medici
International S.A. has deposited an amount of EUR145 million
with the paying agent BNP Paribas, allotted for the full
repayment of its bond due for payment on May 4.

These funds derive from new loans and from amounts already at
the Reno De Medici Group's disposal as a result of the sale of
its non-core activities.

                     Loan Facilities

On April 6, Reno announced a stipulation over a EUR60 million
term loan with Banca Intesa S.p.A., SanpaoloIMI S.p.A., and
Unicredit Banca d'Impresa S.p.A.  On the same occassion, RedIm
S.r.l. has stipulated with Banca Intesa a EUR40 million loan
agreement.

The proceeds of the two loans were used to repay a EUR145-
million debenture loan issued by RDM International S.A.

Studio Lombardi Molinari e Associati acted as legal advisor of
RDM Group for the two financings.

RDM Loan

The RDM Loan is composed of two facilities:

   (a) EUR50 million ten-year amortizing facility; and
   (b) EUR10 million five-year revolving facility.

The RDM Loan provides for some undertakings of RDM, with
relative tolerance allowances, usual for these kind of
syndicated loans, which are, inter alia, maximum permitted
indebtedness, limits on dividend distribution, negative pledge,
limits on divestments of core assets, on capital expenditures
and on further extraordinary transactions.

With reference to the security package, the RDM Loan provides
mortgages and privileges on RDM's operating mills, to be
executed at the repayment of the Debenture Loan.

In relation to financial covenants, it is provided that RDM
maintain adequate working capital facilities and respect some
usual ratios, on a consolidated basis, as to monitor the
operating profitability, financial indebtedness and net worth.

The RDM Loan provides for the commitment of Alerion Industries
S.p.A. to acquire control of RedIm, if the demerger of RDM into
RDM Realty S.p.A. is not executed by Dec. 31, 2006.  The
decrease of the equity interest of Alerion in RDM below 19% in
the first three years of the RDM Loan constitutes an event of
default under the facility.

RedIm Loan

The RedIm Loan is composed of two five-year bullet facilities,
amounting in total to EUR20 million and a further 12-month EUR20
million facility.

With reference to the security package, the five-year facilities
provide for mortgages on RedIm's land and buildings while the
12-month facility will be guaranteed by a first demand banking
guarantee issued on behalf of Alerion and with no recourse to
RedIm.  

As for the RDM Loan, the RedIm Loan provides some undertakings
of RedIm, with relative tolerance allowances, which are, maximum
permitted indebtedness, negative pledge, limits on divestments
of core assets, on capital expenditures and on further
extraordinary transactions.

In relation to financial covenants, the RedIm Loan provides for,
with respect to the five-year facility and to the mortgaged
assets, a minimum loan-to-value ratio.

Eventually, even the RedIm Loan provides for the commitment of
Alerion to acquire control of RedIm, if the demerger of RDM into
RDM Realty S.p.A. is not executed by Dec. 31.

Pursuant to the full repayment of the debenture loan issued by
Reno De Medici International on May 4, Reno De Medici S.p.A.
revoked the mandate to Standard & Poor's Rating Services on
May 10.

OI EUROPEAN: Moody's Affirms Parent's B2 Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B1 rating to the proposed
US$1.5 billion senior secured first lien credit facilities of
Owens-Brockway Glass Container, the principal U.S. operating
subsidiary of Owens-Illinois, Inc.  

Moody's also affirmed O-I's B2 corporate family rating and
ratings on O-I's senior unsecured notes and preferred stock,
rated B3 and Caa1, respectively, as well as OBGC's secured and
unsecured notes, rated B1 and B2, respectively.

Key ratings factors for packaging companies include:

   -- financial leverage and interest coverage;

   -- operating profile as reflected in operating profitability
      and asset efficiency; and

   -- competitive position as reflected in revenue size, the
      value-added nature of the company's products, ability of
      customers to switch to other suppliers, and substrate
      diversity.

In assessing the ratings, Moody's weighed most heavily O-I's
high financial leverage and modest interest coverage.  Although
the new credit facilities do augment O-I's liquidity, weak free
cash flow generation and significant debt maturities in the near
to intermediate term imply less financial flexibility than would
otherwise be expected for a firm of O-I's operating profile and
competitive position. Pro forma for the proposed refinancing, O-
I's total debt to EBITDA, adjusted for asbestos liabilities,
operating leases, and unfunded pension liabilities, is in the
range of 5.5 times, while free cash flow to debt is below 5.0%
and EBIT to interest coverage below 1.5x.

O-I's US$7.1 billion in 2005 revenue, operating margins in the
high single to low double digit range, and strong market
positions in North and South America, Europe, and Asia would
otherwise support higher ratings.

The ratings or outlook could be lowered if an exogenous shock or
other event results in a material impairment of the company's
ability to generate free cash flow or otherwise harms the firm's
operating profile or competitive position. Evidence of
sustainable improvement in free cash flow relative to debt over
the next few quarters, while the operating profile and
competitive position remains at least stable, could result in an
upgrade of the ratings.

Based in Toledo, Ohio, Owens-Illinois, Inc. is a leading global
manufacturer of glass containers and plastic packaging products.
For the twelve months ended Dec. 31, 2005, O-I had revenue of
approximately US$7.2 billion.

GLOBAL HIGH: Defaults on Outstanding Notes
------------------------------------------
The Global High Yield Bond Trust Ltd. said it no longer holds a
portfolio of Collateral Debt Obligations, the entire portfolio
having been liquidated prior to the April 2006 Payment Date, and
all cash attributable to the Noteholders has been distributed in
accordance with the Priority of Payments.

The Issuer has ceased to carry on a substantial part of its
business and therefore there exists an Issuer Event of Default.  

The Trustee may, at any time, or will, if requested in writing
by holders of at least 25% in Aggregate Outstanding Amount of
the most senior Class of Notes outstanding, or if so directed by
an Extraordinary Resolution of the most senior Class of
Noteholders outstanding and having been indemnified to its
satisfaction declare by written notice to the Issuer that each
Note of each Class is immediately due and payable.

At any time after the delivery of an Enforcement Notice, the
Trustee may, at its discretion, or if so directed in writing by
holders of at least 25% in Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
most senior Class of Notes outstanding, or if directed by an
Extraordinary Resolution of the most senior Class of Notes
outstanding and having been indemnified to its satisfaction,
take steps necessary as to enforce the Security over the
Collateral.

The Trustee does not intend to use its discretion to declare the
Notes due and payable or to send an Enforcement Notice to the
Issuer or take any further steps in respect of the Notes unless
directed as above.

The Issuer refers the Noteholders to the Limited Recourse
provisions in Condition 4.4 which state that if the net proceeds
of realization of Security upon Enforcement are less than the
aggregate amount payable by the Issuer in respect of the Notes
the obligations of the Issuer will be limited to such net
proceeds which shall be applied in accordance with the Priority
of Payments.

The Issuer confirms that all assets attributable to the
Noteholders have been distributed and there are no further
assets or Security available for Noteholders to enforce.  As
such the remaining outstanding Notes will not receive any
further interest or principal repayments and are to be redeemed
at zero.

Notes affected:

      Class B Floating Rate Notes
      (ISIN XS0110377636)                       EUR19,697,800

      Class C Floating Rate Notes
      (ISIN XS0110377719)                       EUR19,900,000

      Class D Floating Rate Notes
      (ISIN XS0110377800)                       EUR10,000,000

Following the redemption of all Notes, it is the Issuer's
intention to propose a resolution for a voluntary winding up of
itself in due course.  All Notes will be cancelled.

The issuer, The Global High Yield Bond Trust Ltd., was
incorporated in Guernsey, Channel Islands as a public company
with limited liability on Jan. 25, 2000.

                        *     *     *

As reported in TCR-Europe on May 10, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its ratings on the class B, C, and D notes
issued by The Global High Yield Bond Trust Ltd. to 'D'.

class A notes of the transaction have been withdrawn.

POLESTAR CORP: S&P Places B- Rating on Watch Negative
-----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term
corporate credit rating on The Polestar Corp. PLC to 'B-' from
'B'.  

The 'B' rating on the senior secured bank loan issued by related
entity The Polestar Group Ltd. was also lowered to 'B-' from
'B'.  At the same time, all ratings were placed on CreditWatch
with negative implications.

"The rating action and CreditWatch placement reflect Standard &
Poor's concerns about Polestar's diminishing liquidity over the
next 12 months," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Paul
Draffin.  "S&P expects liquidity to be negatively affected by
weaker-than-anticipated operating performance and significant
approaching debt amortization requirements."

Given these concerns, the lowering of the rating to 'B-' is
deemed appropriate at this time, pending further review.

Polestar's operating performance during the six months to March
31, 2006, has been adversely affected by poor market conditions,
with both volumes and prices suffering in the context of weak
market demand and excess industry capacity.  Given the high
fixed costs inherent in the printing market, these factors,
together with higher-than-expected utility costs, have
materially reduced the group's earnings and cash flows and
absorbed a greater-than-expected level of available liquidity.

"Standard & Poor's expects to resolve the CreditWatch placement
in the next one to two weeks," Mr. Draffin added.  "The review
is likely to result in either an affirmation of the 'B-' rating
or a one-notch downgrade."


RANK GROUP: Buys Back 850,000 Ordinary Shares for Cancellation
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Rank Group PLC bought back 850,000 ordinary shares of 10

                        *     *     *

As reported in the TCR-Europe on March 8 Moody's Investors
Service assigned a Ba2 corporate family rating to The Rank Group
Plc and concurrently downgraded the senior unsecured long-term
debt ratings of Rank Group Finance Plc (guaranteed by The Rank
Group Plc) to Ba2 (from Baa3).

At the same time, Fitch Ratings downgraded The Rank Group PLC's
Long-term Issuer Default rating and Senior Unsecured ratings to
BB- from BB+ and removed them from Rating Watch Negative.  A
Negative Outlook is assigned.  The Short-term rating is affirmed
at B.  The downgrade follows the disposal of its film processing
business, Deluxe Film, and confirmation of a return of capital
to shareholders announced in conjunction with its 2005
preliminary results.

In addition, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its
long- and short-term corporate credit ratings on U.K.-based
diversified leisure and entertainment company The Rank Group PLC
to 'BB-/B' from 'BBB-/A-3'.  S&P said the outlook is stable.

TITAN EUROPE: S&P Puts BB-Rated Class F Notes on Positive Watch
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its credit ratings on
the class B, C, D, E, and F notes issued by Titan Europe 2005-1
PLC on CreditWatch with positive implications.
  
The CreditWatch placements follow an initial review of the most
recent transaction information received by Standard & Poor's.  
This analysis showed that the likelihood of a positive rating
action has increased due to the prepayment of two loans at the
April interest payment date.  At this date, both Berlin
Multifamily portfolios (I and II) prepaid.  At closing, these
loans represented 11% and 7% of the transaction, respectively.
  
The prepayments and scheduled amortization in the transaction
have improved the levels of credit enhancement available to the
class B, C, D, and E notes, and the LTV ratios for all classes.
  
Standard & Poor's will now execute a more detailed transaction
analysis to investigate whether any or all of these notes can
attain a higher rating.  The results of this review and any
rating changes are expected within a month of this media
release.
  
The transaction, which closed in July 2005, was backed
originally by six loans secured on 32 properties located in
Germany, and originated by Credit Suisse International
(A+/Positive/A-1).
  
The CreditWatch placements are in line with the updated policy
on the use of CreditWatch.
