206353k) have until March 7 to file written proofs of claim to
estate administrator Ulla Reisch at:

         Praterstrasse 62-64
         1020 Vienna
         Austria
         Tel: 01/212 55 00

         E-mail: office.wien@ulsr.at

Creditors and other interested parties are encouraged to attend
the creditors' meeting at 9:00 a.m. on March 21 for examination
of claims.

The meeting of creditors will be held at:

         The Land Court of Korneuburg
         Room 204
         Second Floor
         Korneuburg, Austria

Headquartered in Schwechat, Austria, the Debtor declared
bankruptcy on Jan. 23  (Bankr. Case No. 36 S 10/07y).


LEAR CORP: Buyout Deal Cues S&P to Lower Credit Ratings to B
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its corporate credit
rating on Southfield, Mich.-based Lear Corp. to 'B' from 'B+'
and placed its ratings on CreditWatch with negative implications
following Lear's announcement that it had agreed to be acquired
by Carl Icahn-controlled American Real Estate Partners, L.P.

AREP has offered to purchase Lear for US$36 per share in cash,
or more than US$2 billion.  AREP currently owns about 20% of
Lear.

"The downgrade reflects our expectation that the transaction
will result in an increase in debt at Lear," said Standard &
Poor's credit analyst Robert Schulz.

The CreditWatch resolution will focus on the post-transaction
capital structure and any shifts in the company's business
strategies, whether from the Icahn transaction or as a result of
any other bids that may arise.  The 'B+' rating on Lear's senior
secured bank debt is affirmed and is not on CreditWatch, since
S&P expects that change in control language in the bank
agreement means that the bank facility will be replaced at
closing.  While some of the senior unsecured debt issues also
contain change in control language, the offer by AREP does not
trigger change in control provisions in those bonds.

Lear, an automotive supplier, has total debt of about US$3.7
billion, including the present value of operating leases and
underfunded employee benefit liabilities.

Although Lear has strong market positions, good growth prospects
outside of North America, and fair financial flexibility, its
operating performance has been challenged by severe industry
pressures that caused credit protection measures to weaken in
recent years.  Lear reported improved results during 2006,
following very poor performance during 2005 when full-year
EBITDA fell by 35%.  Core operating earnings, as defined by Lear
to exclude restructuring costs and special charges, increased by
22% in 2006, but still remain relatively low.  Cash from
operating activities, before the net change in accounts
receivable sold but after capital spending, was US$116 million
in 2006, compared to a negative US$419 million in 2005.  Lear
has agreed to sell its U.S. interior components operations to a
joint venture controlled by Wilbur Ross, following a similar
transaction for its European business.

ARVINMERITOR INC: DBRS Rates US$175-Mln Senior Notes at BB (low)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dominion Bond Rating Service assigned a rating of BB (low) to
the US$175 million Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes of
ArvinMeritor Inc.  The trend is Stable.

The company is expected to use proceeds from the issuance to
repay outstanding indebtedness under its Term Loan B, with no
impact on net leverage.  In conjunction with the new issue, DBRS
is confirming the ratings of the company's existing Convertible
Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes at BB (low),
with Stable trends, respectively.

The company's financial and business risk profile has modestly
increased over the past year, but remains within the range of
acceptability for the current rating.  The company continues to
face challenging light vehicle market conditions, notably from
declining OEM production in North America, pricing pressure, and
higher-than-expected raw material costs.  These factors have
largely contributed to weak margins in its light vehicle systems
segment, and are not expected to ease over the near-term.  In
addition, the company's commercial vehicle systems segment
margins have also weakened despite strong industry demand,
largely related to increased costs.

The company's exposure to the significant expected decline in
commercial vehicle demand in 2007 has increased following the
sale of its Emissions Technology business for US$310 million.
The CVS segment will account for roughly 67% of total sales upon
closing of the transaction, which is expected in fiscal third
quarter 2007.

DBRS views the sale of its ET business as generally neutral to
the credit profile of ARM; the increase in liquidity and removal
of a lower-margin business is largely offset by the loss of ET
earnings and cash flow, and the Company's heightened earnings
sensitivity to the looming industry slowdown.

Over the near-term, sharper-than-expected declines in commercial
vehicle volumes, particularly in the event of slowing economic
conditions, further production cuts by light vehicle OEMs, and
rising raw material costs are key risks to ARM's profitability.

The company is highly dependent on efficiency gains, largely
related to its restructuring initiatives, to moderate the impact
of the above noted challenges on earnings.  In absence of
sufficient cost savings, the lower-than-expected earnings and
cash flow will weaken leverage and coverage ratios and likely
have negative implications for the rating.

The confirmation of the company's rating reflects the company's
well diversified customer mix, including modest relative
exposure to the North American Big 3, the expectation for near-
term free cash flow generation, good liquidity position, and
favorable debt repayment schedule.


LEAR CORP: Inks US$5.3 Billion Merger Deal with Icahn Affiliate
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lear Corporation and American Real Estate Partners, L.P., an
affiliate of Carl C. Icahn, have entered into an agreement for
Lear to be acquired by AREP, in a transaction valued at
approximately US$5.3 billion, including the assumption of debt.
Under the terms of the agreement, Lear shareholders would
receive US$36.00 per share in cash.  Closing is expected to
occur by the end of the second quarter of 2007.

Under the terms of the agreement, Lear may solicit alternative
proposals from third parties for a period of 45 days from the
execution of the agreement and intends to consider any such
proposals with the assistance of its independent advisors.  In
addition, Lear may, at any time, subject to the terms of the
merger agreement, respond to unsolicited proposals.  If Lear
accepts a superior proposal, a break-up fee would be payable to
AREP.

"Following a very thorough review of the proposed transaction,
our Board unanimously concluded that the AREP offer was in the
best interests of Lear's shareholders," Bob Rossiter, Lear's
chairman and chief executive officer, commented.  "We believe
that the transaction price, which represents a multiple of about
9x our forecasted 2007 core operating earnings -- excluding the
Interior business, provides shareholders with significant value.
Furthermore, we intend to solicit other offers to ensure that
value is maximized for all of our shareholders."

"Lear is an excellent company with a strong management team in
place," said Carl Icahn.  "We look forward to working with
Lear's team to improve its long-term competitiveness, capitalize
on growth opportunities globally and to build an even stronger
and more valuable company in the future."

In connection with the transaction, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
served as a financial advisor and Winston & Strawn, LLP served
as legal counsel to a Special Committee of Lear's Board of
Directors. Bank of America provided American Real Estate
Partners, L.P. with debt financing commitments for this
transaction.

The agreement is subject to the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Lear common stock,
regulatory filings and approvals and other customary closing
conditions.  Upon the closing of the transaction, shares of Lear
common stock will no longer be listed on the New York Stock
Exchange or publicly-traded.

ALCATEL-LUCENT: Posts EUR618-Million Net Loss for 4th Qtr 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Alcatel-Lucent reviewed and approved
reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2006.

Alcatel-Lucent registered EUR522 million in net profit on
EUR18.25 billion in net revenues for the full year 2006,
compared with EUR1.67 billion in net profit on EUR18.57 billion
in net revenues for the full year 2005.

Alcatel-Lucent reported EUR618 million in net losses against
EUR4.42 billion in net revenues for the fourth quarter 2006,
compared with EUR381 million in net profit on EUR5.25 billion in
net revenues for the same period in 2005.

The fourth quarter 2006 reported results include Alcatel stand-
alone operations for October and November 2006, and the combined
operations of Alcatel-Lucent for December 2006.  Businesses to
be contributed to Thales are presented as discontinued
activities.  There were neither capital gains nor cash proceeds
from the Thales transaction recognized during the quarter.
Results from Nortel's UMTS radio access business are not
included as the transaction was completed on Dec. 31, 2006.

"This is the first quarter that Alcatel-Lucent is reporting
results as a combined company," Patricia Russo, Chief Executive
of Alcatel-Lucent, said.  "While the results for the fourth
quarter are clearly disappointing, the positive long-term
benefits of the merger and the growth potential of Alcatel-
Lucent remain as envisioned.  Since we began operating as a
combined company on Dec. 1, 2006, we have made progress against
our integration plans, and we expect to increasingly recognize
the benefits of our integration over the course of the year."

"Our newly combined company is focused on supporting the overall
transformation occurring in our industry. This includes the
transformation of networks to all-IP, video and multimedia
content to enhance communication services, broadband mobility as
well as high value services," Ms. Russo added.

                          2007 Outlook

The results for the fourth quarter were impacted by a
combination of short-term uncertainty for the customers and the
company's people, as well as challenging market conditions,
particularly in North America.

"While we believe these factors will be mitigated, we expect
they will continue to have a more limited effect on our business
in the early months of the year, leading to some revenue decline
in the first quarter 2007."  Ms. Russo said.

"We are confident that we can resume revenue growth as the year
progresses.  Looking forward to the full year 2007, we expect
revenues to increase on a percentage basis at least at the
carrier market growth rate of mid single digits."

                 Greater Restructuring Potential

Goldman Sachs, meanwhile, said Alcatel's steeper job cuts shows
that the communication solutions provider has greater
restructuring potential than some investors believe, the Wall
Street Journal reports.  Goldman Sachs told clients that
increased confidence in the speed and timing of recovery in CDMA
is "the key factor" that will drive additional growth for
Alcatel-Lucent, WSJ adds.

"We feel management has given some comfort that the issues faced
by Alcatel-Lucent are short-term rather than structural,"
Deutsche Bank told WSJ.

ALCATEL-LUCENT: Aims 12,500 Job Cuts Due to Q4 2006 Losses
----------------------------------------------------------
Alcatel-Lucent plans to decrease its work force by 12,500
employees, after the company disclosed losses for the fourth
quarter of 2006, the Wall Street Journal reports.

WSJ reveals that some 3,500 workers will be laid off on top of
the 9,000 originally announced by the company following the
Alcatel-Lucent merger.

The company posted EUR618 million in net loss on EUR4.42 billion
in net revenues for the fourth quarter 2006, compared with
EUR381 million in net profit on EUR5.25 billion in net revenues
for the same period in 2005.  The fourth quarter net loss is the
first for which the newly merged telecommunications-equipment
maker reported combined earnings, WSJ relates.

"As a result, we expect the impact on our global workforce will
be about 12,500 positions over three years," Patricia Russo,
Chief Executive of Alcatel-Lucent, said.  "These are difficult
but necessary decisions, and we will manage these reductions
with care. We are committed to serving our customers' needs,
with a competitive cost structure and effective operating model.
We will maintain the appropriate workforce level to do that."

Ms. Russo said the company is leveraging the integration of
Alcatel S.A. and Lucent Technologies to create a more
competitive enterprise over the long term and enhance its
operating model to enable greater efficiencies in operations.

The chief executive said the company aims to optimize its supply
chain and services, eliminate of duplicate resources, and
rationalize its product.  Ms. Russo said the company could save
as much as EUR1.7 billion in pre-tax cost within three years,
with at least EUR600 million for 2007.

ALSTOM SA: Gets EUR270 Million Order From French Railway Company
----------------------------------------------------------------
French Railway Company SNCF has placed an order with Alstom for
the supply of 51 new double-deck Coradia Duplex distributed-
power regional trains, consisting of 39 triple-car trainsets and
12 four-car trainsets, making a total of 165 coaches.

Under an industrial work-share agreement with Alstom, Bombardier
will participate in the manufacture of 63 of the cars.  The
order forms part of the multi-year investment program launched
in September 2000 and financed by French regions, to renew the
TER (Regional Express Trains) fleet.

The 51 trainsets will be shared between the regions of Nord Pas-
de-Calais, Rhone-Alpes, Provence-Cote d'Azur, and Picardy.  The
Alstom sites of Valenciennes, Tarbes, Villeurbanne, Le Creusot,
and Ornans in France, and also the Charleroi site in Belgium,
will take part in fulfilling the contract.

In terms of freight, private operator Veolia Cargo exercised an
option to acquire 10 Prima electric locomotives, with associated
maintenance for a period of 8 years.

These options, which form part of the contract signed on Oct. 3,
2005, bring to 17 the number of locomotives acquired by Veolia
Cargo.  In January 2007, Veolia Cargo received 4 locomotives.

Three others are currently in production and will be delivered
between now and July 2007.  The 10 new locomotives will be
delivered between February and October 2008.

The new locomotives will be able to operate throughout France
and Germany, thanks to their tri-current power supply system.
Links between the two countries have been operated using similar
trains since the autumn of 2006.

They will be constructed on the Belfort site, which will
assemble equipment supplied by the sites of Omans, Tarbes,
Villeurbanne, and Le Creusot in France, and the site at
Charleroi in Belgium.

ALSTOM SA: Targets France & Italy for New Locomotive Contracts
--------------------------------------------------------------
Alstom SA launched a new breed of locomotives and is looking
towards Italy and France for contracts, hoping to earn billions
of euros by 2008, John Jannarone writes for the Wall Street
Journal.

"The Italian tender should come out this year and the French
tender should come out next year," said Philippe Mellier, Alstom
Transport's president.

The company is looking at potential orders of more than EUR1
billion from Italy, with even higher prospects from France.  The
first train will be released at the end of 2007, WSJ relates.

"My guess is that the contract for Italy will be for 40 or 50
train sets," Mr. Mellier said.  He added that France could buy
more than 100 locomotives to expand and revamp its old fleet,
the report says.

Alstom's Train a Grande Vitesse, with the help of a new
technology called automotrice a grand vitesse, will try to break
a rail-speed record of 550 kilometers an hour, WSJ states.

Meanwhile, Alstom landed a EUR1.2 billion contract with China in
October to supply 500 freight locomotives.  China is setting up
a high-speed link between Beijing and Shanghai, which it plans
to finish by 2010, WSJ relates.

According to the report, orders at the transport division
plummeted 30% in the third quarter ended December 2006, compared
with the same period in 2005, after falling 18% in the first
half of Fiscal-Year 2006.

Some contracts were not booked in the third quarter, including
the deal with China, WSJ reports.

"It's usually pretty long between contract award and putting it
in force, but it's going to come and we're expecting a good year
overall," Mr. Mellier said, neglecting to name a specific
target.

BENQ CORP: Euro 2008 Sponsorship Irks German Workers Union
----------------------------------------------------------
BenQ Corp., the Taiwan-based parent of bankrupt BenQ Mobile GmbH
& Co. OHG, reveals an official sponsorship to the UEFA Euro 2008
in Austria and Switzerland triggering protests from German
politicians and trade union officials.

The announcement came following BenQ Mobile's closure of its
Kamp-Lintfort factory in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and
thousands of job cuts in the country.

"These plans are tasteless, arrogant and a slap in the face for
all those who lost their job," IG Metall union spokesman
Georgios Arwanitidis told Berliner Zeitung.

Deutsche Welle says some 2,000 people have been laid-off from
BenQ Mobile since Jan. 31 after the company filed for insolvency
on Sept. 29, 2006.

However, K.Y. Lee, chairman of BenQ Corp., said "the sponsorship
supports BenQ's commitment to Europe and ongoing efforts to make
BenQ a household name in the region."

"The UEFA European Football Championship is one of the most
prestigious and recognizable sporting brands in the world.  It
has a heritage and legacy with football fans of all ages for the
quality of the football and the enjoyment the tournament brings
to fans around the world.  This reflects BenQ's mission to
enhance customer enjoyment through quality consumer-oriented
solutions designed especially for the networked digital
lifestyle," Mr. Lee said.

According to Deutsche Welle, the latest deal reportedly cost at
least EUR15 million, with some speculating between EUR30 million
and EUR40 million.

"If BenQ wants to make an image campaign, it can start here in
Kamt-Lintfort by spending the same sum they are giving UEFA on
the creation of new jobs," IG Metall official Ulrich Marschner
from the former BenQ Mobile plant in western German Kamp-
Lintfort told the Neue Rhein/Neue Ruhr Zeitung.

                           About BenQ

Headquartered in Taiwan, Republic of China, BenQ Corp.,
Inc. -- http://www.benq.com/-- is principally engaged in
manufacturing, developing and selling of computer peripherals
and telecommunication products.  It is also a major provider of
3G handset, 3G handset, Camera phones, and other products.

BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co., the company's wholly owned subsidiary,
operates from Munich, Germany.  BenQ Mobile filed for insolvency
in Germany on Sept. 29, after BenQ Corp.'s board decided to
discontinue capital injection into the mobile unit in order to
stem unsustainable losses.  The collapse follows a year after
Siemens sold the company to Taiwanese technology group BenQ.
BenQ Mobile has lost market share against giant competitors.

A Munich Court opened insolvency proceedings against BenQ Mobile
GmbH & Co OHG on Jan. 1 after Martin Prager, the company's
insolvency administrator, failed to meet the deadline in finding
a buyer for the company on Dec. 31, 2006.

                        *     *     *

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific reported on
Dec. 5, 2006, that Taiwan Ratings Corp., assigned its long-term
twBB+ and short-term twB corporate credit ratings to BenQ Corp.
The outlook on the long-term rating is negative.  At the same
time, Taiwan Ratings assigned its twBB+ issue rating to BenQ's
existing NT$7.05 billion unsecured corporate bonds due in 2008,
2009, and 2010.

The ratings reflect BenQ's:

   * continuing operating losses from its handset operations;

   * high leverage; and

   * the competitive nature and low profitability of the LCD
     monitor industry.

BUCKEYE TECHNOLOGIES: Earns US$3.8 Mln in Quarter Ended Dec. 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
Buckeye Technologies Inc. reported net earnings of US$3.8
million on net sales of US$184.7 million for the second quarter
ended Dec. 31, 2006, compared with net earnings of US$1.9
million on net sales of US$188.3 million for the same period in
2005.  Net earnings in 2005 included US$700,000 after tax in
restructuring expenses associated with last year's closure of
the Glueckstadt, Germany cotton linter pulp plant.

Net sales for the first six months of fiscal year 2007 were
US$376.1 million, 6% higher than net sales of US$353.7 million
for the same period last year.

Buckeye Chairman John B. Crowe commented, "Demand for our
products is strong and we have implemented price increases in
January. Operational issues early in the October-December
quarter at our Florida wood specialty fibers facility limited
our sales.  With low inventories, our sales are closely matched
to production.  The Florida facility has returned to full
production rates.  Going forward our focus on operational
reliability will help maximize sales."

Mr. Crowe went on to say, "Continued strong cash flow generation
enabled us to reduce debt by US$13 million during the quarter
even with two large semi-annual bond interest payments, our
annual employee retirement plan contribution and our annual
Florida property tax payment."

TUI AG: Moody's Downgrades Ba3 Corporate Family Rating to B1
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the corporate family rating
of TUI Aktiengesellschaft to B1 from Ba3, the long-term senior
unsecured rating to B1 from Ba3 and the subordinated debt rating
to B3 from B2.

These downgrades follow Moody's assessment of the company's
strategic plan announced on Dec. 15, 2006, and conclude the
review for possible downgrade that was initiated on Aug. 11,
2006, and that was maintained following the downgrades announced
on Nov. 9, 2006.  The outlook on all ratings is now stable.

The downgrade of the corporate family rating primarily reflects
Moody's view that the expected medium-term improvements in the
company's credit metrics will not be sufficient to support a Ba3
rating given the company's strategy to pursue a growth strategy
in its two core businesses.

TUI's B1 corporate family rating factors in the company's
leading market position in European tourism.  The rating factors
in the division's highly seasonal nature, and low margin
characteristics, as it accounted for 70% of revenues, but only
contributed circa 45% to the group's EBITA in 2005.  Finally,
Moody's notes that TUI's vertically integrated model faces
growing competition on the internet, which offers a flexible
platform to customers that prefer to book modular holidays
without needing to go through a traditional travel agency.

The corporate family rating additionally factors in the
diversification provided by Hapag-Lloyd, TUI's container
shipping arm, which is the fifth-largest container shipping
company globally as a result of the CP Ships acquisition in
2005.  However, notwithstanding the anticipated synergies from
the merger with CP Ships, which integration is almost completed,
Moody's notes that the shipping division's margin was hit in
2006 by the integration costs of CP Ships and high bunker costs
and inland expenses combined with lower than initially expected
freight rates, leading to an expected reported loss for the full
year 2006.  Moody's additionally notes that capacity-demand
balance could be adversely impacted by an increase in the
overall number of new ships in the intermediate term.

More generally, the B1 rating factors in the impact of the
company's growth strategy in its two main businesses, as
unveiled in December 2006, with TUI adding more capacity in
hotels, aircraft and ships.  While over the past few years, the
disposal of non-core assets contributed to the company's ability
to repay debt and finance its capital expenditure program, the
disposal program has now been completed and going forward the
group will have to rely on its internally generated cash flow to
finance this growth, while at the same time continuing the debt
reduction program announced on Dec. 15, 2006.  In this respect,
Moody's notes that, notwithstanding the announced sale of the
Montreal terminal, part of TUI's EUR1 billion asset sale program
unveiled in December 2006 consists of sale and lease-back
transactions, which will reduce asset coverage and be broadly
neutral in terms of credit metrics.

The stable rating outlook is based on Moody's anticipation that
TUI's credit metrics will improve to position the credit more
comfortably in line with the B1 rating category on a sustainable
basis, with retained cash flow to net debt above 10% and debt to
EBITDA below 6x by FY2008.  The stable outlook also factors in a
satisfactory liquidity situation, partly driven by the access to
a syndicated facility, which contains covenants.  Moody's
expects the leeway to remain sufficient over the short term.

The rating agency notes that TUI has increasingly centralized
debt at the TUI AG level over the recent past, hence reducing
the amount of priority indebtedness within the group below 20%.
Moody's also believes that the planned merger by the end of the
current fiscal year of TUI AG and TUI Deutschland GmbH, an
operating company based in Germany should to a certain extent
further reduce structural subordination.  Moreover, when Moody's
applies its European Loss Given Default methodology after
March 19 it is anticipated that the current notching of the
relative debt instruments within the TUI capital structure will
remain unchanged.

The most recent rating action on TUI took place on Nov. 9, 2006,
when Moody's downgraded the company's corporate family and
senior unsecured ratings to Ba3 from Ba2 and the subordinated
debt rating to B2 from B1.

TUI Aktiengesellschaft is Europe's largest integrated tourism
group and a leading provider of container shipping services,
with sales of EUR18.2 billion in 2005.

PARMALAT SPA: Sells Parma AC to Tommaso Ghirardi for EUR30 Mln
--------------------------------------------------------------
Parmalat S.p.A. has sold soccer club Parma AC to a consortium
led by Tommaso Ghirardi for EUR30 million, Reuters says.

In a TCR-Europe report on Jan. 10, Parmalat called for non-
binding offers indicating how much capital potential buyers are
willing to inject to "reinforce the team's financial structure
and guarantee its competitiveness."  Parmalat set an initial
price of EUR4 million.

The Italian Ministry for Economic Development has approved the
sale, which transfers the club's ownership from Parmalat to the
consortium of Mr. Ghirardi, Angelo Meneghini and Banca Monte di
Parma.  Parma AC has been in temporary administration since
Parmalat's multi-billion euro collapse in December 2003.

"We believe in the sport and we believe we can operate well,"
Mr. Ghirardi told the Associated Press.  "We're not just passing
by.  We want to give a lot to Parma and Italian soccer."

Two-time UEFA Cup champion Parma AC is currently third from
bottom in the Serie A division with 15 points.  The team is
trying to avoid relegation by not landing at the bottom three.

KAZKOMMERTSBANK: Dual Bond Issue Sets New Borrowing Standards
-------------------------------------------------------------
JSC Kazkommertsbank's recent Dual Tranche Bond Issue on
Feb. 2 set new records for Kazakh debt issues in terms of the
length of the borrowing periods.

The response to the new issues demonstrates the strength of
confidence and the depth of interest in the Kazakh market among
international investors.

Kazkommertsbank's EUR750 million 10-year benchmark deal with a
coupon of 6.875% was priced at 99.227%, representing the longest
tenor ever achieved in Euro by a Kazakh borrower.  Book-building
of this issue commenced on Jan. 31 and the demand for the deal
resulted in a three billion order book with more than 240
accounts participating.

Good distribution was achieved by investor type with solid
participation of asset managers via this Euro benchmark deal for
Kazkommertsbank.  Importantly Kazkommertsbank expanded and
enhanced its Euro investor base via this 10-year benchmark as it
had full supervision over allocations on the order book in
collaboration with syndicates of Joint Lead Managers.

The Euro issue was distributed 37% to funds, 30% to banks, 14%
to hedge funds and 11% to insurance companies.  Geographically
the Euro issue was distributed 45% to the U.K., 13% to the US,
1% to Asia and 31% to other Western European countries.

Kazkommertsbank's debut GBP350 million five-year deal with a
coupon of 7.625% was priced at 99.962%, representing both the
biggest size and longest tenor ever achieved in Sterling by a
Kazakh borrower.  Bookbuilding of this issue commenced on Feb. 1
and the overwhelming demand for the deal resulted in a sizeable
GBP850 million order book with 91 accounts participating.

In order to accommodate tremendous investor interest from
traditional Sterling investors, KKB extended the U.K. portion of
the roadshow to two days in London and one day in Edinburgh.
Overall, the KKB Sterling bond drew over 80% of new investors to
the KKB name, and thus represented valuable investor
diversification at virtually no additional cost to KKB's
traditional funding base.

The GBP issue was distributed 68% to funds, 11% to banks, 7% to
hedge funds and 9% to insurance companies.  The geographical
distribution was 88% to the U.K. and 6% to the US.

Issues were assigned credit ratings BB+ by international rating
agencies Standard & Poor's and Fitch.

Established in 1990, Kazkommertsbank is one of the leading banks
in Kazakhstan.  As at June 30, 2006, it was the market leader as
measured by total assets and loans and third largest in terms of
deposits.  The Bank has a network of 22 full-service branches
and 68 outlets in Kazakhstan.  In addition, the Bank has a well-
developed alternative channel distribution network including
Internet banking, 454 ATMs, over 3,200 point-of-sale terminals
and a call center.

With a gross corporate loan portfolio of KZT837.3 billion and
deposits of KZT204.97 billion as of June 30, 2006,
Kazkommertsbank is the largest corporate lender in Kazakhstan.
In addition, the Bank also has a strong retail business and
believes that it is the leading bank in Kazakhstan servicing
high net-worth individuals.  As at June 30, 2006, the Bank had
approximately 253,000 retail customers, a gross retail loan
portfolio of KZT129.14 billion and retail deposits of
KZT128.87 billion.

Bank engages in treasury operations, investment banking,
brokerage services and asset management and is a major
participant in the securities markets and the foreign currency
markets in Kazakhstan.  Through its international subsidiaries,

FUNDSERVICEBANK: Moody's Assigns E+ Financial Strength Rating
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned these global scale ratings
with stable outlook to the Russian institution Fundservicebank:

   -- B2 long-term and Not-Prime short-term foreign and local
      currency deposit ratings; and

   -- E+ financial strength rating.

At the same time, Moody's Interfax Rating Agency has assigned a
Baa1.ru long-term national scale credit rating to the bank.
Moscow-based Moody's Interfax is majority-owned by Moody's, a
leading global rating agency.

According to Moody's and Moody's Interfax, the B2/NP/E+ global
scale ratings reflect global default and loss expectation, while
the Baa1.ru national scale rating reflects the standing of the
bank's credit quality relative to its domestic peers.

FSB's ratings are underpinned by the bank's entrenched and so
far largely unthreatened niche franchise in its core market of
the Russian space and aviation industries, which allows for
continuous high-margin operations in this lucrative sector with
high entry barriers.  Being one of the very few privately-held
Russian banks that were allowed to, and are able to, operate in
those state-controlled and heavily state-regulated markets, FSB
has developed distinctive expertise and built up valuable client
relationships which support its corporate franchise.

The ratings also reflect FSB's experienced customer-oriented
management, which has adopted a diligent approach to IT systems
and information security.  The rating agency notes that FSB's
selective business diversification outside its core customer
franchise, which is currently underway, could make the bank's
earnings profile less susceptible to potential swings in the
financial condition of just one economic sector.

However, the ratings assigned to FSB are constrained by its poor
capitalization, potential vulnerability to political risks and
corporate governance issues. Growing competition from state-
owned Russian banks, such as VTB and Sberbank, might also
represent a threat over the medium term as those banks have
greater resources to satisfy the financial needs of FSB's large
corporate clients.  Finally, according to Moody's, FSB's high
level of single-party and industry concentrations on both sides
of the balance sheet does not appear commensurate with an FSR
above the E+ level.

The B2/NP deposit ratings assigned to FSB do not impute any
external support.  Although liquidity support from the bank's
key corporate clients is not unlikely, their ability and
willingness to provide financial means for a potential re-
capitalization of the bank in the event of need cannot be
assured.  In Moody's view the ability of the bank's beneficial
owner to provide capital support for the bank is very limited.

FSB is headquartered in Moscow, Russian Federation.  As at year-
end 2005, the bank reported audited total assets of US$356
million under IFRS.  FSB ranked 109th by assets and 151st by
regulatory capital among Russian banks as of Oct. 1, 2006,
according to Interfax.

NOVOLIPETSK STEEL: Upgrades Coke-Chemical Production Facility
-------------------------------------------------------------
Novolipetsk Steel OJSC re-commissioned a 460,000-tons-per-year
coke battery 2 after major renovation.

The upgrade of the coke production facilities will result in
improved reliability, decreased environmental impact and
improvement in the quality of products.

Coke battery 2 is the fourth coke production unit at the Lipetsk
site with emissions trapping technologies -- dust-free coking
chamber charging and discharging.  The implementation of high
technology control systems will provide efficient coke gas
combustion and prevent its emission into atmosphere. The
operation of a modern coke line will significantly improve the
personnel working conditions.

Revamping coke battery 2 took 24 months. Total investment into
the project was around US$50.5 million.

Since the Technical Upgrading Program started in 2000, NLMK has
reconstructed coke batteries 1, 5, and 6, which are now
considered to be among the most efficient and environmentally
safe in Russia.  Equipment was upgraded and progressive coke gas
cooling technology was implemented in coke batteries 1-4.  To
provide high quality of produced coke, the storage space for
coal concentrate was redesigned and input coal blending got new
equipment and technologies.

OAO TMK and SMS Group have signed an agreement on strategic

The strategic partnership foresees coordination of long-term

seamless steel pipes at TMK's mills.

During the signing meeting, Dmitriy Pumpyanskiy, Chairman of the

YUKOS OIL: U.S.-Based Chevron Eyes Bankrupt Assets
--------------------------------------------------
The battle to take over the assets of OAO Yukos Oil Co. is
underway as Chevron Corp. becomes the first U.S. firm to express
an interest in entering the bidding race for the bankrupt
Russian oil producer, according to published reports.

The U.S.-based company joins other global energy investors,
including a consortium comprised of Italy's Eni SpA and Enel
SpA, in the intense competition for Yukos' remaining assets,
Greg Walters of the Wall Street Journal relates.

The remaining assets of what was once Russia's largest oil
producer include refineries and two oil production units.  These
assets, which are due to be liquidated this year, are initially
valued at more than US$22 billion as of January 2007.

An unidentified source told Russian daily Vedomosti last month
that the company's final market value could be slightly over
US$20 billion, US$4 billion short of the total creditor claims
against Yukos.  The sale of Yukos's assets will begin following
the completion of the valuation process this month.

According to WSJ, most observers believe the Kremlin will
maintain tight, though informal, control over the auction
proceedings even amidst promises of an open and fair process
from the office of Yukos liquidator Eduard Rebgun.  The sale of
Yukos' assets will begin following the completion of the
valuation process.

Analysts believe Russian-based Rosneft Oil and Gazprom have the
most advantage in taking over choice assets through the
liquidation sale, WSJ adds.  They also do not discount the
possibility of other bidders, which include Surgutneftegas as a
potential bidder for Tomskneft.

Chevron spokeswoman Irina Rybalchenko declined to comment.

In a Troubled Company Reporter-Europe report on Oct. 26, 2006,
Yevgeny Neiman, general director of Roseco, one of the five
valuers in the consortium, said Yukos's assets may be sold at a
discount after appraisers complete the valuation of the
company's properties.

"The discount on the liquidation price will depend on which
asset we are valuing.  The discount could be 10 percent or it
could be 90 percent," he said.

                        About Yukos Oil

Headquartered in Moscow, Yukos Oil -- http://yukos.com/-- is
an open joint stock company existing under the laws of the
Russian Federation.  Yukos is involved in energy industry
substantially through its ownership of its various subsidiaries,
which own or are otherwise entitled to enjoy certain rights to
oil and gas production, refining and marketing assets.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 protection on Dec. 14, 2004
(Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case No. 04-47742), but the case was
dismissed on Feb. 24, 2005, by the Hon. Letitia Z. Clark.

On March 10, 2006, a 14-bank consortium led by Societe Generale
filed a bankruptcy suit in the Moscow Arbitration Court in an
attempt to recover the remainder of a US$1 billion debt under
outstanding loan agreements.  The banks, however, sold the claim
to Rosneft, prompting the Court to replace them with the state-
owned oil company as plaintiff.

On April 13, 2006, court-appointed external manager Eduard
Rebgun filed a chapter 15 petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of New York (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No.
06-0775), in an attempt to halt the sale of Yukos' 53.7%
ownership interest in Lithuanian AB Mazeikiu Nafta.

On May 26, 2006, Yukos signed a US$1.49 billion Share Sale and
Purchase Agreement with PKN Orlen S.A., Poland's largest oil
refiner, for its Mazeikiu ownership stake.  The move was made a
day after the Manhattan Court lifted an order barring Yukos from
selling its controlling stake in the Lithuanian oil refinery.

On Aug. 1, 2006, the Hon. Pavel Markov of the Moscow Arbitration
Court upheld creditors' vote to liquidate OAO Yukos Oil Co. and
declared what was once Russia's biggest oil firm bankrupt.

for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 ended Dec. 31, 2006,

period ended Dec. 31, 2005.

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was

benefit.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased US$25.8 million
year over year and represented 28.6% of revenue in the first

estate and other corporate expenses.

Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was
US$49 million, compared to US$53.3 million in the same period of
fiscal 2006.

"While we met our EPS guidance for the quarter, we are focused
on our top line performance and are taking actions to address
revenue growth," said Matthew J. Espe, IKON's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer.  "We also remain focused on spending
reductions and on the roll out of One Platform, our initiative
to migrate to a single IT platform in the U.S.  We continue to
expect that our U.S. migration to One Platform will be two-
thirds complete by the end of fiscal 2007."

statements for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2006, are available

GENERAL NUTRITION: S&P Keeps B Credit Rating on Watch Negative
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said its ratings on General
Nutrition Centers Inc., including the 'B' corporate credit
rating, remain on CreditWatch with negative implications, where
they were placed on Dec. 22, 2006, following the company's
announcement that it was no longer contemplating a public
offering, but that it would continue to evaluate strategic
alternatives, including a possible sale of the company that
would be financed with a substantial amount of additional debt.

"On Feb. 9, Ares Management LLC and the Ontario Teachers'
Pension Plan announced that they had signed a definitive
agreement to acquire GNC Parent Corp., the parent company of
GNC, from Apollo Management L.P.," explained Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Jackie Oberoi.  "GNC's enterprise value is
estimated at US$1.65 billion for this transaction."

The ratings on Pittsburgh, Penn.-based GNC reflect a highly
leveraged capital structure, with total lease-adjusted debt pro
forma for the company's recent pay-in-kind note issuance of
about 6.8x.

                           About EMI

Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, EMI Group PLC --
http://www.emigroup.com/-- is the world's largest independent
music company, operating directly in 50 countries and with
licensees in a further 20.  The group has operations in Brazil,
China, and Hungary.  The group employs over 6,600 people.
Revenues in 2005 were near EUR2 billion and operating profit
generated was over EUR225 million.

At March 31, 2006, EMI Group's consolidated balance sheet
revealed GBP1.817 billion in total assets, GBP2.544 billion in
total liabilities and GBP726.6 million in shareholders' deficit.

                        *     *     *

According to a TCR-Europe report on Jan. 17, Moody's Investors
Service downgraded EMI Group Plc's Corporate Family and senior
debt ratings to Ba3 from Ba2.  All ratings remain under review
for possible further downgrade.

As reported in the TCR-Europe on Feb. 7, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services lowered its long-term corporate credit and
senior unsecured debt ratings on U.K.-based music group EMI
Group PLC to 'BB-' from 'BB'.  The 'B' short-term rating was
affirmed.

At the same time, the long-term corporate credit rating and debt
ratings were put on CreditWatch with negative implications.


ESTERLINE TECHNOLOGIES: S&P Affirms BB Rating on Market Exposure
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its ratings,
including the 'BB' long-term corporate credit rating, on
Esterline Technologies Corp.  The outlook is stable.

"Although the pending debt-financed acquisition of CMC
Electronics Inc. will result in a material deterioration in
Esterline's currently strong for the rating financial measures,
expected debt reduction should restore appropriate ratios in the
next 12 months," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Christopher DeNicolo.

However, the US$335 million acquisition limits the company's
flexibility for further acquisitions until leverage is reduced.
The increased debt would result in Esterline's pro forma debt to
EBITDA rising to approximately 4.5x from 2.6x in fiscal 2006,
with a similar deterioration in other credit protection
measures.  CMC designs and manufactures a range of electronics
for aviation applications including GPS, heads-up displays,
enhanced vision systems, electronic flight bags, and flight
management systems.  The acquisition will improve Esterline's
system integration capabilities.

The ratings on Esterline reflect the company's exposure to the
competitive and cyclical commercial aerospace market, an active
acquisition program, and modest size compared with some
competitors, offset somewhat by a diversified revenue base and
acceptable profitability.

Bellevue, Wash.-based Esterline designs and manufacturers highly
engineered products and systems for defense and aerospace
customers, as well as for general industrial applications.
Products include lighted switches and displays for commercial
and military aircraft, temperature and pressure sensors for
engines, and electronic countermeasures.  Revenues in recent
years have benefited from acquisitions, military sales, and the
recovery in the commercial aftermarket.

The Advanced Materials unit produces high-performance silicone
elastomer products, electronic warfare countermeasure products,
and combustible ordnance.  The company's Sensors & Systems unit
provides temperature and pressure sensors for aircraft turbine
engines, fluid regulation systems, and motion control
components.  Avionics & Controls produces technology interface
systems, lighted switches, displays and control products for
commercial and military aircraft.  Esterline's revenue base is
fairly balanced between military, commercial aerospace, and
industrial markets.  The firm's products are used on wide range
of commercial and military airplanes, with no one aircraft type
accounting for more than 5% of revenues.  Firm backlog was
US$654 million as of Oct. 27, 2006.

A diversified revenue base and good growth in key markets should
enable Esterline to reduce debt with free cash flow and restore
leverage and other credit protection measures to more
appropriate levels.  The outlook could be revised to negative if
leverage does not decline as expected or there are further debt-
financed acquisitions.  It is unlikely the outlook will be
revised to positive in the intermediate term.


EUROSAIL-UK: Moody's Rates Class E1c Mortgage Notes at (P)Ba1
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned provisional long-term credit
ratings to the Notes to be issued by Eurosail-UK 2007-1NC plc:

   -- Class A1 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2026:
      (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A2 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2045:
      (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A3 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2045;
      (P)Aaa;

   -- Class A3c Detachable Coupons due 2010; (P)Aaa;

   -- Class B Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2045;
      (P)Aaa;

   -- Class C Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2045;
      (P)A2;

   -- Class D1 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2045;
      (P)Baa2; and

   -- Class E1c Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2045;
      (P)Ba1.

Moody's has not assigned ratings to the Class DTc, ETc or FTc
Notes.

It is anticipated that the Class A1, Class A2, Class A3, Class
B, Class C and Class D1 Notes will be issued in U.S. Dollars,
Sterling and/or Euros, subject to market demand.  The final
currency denominations within each separate class of note will
rank pari passu with each other in all respects.  The currency
risk will be covered via various currency swaps with one or more
swap counter parties.  The provisional ratings are based, inter
alia, on the sterling equivalent split of the Notes being as
follows (in percentage of the total Notes issuance excluding the
Class DTc, Class ETc and Class FTc Notes):

   -- Class A1 [31.00]%
   -- Class A2 [21.80]%
   -- Class A3 [33]%
   -- Class B [6.40]%
   -- Class C [4.05]%
   -- Class D1 [2.95]%
   -- Class E1c [0.80]%

This is the fifth securitization under the Eurosail name.  The
collateral includes loans from Southern Pacific Mortgage Ltd.,
Southern Pacific Personal Loans Ltd, Preferred Mortgages Ltd.,
and London Mortgage Co. and London Personal Loans Ltd. branded
loans.  Capstone Mortgage Services Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Lehman Brothers, is the primary mortgage servicer
and cash/bond administrator to the transaction.  Homeloan
Management Ltd (SQ2), a wholly owned subsidiary of Skipton
Building Society (A3, Prime-1), is the standby mortgage servicer
and standby cash/bond administrator.

Investors in the Class A3c Detachable Coupons do not receive any
payments of principal, and will be paid interest at a rate of
[1.0]% for quarters 1 to 4, increasing to [1.35]% in quarter 5,
[1.48]% in quarter 6, [2.00]% in quarter 7, [2.43]% in quarters
8 and 9, [2.56]% in quarter10, [2.90]% in quarter 11 and [3.24]%
in quarter 12, calculated on the sterling equivalent of the
outstanding balance of the Class A1, A2 and A3 Notes.

The structure of this transaction is similar to that of Eurosail
2006-3NC.  The Issuer has entered into a fixed/floating rate
swap agreement to mitigate the potential variations between
mortgage loan LIBOR and the loans in the pool that carry fixed
interest rates.  In Eurosail-UK 2007-1NC, however, there are two
such swaps, one for the short-term LIBOR and BBR fixed rate
loans [63.3%] and one for the fixed rate loans that are fixed
for life [6.6%].  Under these swap agreements, the Issuer will
pay the interest received from the fixed rate loans and will
receive from the swap counter party LIBOR plus a margin
determined at closing over the average of the aggregate of the
principal balances of the fixed rate loans in the mortgage pool
as of the second business day of each of the calendar months
falling during the interest period.

This transaction also incorporates a BBR-LIBOR swap to hedge the
basis risk resulting from the BBR loans included in the pool
(there were no such loans in Eurosail 2006-3) that are linked to
the BBR rate while the Notes pay LIBOR.  Under this swap, the
Issuer pays the weighted average BBR rate plus 18.5bp s.p.a. and
receives LIBOR on the BBR notional amount.

Like Eurosail 2006-3NC, this transaction has turbo notes
(Classes DTc, ETc and FTc) that are not backed by mortgage
collateral but will be paid back instead by available excess
spread.  Moody's is not rating these Notes.

At the closing date, the transaction will incorporate a cash
reserve to mitigate the reduced interest rate on discounted
loans during the first year.  A fixed cash amount will be
withdrawn from the Discount Margin Reserve Ledger on each of the
first four Interest Payment Dates (1st IPD GBP[4,300,750], 2nd
IPD GBP[3,679,672], 3rd IPD GBP[3,488,298] and 4th IPD
GBP[3,348,435]) and will flow through the revenue waterfall as
available revenue.

The provisional ratings of the A Notes, the B Notes, the C
Notes, the D1 Notes and the E1c Notes are based upon an analysis
of the characteristics of the mortgage pool backing the Notes,
the protection the Notes receive from credit enhancement against
defaults and arrears in the mortgage pool, and the legal and
structural integrity of the issue.  A level of protection to
investors in the Notes will be the Reserve Fund, which on
closing will equal GBP[4,550,000] or [0.65]% of the initial pool
balance.

The provisional ratings address the expected loss posed to
investors by the legal final maturity.  In Moody's opinion, the
structure allows for the timely payment of interest and ultimate
payment of principal by the legal final maturity.  Moody's
issues provisional ratings in advance of the final sale of
securities, and these ratings only represent Moody's preliminary
opinion.  Upon a conclusive review of the transaction and
associated documentation, Moody's will endeavor to assign
definitive ratings to the Notes.  A final rating may differ from
a prospective rating.

HOTELOC PLC: S&P Lowered Class E Note Ratings to CC
---------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its ratings on the
class E notes issued by HOTELoC PLC.  The ratings on all other
classes of notes are unaffected.

The notes are backed by a single loan, which is secured on a
portfolio of 28 hotels in the U.K. operated by Thistle Hotels
Ltd. Standard & Poor's has been notified by the special
servicer, Capmark Services U.K. Ltd., that contracts were
exchanged on Feb. 5, 2007, for the sale of the hotels.

Capmark expects sale completion, which is subject to various
conditions, to take place within 21 to 60 days, or no later than
April 26, 2007, and in advance of the legal final maturity date
of May 10, 2007.

Following the receipt of the interim investor report, in which
details of the sales proceeds were provided, Standard & Poor's
now expects a principal loss of approximately 1.0% of the Day 1
outstanding transaction principal balance on the class E notes.
As a consequence, the ratings on the class E notes have been
lowered to 'CC'.  These notes were originally rated 'BB' and the
rating has been progressively lowered, most recently in January
2007 to 'CCC'.

As with any exchange of real estate contracts, there is a period
of uncertainty between exchange and completion.  If the exchange
of contracts is not completed and funds are not made available
for the repayment of the rated debt as anticipated, further
negative rating actions will occur on all classes of notes, with
the ratings on the class A, B, C, and D notes continuing on the
downward trend towards a 'D' rating.

"Assuming the sale proceeds are received before the legal final
maturity, it is expected that the class A, B, C, and D notes
will be repaid in full," said credit analyst Esther Robinson
Wild.  "This will prompt us to revisit the ratings on these
notes."

As a result of this uncertainty, Standard & Poor's will not be
resolving the CreditWatch placement on all of the notes at this
time.

PREMIER FOODS: Disposing Erin Brand to Address Antitrust Issues
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Irish Competition Authority under section 21(2)(a) of the
Competition Act 2002 has determined that that the acquisition by
Premier Foods plc of RHM plc may be put into effect given
measures agreed between Premier and the ICA under section 20(3)
of the Act.

As a result, Premier will dispose of the Erin brand to address
the ICA's concerns that the Acquisition may lead to a
substantial lessening of competition in relation to gravy makers
in the Irish market.

Premier acquired the Erin brand in August 2006 as part of the
acquisition of Campbell's U.K. and Ireland business.  For the
year ended July 31, 2005, sales of the Erin brand were GBP9
million.

The Acquisition has already received unconditional clearance by
the Office of Fair Trading in the United Kingdom.  No other
regulatory reviews are pending.

                           Timetable

The measures agreed with the ICA are not expected to have any
effect upon the timetable for the Acquisition.

An extraordinary general meeting of Premier shareholders to
approve, among other things, the Acquisition is due to take
place at 10:00 a.m. on Feb. 15, the Court meeting of RHM
shareholders in respect of the Scheme is due to take place at
noon on Feb. 15, and an extraordinary general meeting of RHM
Shareholders to approve, among other things, the Scheme is due
to take place at 12:15 p.m. on Feb. 15.  The Scheme is expected
to become effective on March 16.

As previously reported in the TCR-Europe on Dec. 5, 2006, the
boards of Premier Foods and RHM have reached agreement on the
terms of a recommended offer to be made by Premier to acquire
the entire issued and to be issued share capital of RHM.

                       Terms of the Offer

Under the terms of the Offer, RHM Shareholders will receive:
For each RHM Share: one New Premier Share, and GBP83.2 pence in
cash,

    * valuing each RHM Share at GBP352.45 pence, representing
      a premium of 29.7% to the Closing Price per RHM Share
      on  Dec. 1, 2006, of 271.75 pence, based on the
      Closing Price per Premier Share of 269.25 pence on
      Dec. 1, 2006,

    * valuing the entire issued and to be issued ordinary
      share capital of RHM at approximately GBP1.23 billion
      which represents an enterprise value for RHM of
      approximately GBP2 billion.

Existing RHM Shareholders will hold approximately 41% of the
issued share capital of the enlarged Premier and existing
Premier Shareholders approximately 59% of the enlarged Premier.

The share element of the consideration will allow RHM
Shareholders to benefit substantially from the synergies
expected to arise, as well as from the longer term strategic
benefits expected from the combination.

RHM will pay an interim dividend of 5.5 pence per RHM Share in
respect of the period ended Oct. 28, 2006.  RHM Shareholders on
the register at Dec. 22, 2006, will be entitled to the RHM
interim dividend, whether or not the Offer is completed, which
will be paid on Feb. 23.

In order to align dividend payments to Premier Shareholders and
RHM Shareholders for the year, the Board of Premier has declared
a second interim dividend of 5.5 pence per Premier Share.
Premier Shareholders on the register at Dec. 22, 2006, will be
entitled to receive this dividend, whether or not the Offer is
completed, to be paid on Feb. 23.

The 2006 final dividend of Premier, to which holders of New
Premier Shares will be entitled (assuming the acquisition
completes), will be set by the directors of Premier in
accordance with its current dividend policy, save that it will
take account of this second interim dividend of 5.5 pence which
will be paid to Premier Shareholders on Feb. 23.  The
2006 final dividend and any 2007 interim dividend of Premier
will be paid in the calendar year 2007.

Headquartered in Birmingham, England, Premier Foods --
http://www.premierfoods.co.uk/-- manufactures Ambrosia custard
and rice pudding, Branston pickle, Hartley's jams and marmalade

                           *********

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than
US$3 per share in public markets.  At first glance, this list
may look like the definitive compilation of stocks that are
ideal to sell short.  Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example,
reported at historical cost net of depreciation may understate
the true value of a firm's assets.  A company may establish
reserves on its balance sheet for liabilities that may never
materialize.  The prices at which equity securities trade in
public market are determined by more than a balance sheet
solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com/

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book
of interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.
