BANK OF CYPRUS: Marfin Popular Proposes Strategic Cooperation
-------------------------------------------------------------
Shareholders of Marfin Popular Bank authorized its board on
April 17 to propose a strategic cooperation to Bank of Cyprus
that would fully integrate Marfin Popular's international
operations with those of Bank of Cyprus, AFX News reports citing
Thomson Financial News as its source.

According to the report, Marfin shareholders agreed that the
proposal would only be presented if the shareholders of Bank of
Cyprus also allow their board to engage on the negotiations.

Marfin added that the issue of Cyprus Bank's cooperation should
be put to another vote by shareholders of both banks, AFX
relates.

Marfin stated that the two bank's combined international
operations outside Cyprus would generate a EUR79.3 million
additional gains for the first year, EUR278 million for the
second year, and EUR361.2 million for the third year.

A full merger would generate an additional gain of EUR142.9
million for the first year, EUR278 million for the second year,
and EUR361.2 million for the third year, Thomson Finance
reports.

                        Proposal Rejected

On the same date, Eleftherios P. Ioannou, chairman of the board
of directors of the Bank of Cyprus Group rejected Marfin
Popular's proposal for a possible partnership with Bank of
Cyprus.

Mr. Ioannou reiterated the Bank of Cyprus Group decision that
any collaboration with Marfin Popular Bank is not in the
interests of its shareholders, customers and employees.

Consequently, the Bank of Cyprus Group does not intend to put at
risk its three-year business plan, which aims to ensure a major
increase in profits and which was received by the international
investment community and the Bank of Cyprus' shareholders.

According to BOC, Marfin Popular Bank's levels of profitability
and its constantly changing strategic direction differ from the
Bank of Cyprus Group's strategy and profit-generation profile.

The Bank of Cyprus Group also pointed out that it follows a
policy of not interfering with the corporate governance
procedures of its competitors.  This policy was applied in the
past in the cases of Laiki Bank and Hellenic Bank.

For this reason, it has not exercised the voting rights of its
subsidiaries' investment holdings at an Extraordinary General
Meeting of Marfin Popular Bank on April 17.

appointed Karel Kavalir bankruptcy administrator, The Financial

HYUNDAI MOTOR: Building New Automobile Plant in Nosovice
--------------------------------------------------------
Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Czech will hold the launch ceremony
for the construction of its automobile plant in Nosovice on
Wednesday, April 25, The Prague Daily Monitor reports.

According to the report, Hyundai Motor Co. Vice Chairman Kim
Dong-Jin visited the site earlier this month.

The Nosovice plant is expected to begin test production in the
second half of 2008 and mass production in the first quarter of
2009.

The production capacity of the plant, manufacturing two types of
Hyundai cars, will reach 200,000 units/year in 2009 and will be
increased by adding one more type to 300,000 units/year in 2011.

The company is already seeking subcontractors to supply parts
and materials, The Prague Daily Monitor relates.

On March 21, after more than a year and a half of negotiations
and preparatory works, construction of the transmission plant,
the first production unit, was started.

Building permits for the press shop and for the body shop that
have been issued already will come into force followed by
permits for remaining buildings.

                       About Hyundai Motor

Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, Hyundai Motor Company --
http://www.hyundai-motor.com/-- has been selling cars in the
United States since 1986, but it only started selling its heavy
trucks stateside in 1998.  Hyundai produces 14 models of cars
and minivans, as well as trucks, buses, and other commercial
vehicles.  The Company reestablished itself as Korea's leading
carmaker in 1998 by acquiring a 51% stake in Kia Motors -- since
reduced to about 45%.  The Company also manufactures machine
tools for factory automation and material- handling equipment.

The Troubled Company Reporter - Asia Pacific reported that the
Hyundai Automotive Group is facing its deepest crisis since
chairman Chung Mong-koo took over in 1999, with problems like
the falling United States dollar, high oil prices and union
demands aggravated by a sweeping criminal investigation
regarding the carmaker's alleged creation of slush funds that
were used by at least two lobbyists to bribe government
officials for business favors, including having KRW55 billion of
Hyundai's bad debts written off.

Chairman Chung has been indicted early in May 2006 for fraud
charges.

Some of the group's official business has been on hold since the
probe on the slush fund started and several top executives were
summoned for questioning.

REMY COINTREAU: Group Brand Sales Up by 11.5% in 2007
-----------------------------------------------------
In the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, Remy Cointreau
reported consolidated turnover of EUR785.4 million.  Organic
growth was 3.7%.

Sales of the Group's own brands increased by 6.9%.  This
performance, mainly due to cognac and champagne, reinforces the
relevance of Remy Cointreau's premium strategy.

In the fourth quarter of the 2006/07 financial year, all the
Group's brands achieved growth of 11.5%, particularly cognac,
which recorded its best increase in the year.  All geographic
areas showed growth, with accelerated sales in Asia, the US and
Europe.

                             Cognac

Remy Martin accelerated its growth in the fourth quarter (+30%)
with its premium cognacs demonstrating the strongest increases.
The most buoyant markets were China, the US and Russia.  Remy
Martin thus confirms its commercial dynamism in its strategic
markets.

                       Liqueurs & Spirits

The growth in divisional sales was nominally penalized by
reductions in transfer prices to Maxxium, although this does not
affect profitability.  These results should not mask the good
performance achieved by Cointreau, particularly in the US.
France and Benelux remained good markets for Passoa.  Metaxa, St
Remy and Mount Gay Rum continued to grow in their markets.

                           Champagne

Sales growth of Piper-Heidsieck and Charles Heidsieck, against a
background of sustained price increases and an improvement in
product mix and markets, compensated for the planned decline in
secondary brands.

                        Partner Brands

The cessation of various distribution contracts since the end of
last year - in the US (wines) and in Europe (duty-free in
Germany) - accounted for the overall decline in sales in this
division.  In the US, Scotch whiskies (The Famous Grouse and The
Macallan) and Californian wines continued to grow while the
initial success of Imperia vodka was encouraging.

These results reflect the relevance of the Group's strategy to
focus on the strength of its brands and their move up market.

EUROTUNNEL GROUP: Shuttle Arm Posts GBP75 Million Q1 Revenue
------------------------------------------------------------
Eurotunnel Group reports a 10% increase in revenue from its
shuttle services.  For the first quarter of 2007, shuttle
services posted GBP75.8 million in revenue compared with GBP68.8
million in revenue for the same period in 2006

Revenues from the railway companies, which no longer include the
guaranteed payments through the Minimum Usage Charge, were
GBP40.9 million.  These revenues, without the effect of the MUC,
have increased by 6% in the first quarter of 2007.

In the first quarter of 2006, the payments from the MUC were
GBP21 million and their loss brings an automatic drop of 31% in
revenues from the railway operators.

Non-transport revenues remain marginal at GBP1.8 million.

Total revenues for Eurotunnel during the first quarter increased
to GBP118.5 million.  Excluding the effect of the loss of the
MUC, revenues have increased by 9% compared with the GBP109.1
million revenues for the same period in 2006.

             Eurotunnel's Shuttle services traffic

The number of trucks transported on Eurotunnel Shuttles was
349,359, an increase of 11% compared to the 315,566 for first
quarter in 2006.

The number of cars transported has risen by the same proportion
to 409,612 from 370,437 cars in 2006.

                        Railways activity

A total of 1,792,649 people traveled on Eurostar* during the
first quarter of 2007, from 1,698,831 during the same period in
2006, representing an increase of six percent.

Freight trains belonging to the railway operators, which used
the Tunnel during the first quarter of 2007, carried 365,642
tons of goods, a decrease of 7% compared with the 392,699 tons,
in the first quarter in 2006.

"These are very good figures and are particularly encouraging
for the new Groupe Eurotunne.  They underline the unanimous
decision by the Board to formally recommend shareholders to
tender their shares to the Offer before the 15th May," Jacques
Gounon, Eurotunnel's Chairman and CEO disclosed.

                       About Eurotunnel

Headquartered in Folkestone, United Kingdom and Calais, France,
Eurotunnel Group -- http://www.eurotunnel.co.uk/-- operates a
fleet of 25 shuttle trains, which carry cars, coaches and
trucks.  It manages the infrastructure of the Channel Tunnel and
receives toll revenues from train operating companies whose
trains pass through the Tunnel.

The British and French governments have granted Eurotunnel a
concession to operate the Channel Tunnel until 2086.

Eurotunnel Group files reports in the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission under the names of Eurotunnel PLC (ETNUF.PK)
and Eurotunnel SA (ETTFF.PK).

At Dec. 31, 2006, Eurotunnel's balance sheet showed GBP5.25
billion in total assets, GBP6.56 billion in total liabilities
and GBP1.32 billion in shareholders' deficit.

                     Safeguard Protection

Eurotunnel obtained Aug. 2 an order placing the channel operator
under the protection of the Court pursuant to the new safeguard
legislation (Procedure de sauvegarde).  At the end of 2006, the
group's creditors and bondholders approved a plan to decrease
its GBP6.2 billion debt to GBP2.84 billion.

On Jan. 15, the Court approved Eurotunnel's safeguard plan,
backed by the court-appointed representatives to the company and
to the creditors.

DAIMLERCHRYSLER: 2nd-Round Bids Expected for Chrysler, WSJ Says
---------------------------------------------------------------
As moves for possible sale of DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler
Group get clearer, bidders interested in the automaker's U.S.
unit are expected to submit a second round of offers within the
next week or so, Gina Chon of The Wall Street Journal reports,
citing people familiar with the matter.

Afterwards, WSJ relates, DaimlerChrysler will likely narrow it
down to two bidders and then eventually choose one leading
candidate in early May.

Last week, WSJ said DaimlerChrysler executive Ruediger Grube, a
management-board member and head of strategy, was negotiating
with all Chrysler bidders, with the exception of billionaire
Kirk Kerkorian's Tracinda Corp.

According to that report, the company had scheduled meetings
with Cerberus Capital Management LP; joint bidders Blackstone
Group and Centerbridge Capital Partners LP; and the tandem of
Magna International Inc. and Onex Corp., but left Tracinda Corp.
in the lurch.

The TCR-Europe reported on April 11 that DaimlerChrysler had
received a new offer of up to US$4.5 billion in cash from
Tracinda Corp., an investment firm owned by billionaire Kirk
Kerkorian.

However, the automaker is skeptical about the competitiveness of
Tracinda's bid, considering that it entails substantial
conditions, as it entertains offers from three other groups, WSJ
observed.

Mr. Kerkorian's tender depends on whether Chrysler enters into a
"satisfactory" labor contract with the UAW and if Daimler agrees
to share part of the troubled unit's unfunded pension
liabilities and retiree heath-care costs amounting to US$15
billion.

On the other hand, Magna International Inc. and its potential
partner, Canadian investment firm Onex Corp., plan to each
acquire equal minority stakes in Chrysler and let
DaimlerChrysler keep a small equity in the ailing unit, WSJ
relates, quoting sources familiar with the matter.

Magna also intends to create a separate company for Chrysler and
outsource engineering while keeping the products' design and
assembly in-house, WSJ added.

Concurrently, WSJ reported German bank WestLB AG has acquired a
14% stake in DaimlerChrysler, saying that the move is meant to
help shareholders sell their shares, avoiding a broader selloff,
with plans to reduce its share back to its original 3% level.

                      About DaimlerChrysler

Based in Stuttgart, Germany, DaimlerChrysler AG (NYSE:DCX)
(FRA:DCX) -- http://www.daimlerchrysler.com/-- develops,
manufactures, distributes, and sells various automotive
products, primarily passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial
vehicles worldwide.  It primarily operates in four segments:
Mercedes Car Group, Chrysler Group, Commercial Vehicles, and
Financial Services.

The company's worldwide operations are located in: Canada,
Mexico, United States, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, China,

The Chrysler Group segment offers cars and minivans, pick-up
trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans under the Chrysler,
Jeep, and Dodge brand names.  It also sells parts and
accessories under the MOPAR brand.

The Chrysler Group is facing a difficult market environment in
the United States with excess inventory, non-competitive legacy
costs for employees and retirees, continuing high fuel prices
and a stronger shift in demand toward smaller vehicles.  At the
same time, key competitors have further increased margin and
volume pressures -- particularly on light trucks -- by making
significant price concessions.  In addition, increased interest
rates caused higher sales & marketing expenses.

In order to improve the earnings situation of the Chrysler Group
as quickly and comprehensively, measures to increase sales and
cut costs in the short term are being examined at all stages of
the value chain, in addition to structural changes being
reviewed as well.


DAIMLERCHRYSLER: Boosts Michigan Economy with US$1.78-Bln Deal
--------------------------------------------------------------
DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group will boost the Michigan
economy with an investment of US$1.78 billion, much of it to
start a multi-product "Powertrain Offensive."  The initiative
will consist of:

   * US$730 million for a new plant in Trenton, Mich., to
     produce the "Phoenix" family of V-6 engines;

   * US$700 million in Marysville, Mich., to build a new axle
     plant;

   * US$300 million in the Sterling Heights (Mich.) Assembly
     Plant (SHAP) to expand its paint shop; and

   * US$50 million for retooling of Warren Truck Assembly Plant
     and Warren Stamping Plant for future product.

"This is an important day for the future of the Chrysler Group,
and in particular for the continued competitiveness of our
operations in the State of Michigan," said Chrysler Group
President and CEO Tom LaSorda.  "We have a vision to grow our
business and transform the Chrysler Group into a stronger
company that will be competitive for the long run.  The
investments we are announcing today prove that we are investing
in this vision."

Government officials and community leaders joined Chrysler Group
executives to celebrate the milestone.

The US$1.78 billion Michigan program investment includes product
development costs and is part of the "Recovery and
Transformation Plan" that Mr. LaSorda announced on February 14.
Under the "Recovery and Transformation Plan" umbrella is the
"Powertrain Offensive" -- US$3 billion of investment for
building and retooling existing plants that will produce more
fuel-efficient engines, transmissions and axles and provide
Chrysler Group with a more competitive powertrain portfolio.
The Trenton Phoenix Engine Plant and Marysville Axle Plant are
the first two components of several that make up the "Powertrain
Offensive."

"Michigan is the best place in the country for these investments
to occur and we're proud to have worked hard to make that case
to DaimlerChrysler," said Governor Jennifer M. Granholm.  "When
I met with Dr. Zetsche during my recent investment mission to
Germany, I was emphatic that a strong DaimlerChrysler is
important to Michigan and we stand ready to help them thrive in
our state. DaimlerChrysler's vision for growth and strength
clearly includes Michigan and that's great news for all of us
for Michigan, Michigan workers and Michigan's economy."

   Trenton Phoenix Engine Plant
   ----------------------------
The new Trenton Phoenix Engine Plant, located adjacent to the
Chrysler Group Trenton Engine Plant, is expected to begin
production in 2009.

The Trenton plant will have a competitive labor agreement that
incorporates Smart manufacturing initiatives and flexible CNC-
based machining, volume-bundled parts purchasing, volume-bundled
capital investment and standardized tooling.

Over the long term, the Phoenix family of V-6 engines will
reduce manufacturing complexity by paring the Company's four
current V-6 engine architectures to one.

   Marysville Axle Plant
   ---------------------
The Marysville Axle Plant will be located in the city of
Marysville (St. Clair County).  The US$700 million investment
will include engineering and development for the creation of a
new family of axles that provide better fuel economy.  In
addition, the common axle will allow the Company to consolidate
the number of axles for better economies of scale.

   Sterling Heights Paint Shop
   ---------------------------
The investment at Sterling Heights Assembly Plant will include
retooling that will improve the coatings process in all key
areas of the paint shop including pretreatment, paint mix room
and spray booths.  In addition, the new technology will increase
flexibility and efficiency, which will contribute to improved
quality and reduce costs.

The new paint shop will have the capability to paint any vehicle
in the front-wheel-drive vehicle family, providing future
flexibility for the Corporation.  The paint shop will be
completed in 2009.

   Warren Truck Assembly Plant and Warren Stamping
   -----------------------------------------------
Warren Truck Assembly Plant and Warren Stamping will receive
multiple plant upgrades to improve quality, productivity and
worker ergonomics.  The retooling also will increase flexibility
and prepare it for its role in the Chrysler Group's 20 all-new
vehicle product offensive.

Chrysler Group will provide additional details of its
"Powertrain Offensive" at a later date.  All of these
investments are subject to final approval and incentive
packages.

ASPIS BANK: Fitch Rates EUR40-Million Tier 1 Notes at BB-
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings assigned Greece-based Aspis Bank's EUR15 million
and EUR25 million perpetual non-cumulative callable hybrid
Tier 1 capital notes 'BB-' ratings.

At the same time, the agency has assigned Aspis's EUR50 million
dated subordinated notes a rating of 'BB'.  Aspis uses the issue
proceeds to finance the acquisition of 51% of First Business
Bank, a small Greek shipping bank.

The ratings for the two Tier 1 issues are set two notches below
Aspis's Issuer Default Rating of 'BB+', in line with Fitch's
rating policy for hybrid securities.  The dated subordinated
notes, maturing in 2017, are notched down once from Aspis's IDR
commensurate with the agency's notching policy for senior
subordinated debt for all issuers.  All notes are issued by
Aspis Finance Jersey Ltd. and guaranteed by Aspis.

Both hybrid issues meet Fitch's 'guiding principles' under its
revised methodologies and qualify for equity credit.  These
securities are assigned a Class E equity treatment, giving them
100% equity credit.  This classification recognizes the
securities' subordinated ranking, perpetual nature, non-
cumulative coupons and deferral mechanisms that should provide
financial flexibility in a period of financial distress.  Equity
credit for these instruments and other hybrid securities are
limited to 30% of the total eligible capital as per Fitch's
definition.  Both issues are floating-rate non-cumulative non-
voting preferred securities with an issuer call in 2017, which
is subject to the Bank of Greece's prior consent.  Furthermore
the EUR15 million issue has a 100bp step-up after the first call
date, which, however, does not affect the notching or the equity
credit received.

Under Greek regulation, Tier 1 hybrids are limited to 25% of
Tier 1 capital with a 10% sub-limit for step-up Tier 1 hybrids.
After the issues, Aspis's Tier 1 ratio is - based on end-2006
risk-weighted assets - estimated at 13.1% excluding its FBB
acquisition.  Step-up hybrid Tier 1 capital makes up 7% of total
Tier 1 capital with total hybrid capital accounting for 19%.


YIOULA GLASSWORKS: Moody's Assigns Loss-Given-Default Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with Moody's Investors Service's implementation of
its new Probability-of-Default and Loss-Given-Default rating
methodology for the corporate families in the Gaming, Lodging
and Leisure, Manufacturing, and Energy sectors last week, the
rating agency confirmed its B2 Corporate Family Rating for
Yioula Glassworks S.A.

Moody's also assigned a B2 probability of default rating to the
company.

Debt ratings remain unchanged in conjunction with the
implementation of Moody's Loss Given Default and Probability of
Default rating methodology for existing non-financial
speculative-grade corporate issuers in Europe, Middle East and
Africa.

Moody's explains that current long-term credit ratings are
opinions about expected credit loss, which incorporate both the
likelihood of default and the expected loss in the event of
default.  The LGD rating methodology will disaggregate these two
key assessments in long-term ratings.  The LGD rating
methodology will also enhance the consistency in Moody's
notching practices across industries and will improve the
transparency and accuracy of Moody's ratings as Moody's research
has shown that credit losses on bank loans have tended to be
lower than those for similarly rated bonds.

Probability-of-default ratings are assigned only to issuers, not
specific debt instruments, and use the standard Moody's
alphanumeric scale.  They express Moody's opinion of the
likelihood that any entity within a corporate family will
default on any of its debt obligations.

Loss-given-default assessments are assigned to individual rated
debt issues -- loans, bonds, and preferred stock.  Moody's
opinion of expected loss are expressed as a percent of principal
and accrued interest at the resolution of the default, with
assessments ranging from LGD1 (loss anticipated to be 0% to 9%)
to LGD6 (loss anticipated to be 90% to 100%).

GOLDEN RING: S&P Assigns B Rating on US$150 Million Notes
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' long-term
senior unsecured debt rating to the credit-linked notes issue,
of up to US$150 million, by Golden Ring Finance S.A., a
Luxembourg-registered special purpose entity, on behalf of
St. Petersburg-based integrated Russian construction and
development company CJSC SSMO LenSpecSMU.  LSS will guarantee
the notes.

"The rating on the CLN issue mirrors the long-term corporate
credit rating on LSS," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Lorenzo Sliusarev.  "We expect LSS to use the proceeds from the
debt issue to primarily fund land purchases, in line with its
growth-oriented investment program, and also partly to refinance
nearing debt maturities."

The ratings on LSS are constrained by:

   -- the company's aggressive growth appetite;

   -- the evolving and fairly complex regulatory environment;

   -- a lack of administrative transparency and predictability
      in Russia; and

   -- the company's limited market diversification and size.

A further constraining factor is the cyclical nature of Russia's
construction and development industry, which is exposed to
fluctuating economic dynamics, and uncertainty regarding
Russia's evolving political, legal, and business climate.

These risks are moderated by robust industry growth in Russia,
combined with:

   -- LSS' vertically integrated, competitive business model;

   -- sizable market position; established operating track
      record; and

   -- management's effectiveness in controlling costs and
      maintaining effective administrative relationships.

A moderate debt burden and adequate liquidity also benefit the
company's credit profile.

CLEAR CHANNEL: Amends Merger Deal & Resets Shareholders' Mtg.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Clear Channel Communications Inc. amended its merger agreement
with a private equity group co-led by Bain Capital Partners, LLC
and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., providing for an increase to
US$39.00 per share in the price shareholders will receive in
cash for each share of Clear Channel common stock they hold.

This is an increase from the previous price of US$37.60 per
share in cash.

The increased all-cash merger consideration of US$39.00 per
share represents a premium of approximately 33.3% over the
average closing share price during the 60 trading days ended
October 24, 2006, the day prior to Clear Channel's announcement
of the board of directors' decision to consider strategic
alternatives.

The board of directors of Clear Channel, with the interested
directors recused from the vote, has unanimously approved the
amended merger agreement and recommends that the shareholders
approve the amended merger agreement and the merger.

In conjunction with the increased cash purchase price, Clear
Channel agreed to pay certain fees if the merger does not close
and Clear Channel subsequently consummates a sale of the
company.

                 Rescheduled Shareholders' Meeting

Clear Channel will promptly send updated proxy materials to
shareholders and has rescheduled the Special Meeting of
Shareholders to Tuesday, May 8, 2007, at 9:00 a.m., Central
Daylight Savings Time, to allow shareholders time to consider
the increase in merger consideration.  Shareholders of record as
of March 23, 2007, remain entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting.  Shareholders with questions about the merger or how to
vote their shares should call the Company's proxy solicitor,

CLEAR CHANNEL: Inks Advertising Pact with Google
------------------------------------------------
Clear Channel Communications Inc.'s affiliate, Clear Channel
Radio, and Google Inc., have agreed to sell a guaranteed portion
of 30-second advertising inventory available up to 675 of Clear
Channel's AM/FM stations.  Specific financial terms are not
being disclosed.

"This is a true win-win," said John Hogan, Chief Executive
Officer of Clear Channel Radio.  "Clear Channel Radio gets
access to an entirely new group of advertisers within a new and
complementary sales channel, and Google adds another option for
its existing customers.  Google has proven its ability to gain
premiums for advertising inventory and that fits perfectly into
our broader strategy of building value for advertisers while
increasing our overall revenue yield.  We're committed to
working with the best-in-class and Google has a real economic
incentive to produce meaningfully higher CPMs."

Under the agreement, Google Audio Ads advertisers will enable
to reach specific audiences, at specific times, in targeted
geographies.  For Clear Channel, the agreement opens up an more
sales channel and provides supplemental revenue by making its
inventory available to other advertisers.

"Clear Channel is the market leader in delivering radio value to
consumers and advertisers and has built an innovative platform
to manage its on-air ad inventory," said Eric Schmidt, Chief
Executive Officer of Google.  "We look forward to working with
Clear Channel Radio by providing a unique set of advertisers and
a system that will increase the effectiveness and measurability
of connecting advertisers with radio listeners."

This agreement complements an existing online advertising
partnership in which Google provides text ads to Clear Channel's
radio-station Web sites through the company's Online Music &
Radio Unit.

AK TRANSNEFTEPRODUCT: S&P Puts B+ Rating on CreditWatch Positive
----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B+' long-term
corporate credit rating on Russian government-owned oil product
pipeline company OJSC AK Transnefteproduct on CreditWatch with
positive implications after the Russian president signed a
decree to contribute TNP to the charter capital of Russian
government-owned oil pipeline company OAO AK Transneft.

"The CreditWatch placement reflects the potential benefits for
TNP of a merger with a stronger entity," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Elena Anankina.  "It also reflects likely higher
ongoing and extraordinary government support."

The merger plan is consistent with the Russian government's
policy aimed at strengthening the state's presence in strategic
sectors such as oil and gas.

To date, the ratings on TNP have been based on the company's
stand-alone credit quality, reflecting TNP's position as a
relatively small entity that operates essentially on a
commercial basis and competes with other transportation
providers.  The ratings on Transneft include a two-notch uplift
for extraordinary state support, however, reflecting Transneft's
position as a monopoly crude pipeline operator and the
government's key tool in the country's oil sector. If the merger
with Transneft proceeds as planned, TNP will become a part of a
larger and more politically important government-controlled
entity with much higher negotiating power and better access to
external financing from capital markets and state-controlled
banks.  In addition, the merger might bring TNP extra synergies
in terms of operations and investments.

Although TNP would bring Transneft some diversification and
certain synergies, TNP is small by comparison with Transneft and
is unlikely to have a substantial impact on its financial
metrics and business model.  No debt will be raised to finance
the transaction.  It is not yet clear whether Transneft, in
addition to issuing common stock in exchange for the
government's 100% stake in TNP, will also issue a proportional
amount of preferred stock to private shareholders.  The cash
proceeds are unlikely to be substantial, however.

ROSNEFT OIL: Unit Wins Fifth Auction for Yukos Oil Assets
---------------------------------------------------------
OAO Rosneft Oil Co., through its Neft-Aktiv unit, won the
auction to acquire the fifth lot of OAO Yukos Oil Co.'s assets,
various reports say.

Rosneft offered RUR1.03 billion to acquire the lot, outbidding
rivals Akkord and MorTransInvest, RIA Novosti reports.  The lot
has a RUR992.31-billion starting price with a RUR9.92-million
bid increment.

Neft-Aktiv was among the bidders who joined in the fourth
auction for Yukos' assets on April 17.  However, the company
dropped out in the race after the bidding passed RUR3 billion,
The Moscow Times reports.  The assets, which include Yukos'
energy stakes in the Tambov and Belgorod Regions, went to Monte-
Valle for RUR3.5 billion instead.

On March 27, Rosneft, through its RN-Razvitiye unit, outbid TNK-
BP Holding Ltd. for Yukos' 9.44% stake in Rosneft with its
RUR197.84 billion offer.  Aside from the stake, the assets sold
under the first lot included 12 promissory notes worth RUR3.56
billion in Yuganskneftegaz, Yukos' former main production unit.
According to RIA Novosti, Rosneft acquired the lot at 10 percent
less than the market price.

Eduard Rebgun, Yukos' bankruptcy receiver, will sell the
company's finance units in tomorrow's auction.  The sixth lot
has a RUR3.2-million starting price and a RUR31,000 bid
increment.

Mr. Rebgun called off the auction for the third lot, which
includes Yukos' Moscow headquarters and R&D units, for lack of
bids.

                        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.  A few days
later, the Russian Government sold its main production unit
Yugansk to a little-known firm Baikalfinansgroup for
US$9.35 billion, as payment for US$27.5 billion in tax arrears
for 2000- 2003.  Yugansk eventually was bought by state-owned
Rosneft, which is now claiming more than US$12 billion from
Yukos.

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.

                         About Rosneft

Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, OAO Rosneft Oil Co. --
http://ns.roilcom.ru/english/-- produces and markets petroleum

Siberia, Sakhalin, the North Caucasus, and the Arctic regions of
Russia.

                        *     *     *

In a TCR-Europe report on Mar. 23, Fitch Ratings notes that
Rosneft's plans to borrow US$22 billion from a group of eight
banks in two credit arrangements of US$13 billion maturing in 12
months and US$9 billion maturing in 18 months is currently
incorporated into the company's local and foreign currency
Issuer Default ratings of 'BB+' Rating Watch Positive.

In a TCR-Europe report on Jan. 16, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services raised its long-term corporate credit rating on Russian
OJSC Oil Company Rosneft to 'BB+' from 'BB' and removed it from
CreditWatch, where it had been placed with positive implications
on Nov. 15, 2006.  S&P said the outlook is developing.

SSMO LENSPECSMU: S&P Rates US$150 Million Notes at B
----------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'B' long-term
senior unsecured debt rating to the credit-linked notes issue,
of up to US$150 million, by Golden Ring Finance S.A., a
Luxembourg-registered special purpose entity, on behalf of St.
Petersburg-based integrated Russian construction and development
company CJSC SSMO LenSpecSMU.  LSS will guarantee the notes.

"The rating on the CLN issue mirrors the long-term corporate
credit rating on LSS," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Lorenzo Sliusarev.  "We expect LSS to use the proceeds from the
debt issue to primarily fund land purchases, in line with its
growth-oriented investment program, and also partly to refinance
nearing debt maturities."

The ratings on LSS are constrained by the company's aggressive
growth appetite; the evolving and fairly complex regulatory
environment; a lack of administrative transparency and
predictability in Russia; and the company's limited market
diversification and size.  A further constraining factor is the
cyclical nature of Russia's construction and development
industry, which is exposed to fluctuating economic dynamics, and
uncertainty regarding Russia's evolving political, legal, and
business climate.

These risks are moderated by robust industry growth in Russia,
combined with LSS' vertically integrated, competitive business
model; sizable market position; established operating track
record; and management's effectiveness in controlling costs and
maintaining effective administrative relationships.  A moderate
debt burden and adequate liquidity also benefit the company's
credit profile.

YUKOS OIL: Monte-Valle Wins Energy Assets for RUR3.5 Billion
------------------------------------------------------------
Monte-Valle, founded by an unnamed U.S. citizen, snatched up OAO
Yukos Oil Co.'s stakes in various energy companies at an auction
to sell the bankrupt firm's assets on April 17, published
reports say.

The auction winner offered RUR3.5 billion or US$138 million for
the assets, which included Yukos' stakes in:

    -- ZAO Energy Service Co. (100%),
    -- ESKOM- EnergoTrade (100%),
    -- Belgorodenergo (25.73%),
    -- Tambovenergo (25.15%),
    -- Tambov Energy Sales Company (25.15%),
    -- Tambov Trunk Grid Company (25.15%),
    -- Belgorod Trunk Grid Company (25%),
    -- Belgorod Sales Company (25%),
    -- Corporate Service Systems (25%), and
    -- Territorial Generation Company No. 4 (3.18%).

The assets, which were grouped in one lot, were sold in the
fourth round of Yukos auctions after a third one was called off
due to a lack of bids.

Other bidders who joined in the auction were Financial Agency,
Versar and Rosneft-linked Neft-Aktiv.  The lot carried a RUR2.6
billion starting price, with a RUR26.3 million minimal bid
increment.

According to The Moscow Times, although Monte-Valle paid the lot
35 percent higher than its starting price, the amount is still
below the assets' market value.

The Prime-Tass news agency reports that Monte-Valle was
registered in Moscow and opened in August 2003 by U.S. citizen
Steven Patrick Lynch.

                     Other Auction Winners

On March 27, RN-Razvitiye outbid TNK-BP Holding Ltd. for Yukos'
9.44% stake in Rosneft with its RUR197.84 billion offer.  Aside
from the stake, the assets sold under the first lot included 12
promissory notes worth RUR3.56 billion in Yuganskneftegaz,
Yukos' former main production unit.  According to RIA Novosti,
Rosneft acquired the lot at 10 percent less than the market
price.

On April 4, EniNeftegaz, a joint venture of Italian energy firms
Eni S.p.A. (60%) and Enel S.p.A. (40%), won the bid to acquire
Yukos's 20% stake in OAO Gazprom Neft for RUR151.5 billion.  The
second lot, which carried a starting price of RUR144.78 billion,
also included:

   -- a 100% stake in OAO Arcticgaz;
   -- a 100% stake in ZAO Urengoil; and
   -- 19 other Yukos assets.

Under a call option agreement, OAO Gazprom will acquire the 20%
stake in Gazprom Neft and at least 51% of the gas-related assets
of Arcticgas and Urengoil Inc. from EniNeftegaz, Interfax
relates.

Rosneft Oil and Gazprom are seen as the most likely bidders for
the bulk of the nearly 200 Yukos assets up for liquidation,
which Mr. Rebgun aims to sell by August 2007.

Mr. Rebgun has estimated the firm's assets between US$25.6
billion and US$26.8 billion, minus a possible liquidation
discount of not more than 30 percent.  As of Jan. 31, claims
against Yukos filed by 68 creditors reached RUR709 billion
(US$26.8 billion).

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.

PETROPLUS HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns BB Rating with Stable Outlook
-------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB' long-term
corporate credit rating to Switzerland-based crude oil refiner
Petroplus Holdings AG, one of Europe's largest independent crude
oil refiners.  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, the proposed US$1.2 billion senior unsecured
high-yield notes to be issued by Petroplus Finance Ltd. and
guaranteed by Petroplus Holdings AG were assigned a 'BB-'
rating, one notch lower than Petroplus' corporate credit rating,
reflecting the high US$0.7 billion level of secured inventory
working capital facilities.

"The rating factors in the group's acquisitive growth strategy,
its exposure to the cyclical and highly competitive northwest
European refining environment, and its average cost structure
and profitability," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Karl
Nietvelt.  These weaknesses are offset by:

   -- Adequate asset diversity through five refineries in U.K.,
      Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland

   -- Favorable near-term refining outlook

   -- Experienced management team and

   -- Satisfactory balance sheet structure

The stable outlook factors in S&P's expectation of a favorable
refining environment in the near term and management's
commitment to maintain debt leverage in the order of 40%.
Under current favorable refining margin conditions, this should
result in funds from operations-to-debt ratios in the order of
40%, which could drop to roughly 25% when using Standard &
Poor's 2001-2005 margin assumptions.

After the 242 thousand barrel per day Coryton refinery
acquisition--finalization expected before the end of June 2007--
Petroplus' total capacity will be 625 kbpd, more than three-fold
its capacity at the start of 2006.  On the assumption that
US$0.5 billion of the Coryton acquisition will be funded through
equity, and thanks to a debt-free position at Jan. 31,
Petroplus' year-end net debt is forecast to remain at a
comfortable level of US$1.1 billion-US$1.3 billion.

TURKCELL ILETISIM: Moody's Assigns Loss-Given-Default Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with Moody's Investors Service's implementation of
its new Probability-of-Default and Loss-Given-Default rating
methodology for the corporate families in the
Telecommunications, Media and Technology sectors last week, the
rating agency confirmed its Ba2 Corporate Family Rating for
Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S.

Moody's also assigned a Ba2 probability of default rating to the
company.

Debt ratings remain unchanged in conjunction with the
implementation of Moody's Loss Given Default and Probability of
Default rating methodology for existing non-financial
speculative-grade corporate issuers in Europe, Middle East and
Africa.

Moody's explains that current long-term credit ratings are
opinions about expected credit loss, which incorporate both the
likelihood of default and the expected loss in the event of
default.  The LGD rating methodology will disaggregate these two
key assessments in long-term ratings.  The LGD rating
methodology will also enhance the consistency in Moody's
notching practices across industries and will improve the
transparency and accuracy of Moody's ratings as Moody's research
has shown that credit losses on bank loans have tended to be
lower than those for similarly rated bonds.

Probability-of-default ratings are assigned only to issuers, not
specific debt instruments, and use the standard Moody's
alphanumeric scale.  They express Moody's opinion of the
likelihood that any entity within a corporate family will
default on any of its debt obligations.

Loss-given-default assessments are assigned to individual rated
debt issues -- loans, bonds, and preferred stock.  Moody's
opinion of expected loss are expressed as a percent of principal
and accrued interest at the resolution of the default, with
assessments ranging from LGD1 (loss anticipated to be 0% to 9%)
to LGD6 (loss anticipated to be 90% to 100%).

Headquartered in Instanbul, Turkey, Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri
A.S. -- http://www.turkcell.com.tr/-- provides high-quality
mobile voice and data services through its own GSM network, with
30.8 million subscribers as of September 2006.  The company also
operates in the Ukraine through its indirect subsidiary Astelit,
in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Moldova through its
associate Fintur, and in Northern Cyprus through its wholly
owned subsidiary Kibris Telekom.

EMI GROUP: Expects 15 Percent Decline in EMI Music Revenue
----------------------------------------------------------
EMI Group Plc provided trading update for the financial year
ended March 31, 2007, ahead of the announcement of its
preliminary results on May 23.

The company said that, EMI Music's revenue for the year ended
March 31, 2007, is expected to have declined by 15% at constant
currency, in line with its announcement on Feb. 14.  Digital
revenue in the division is expected to have increased by 59% and
will represent around 10% of revenue.

EMI Music Publishing's revenue is expected to be broadly flat at
constant currency, with digital revenue increasing by 28% and
representing approximately 8% of total sales.

The company anticipated underlying Group EBITDA before
exceptional items of around GBP174 million.

The operating margin for EMI Music is expected to decline in the
year to March 31, 2007, as indicated in February, primarily as a
result of the negative flow through on the sales decline and
higher than expected returns in the post Christmas period.
Music Publishing's operating margin has continued to improve as
a result of reductions in that division's cost base.

EMI has made progress with its cost saving programs. With
respect to the GBP110 million restructuring program announced on
Jan. 12, EMI confirms that it has already executed the vast
majority of the actions envisaged in the plan.

As a result, the Company now expects at least GBP70 million of
the savings will be achieved by March 31, 2008, with the
remainder being reflected in the results for the year ending
March 31, 2009.

EMI also announces that the cash cost of this program will now
be no more than GBP125 million rather than the GBP150 million it
previously announced.

The implementation of the program designed to reduce costs by
GBP30 million, is complete.  Of the GBP30 million, EMI has
delivered savings for the year to March 31, 2007, of GBP17
million and the remaining GBP13 million will be achieved by
March 31, 2008.

Net debt at March 31, 2007, is expected to be around GBP910
million.  On Jan. 12, EMI said it had secured bank commitments
to finance the costs of restructuring and the acquisition of
Toshiba's 45% interest in TOEMI.  The Group has completed a full
refinancing of its revolving credit facilities to allow for
these payments.

As part of its objective to optimize its balance sheet, the
Group has been examining a potential securitization of its Music
Publishing assets, which EMI hopes to complete by the end of
this financial year.  The Company appointed Deutsche Bank and
the Royal Bank of Scotland as Lead Arrangers of the potential
securitization.

In view of the Company's funding requirements, the Board has
decided to suspend dividend payments until the benefits of the
restructuring process have been fully realized.  The Board will
keep the situation under review.

"Our industry is changing at an unprecedented pace and we are
committed to accelerating the transformation of our business to
realize the opportunities before us.  We have launched a number
of significant digital initiatives - most recently the
introduction of DRM-free superior sound quality downloads across
our entire digital repertoire - which reflect our optimism about
the digital environment.  Such initiatives, coupled with tough
management actions, position the Group to make good progress in
the future," Eric Nicoli, EMI Group CEO disclosed.

SEA CONTAINERS: Can Lend Up to US$7 Million to Non-Debtor Unit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Sea Containers Ltd. obtained authority from the Honorable Kevin
J. Carey of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware to provide a secured, intercompany line of credit of up
to US$7,000,000 to its non-debtor subsidiary Sea Containers
Treasury Ltd.

                      Intercompany Funding

Sean T. Greecher, Esq., at Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor LLP,
in Wilmington, Delaware, disclosed that starting in 2002, SCL
initiated an operational restructuring program targeted at
evaluating and selling identified non-core assets held directly
by its foreign, non-debtor subsidiaries.  The Non-Core Asset
sale program requires support from SCL, both in the form of
management oversight and through case flow support.

Mr. Greecher said many of the businesses identified as Non-Core
Assets cannot fully fund their operations on a stand-alone basis
from cash receipts alone because they are cyclical businesses
that have significant funding needs during certain parts of the
year.  Hence, to maintain the operation of the businesses for a
sufficient time to allow for thorough marketing and maximization
of sale value, SCL has been required to fund their operations.

The Debtors believe that the targeted intercompany funding
accomplishes two primary objectives, both aimed at the ultimate
goal of maximizing the value of SCL's assets.

Mr. Greecher related that the Debtors have determined that
meeting the funding needs of certain non-debtor subsidiaries
will preserve the value of Non-Core Assets during a robust
marketing and sale process that will achieve its maximum value.
Also, the Debtors have identified a need to ease cash flow
problems of some non-debtor subsidiaries that could not survive
on their own to prevent creditors from initiating insolvency or
foreclosure proceedings in foreign jurisdiction that would be
detrimental on the Debtors' reorganization and could destroy
value for the stakeholders.

Before the Debtors' filing for bankruptcy, they formed SC
Treasury as a financing subsidiary that would carry out the
business of funding the operations of international subsidiaries
that are or hold Non-Core Assets.  Throughout the Chapter 11
cases, it has successfully operated to help fund operations for
various non-debtor subsidiaries.

SCL has identified a process by which funding requests are made
to SC Treasury and reviewed before any intercompany loans are
made to non-debtor foreign subsidiaries.  The SC Treasury
mechanism has proven to be an effective vehicle to preserve
value in the Non-Core Assets and allow for the orderly
reorganization of the Debtors without an undue cash drain, Mr.
Greecher noted.

As of March 2, 2007, the cash needs of SCL's non-debtor foreign
subsidiaries have been lower than originally projected.  As of
February 21, about US$2,520,000 remained in SC Treasury.  SCL
projects SC Treasury could reallocate the remaining funds and
allow for continued financing of the non-debtor subsidiaries
through March 2007 and will run out of funds after that.

Mr. Greecher told the Court that the Debtors' decision to make
the intercompany loan to facilitate the continued operation of
the SC Treasury funding mechanism for non-debtor foreign
subsidiaries is calibrated to maximize value of their estates
for the benefit of creditors in the form of increasing sale
values for the Non-Core Assets and reducing secondary liability
claims against SCL.  Indirectly, the mechanism avoids the
expense, distraction and potential value-destroying effect of a
series of international insolvency filings for the non-debtor
subsidiaries, he adds.

                        Funding Details

Judge Carey authorized SCL to make intercompany loans available
to non-debtor subsidiary SC Treasury in the form of a line of
credit of up to US$6,000,000, repayable on a demand basis,
secured by all assets of the SC Treasury, at an interest equal
to the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 50 basis points per
annum.

SC Treasury will be permitted to make first priority secured
loans, repayable on a demand basis, at an interest rate of LIBOR
plus 50 basis points per annum, to Sea Containers Opera Ltd.,
secured by a first priority mortgage on the Opera ferry, in an
aggregate maximum amount of US$1,000,000.

SC Treasury will likewise be permitted to make first priority
secured loans, repayable on a demand basis, at an interest rate
of LIBOR plus 50 basis points per annum, to Finnjet Bermuda
Ltd., secured by a firs priority mortgage on the Finnjet ferry,
in an aggregate maximum amount of US$2,500,000.

Moreover, SC Treasury will be permitted to make loans, repayable
on a demand basis, at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 50 basis
points per annum, to SC Finance Ireland Limited in an aggregate
maximum amount of US$900,000, which loans are secured by either:

   (i) a first priority security interest in all assets of SC
       Finance; or

  (ii) other security and priority terms as may be agreed by
       prior consent with the Official Committee of Unsecured
       Creditors and the U.S. Trustee.

Subject to prior written consent of the Creditors Committee and
the U.S. Trustee, SC Treasury will be permitted to make loans in
respect of the Helsinki-Tallinn Business, in an aggregate
maximum amount of US$3,200,000, either:

   (i) at an interest of LIBOR plus 50 basis points per annum to
       SC Finland Oy and Superseacat Ou, secured by a first
       priority interest in the Superseacat 3 and 4 vessels; or

  (ii) on other security, interest, repayment and priority terms
       as may be agreed.

SC Treasury will be permitted to make additional loans in an
aggregate amount of up to US$1,000,000, absent any objections by
either the U.S. Trustee or the Creditors Committee.  Any loan
that does not exceed US$50,000 will not require the consent of
the Creditors Committee and the U.S. Trustee.

SC Treasury may be permitted to reallocate funding under the
Intercompany Loan on these terms, subject to certain conditions.

SEA CONTAINERS: Taps Alixpartners for Restructuring Support
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sea Containers Ltd. revealed a number of organizational and
management changes, which are subject to U.S. court approval.

As Sea Containers Ltd and Sea Containers Services Ltd enter a
new phase of the Chapter 11 process, preparatory to achieving an
inter-creditor settlement, and further progress non-core asset
sales; there is a growing emphasis on simplifying the corporate
structure.  These activities require more technical
restructuring skills and for this reason Sea Containers proposes
to engage AlixPartners, a prominent financial advisory firm
specializing in corporate restructuring.  This engagement will
result in a number of senior management changes at Sea
Containers.

Laura Barlow, a Managing Director in AlixPartners' London
Office, will be appointed Senior Vice- President, Chief
Restructuring Officer effective from April 2 and Chief Financial
Officer effective from May 1.  Ms Barlow, who will be assisted
by Craig Cavin, a Vice President of AlixPartners, will oversee
the disposal program and company simplification initiative.  She
has more than 15 years experience working with companies that
face significant operational and financial challenges and has
held interim restructuring and advisory positions including Dana
Corporation's European operations, Stolt Offshore SA, Boxclever,
Marconi plc and Hyder Consulting. She will report to Robert
Mackenzie, Chief Executive Officer of Sea Containers Ltd.

Ms. Barlow will succeed Ian Durant, who has been Chief Financial
Officer of Sea Containers Ltd since 1 January 2005.  Mr Durant
will be elected as a Director of Sea Containers Ltd and will
continue to serve as a Sea Containers' appointed Director of GE
SeaCo. Mr. Durant will also be available to advise the Sea
Containers' management team on an on-going basis, including with
respect to matters relating to GNER.  During his time at Sea
Containers Mr. Durant oversaw the final sale of Sea Containers'
interest in Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. in November 2005, the
sale of its Silja ferry subsidiary, the transition of GNER into
a management contract and the sale of other container and ferry
assets in 2006.  He also acted as interim Chief Executive
Officer during autumn 2005.

Commenting on the proposed changes, Mackenzie said: "We thank
Ian Durant for his sterling efforts, particularly during
difficult times.  The proposed appointment of AlixPartners
reflects the nature of the US Chapter 11 process in terms of an
increasing requirement for technical restructuring skills,
specialist legal tax needs and a diminishing emphasis on
operational business management and transactional support."

                           *********

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices
are obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources
during the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may
not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing
table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices
reported are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for
actual trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

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.
