Severstal's North American unit said the decision effectively puts to an end a contract dispute between Massey Energy Company and its subsidiary, Central West Virginia Energy Company, and Mountain State Carbon and Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel, now collectively known as Severstal Wheeling, Inc. In so doing, the Court has rendered as final the judgment that supports the compensatory and punitive damages, including interest, totaling approximately US$267 million, originally awarded to Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel and Mountain State Carbon in July 2007 by a West Virginia Circuit Court jury. Severstal acquired Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel and the remaining 50% ownership of the joint venture Mountain State Carbon as part of its acquisition of Esmark, Inc., completed in August 2008. As such, the award payment will be made to the applicable business units of OAO Severstal. Marty Szymanski, Vice President and General Counsel of Severstal North America, commented: "We're pleased to have closure in this matter. It's been a long process as the case has made its way through the trial and appellate courts. The decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to end the appeals process, and allow the original jury award to stand, clearly validates the merits of the case and the substantial efforts of employees and advisors in fighting for a just result." About Severstal Headquartered in Cherepovets, Russia, OAO Severstal -- http://www.severstal.com/-- is the country's largest steel producer, with steel production of 17.1 million tons in 2005. The Company owns Severstal North America, the fifth largest integrated steel maker in the U.S. with 2005 production of 2.7 million tons, and Lucchini, Italy's second largest steel group with 2005 production of 3.5 million tons. Severstal is one of the world's lowest cost and most profitable steel producers, with 2005 EBITDA per ton of around EUR150 per ton. * * * As reported in the TCR-Europe on Dec. 1, 2008, Moody's changed the outlook of Severstal Ba2 rating to negative. The rating action was prompted by recent collapse in demand for steel products and consequential significant reduction in prices for steel products especially from the CIS steel producers as well as the low visibility for prospects of short term recovery and the current limitations for Russian companies to receive funding from local and international banks. At the same time the rating continues to incorporate the sound business profile of the company, and anticipates that the company will be able to adjust its capacity swiftly to remain reasonably profitable and hence generate free cash-flow in 2009. As reported by the TCR-Europe on Nov. 18, 2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on Russia-based steel producer OAO Severstal to stable from positive. This is due to the sharp deterioration in market conditions in the global steel sector in recent months. At the same time, the 'BB' long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings, and the 'ruAA' Russia national scale rating, on Severstal were affirmed. The recovery ratings on the notes are unchanged at '3', indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50%-70%) recovery in the event of a payment default.

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.
