STANFORD INT'L: Kent Schaffer Joins Owner's Defense Team
--------------------------------------------------------
Stanford International Bank Limited owner, Robert Allen Stanford,
the financier accused of orchestrating a multi-billion fraud case,
will be defended by "talented" lawyers at taxpayer expense, Laurel
Brubaker Calkins and Andrew M. Harris at Bloomberg News report.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
September 17, 2009, Reuters said U.S. District Judge David Hittner
has ordered the Public Defender's Office to take the case of Mr.
Stanford, following the financier's statements that he could not
afford to pay lawyers' fees since his assets still remain frozen.
According to the report, Michael Sokolow from the Federal Public
Defender's Office in Houston will be Mr. Stanford's lead attorney
as he replaces Houston attorney Dick DeGuerin, who asked to
withdraw in July after failing to secure a guarantee of payment.
The report related that Robert Luskin, Esq., at Patton Boggs in
Washington, DC, said he and a team of lawyers were prepared to
take over Mr. Stanford's defense but that payment was also an
issue.

Bloomberg News relates that Judge Hittner also approved the
addition of private practitioner Kent Schaffer, whose clients have
included a congressman, a rap entrepreneur, professional athletes
and a Hollywood star.  “Stanford is the luckiest guy in the
criminal justice system,” the report quoted Brian Wice, a Houston
lawyer who has tried cases with [Mr.] Schaffer, as saying.
“Getting [Mr.] Schaffer through the public defender’s office is a
great stroke of luck.  [Mr.] Stanford’s hit the Powerball,” Mr.
Wice added.

Mr. Schaffer, the report relates, said he took the case because he
thinks it will be “intellectually stimulating, maybe a once-in-a-
lifetime opportunity,” even if it doesn’t earn him a dime.  “I’m
not complaining [with the low rate] because I agreed to do it, and
I’ll work my ass off for him,” Mr. Schaffer told Bloomberg News in
an interview.

Bloomberg News notes that Mr. Schaffer will join forces with
investigators and forensic accountants provided by the Houston
Federal Public Defender’s office, led by Marjorie A. Meyers and
her top deputy, Michael Sokolow.

STANFORD INT'L: SFG Director Pleads "Not Guily" in Allegations
--------------------------------------------------------------
Former Stanford Financial Group global security director, Thomas
Raffanello, entered a “not guilty” plea to shredding documents in
violation of a court order to preserve them for a federal
investigation, Laurence Viele Davidson and Laurel Brubaker Calkins
at Bloomberg News reports.  The defendant pleaded before US
Magistrate Robin Rosenbaum in federal court in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida.

“The case is a slap in the face to his otherwise stellar career,”
Richard Sharpstein, Mr. Raffanello’s lawyer, told Bloomberg in an
interview.  “It’s no secret [Mr. Raffanello] went voluntarily to
the FBI without a lawyer to explain the circumstances of shredding
documents,” Mr. Raffanello added.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
September 14, 2009, Mr. Raffanello has been charged in a three-
count superseding indictment with conspiracy to obstruct a U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission proceeding and to destroy
documents in a federal investigation; obstruction of a proceeding
before the SEC; and destruction of records in a federal
investigation, announced Assistant Attorney General of the
Criminal Division Lanny A. Breuer and Acting U.S. Attorney Jeffrey
H. Sloman of the Southern District of Florida.  The initial
indictment in the case was unsealed by the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of Florida on June 19, 2009, and charged
Bruce Perraud of Weston, Fla., a former global security specialist
at the Fort Lauderdale SFG office, with one count of destruction
of records in a federal investigation.  In addition to charging
Mr. Raffanello of Coral Gables, Fla., the superseding indictment
charges Mr. Perraud with an additional count of conspiracy as well
as one count of obstruction of a proceeding before the SEC.

VALERO ENERGY: Aruba PM Expects Sale Deal With PetroChina Soon
--------------------------------------------------------------
Aruban Prime Minister Nelson Oduber expects to be able to agree
soon with PetroChina Co. about the sale of a Valero Energy Corp.
refinery on the island, Joost Akkermans at Bloomberg News reports,
citing Dutch news agency ANP.

According to the report, ANP News said that the local refinery is
strategically placed “well in the market” given the US$16 billion
oil exploration agreement between China and Venezuela earlier this
month.  ANP, the report relates, said that talks are under way.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
August 28, 2009, Reuters said Valero Energy Corp would keep its
235,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Aruba shut indefinitely as
economic conditions have not improved to the point where the plant
can operate profitably.  The report related that Valero spokesman
Bill Day said the pace of maintenance underway at the refinery
will be slowed down and most of the contractors working on
overhauling refinery units will be let go.

A TCRLA report on June 26, 2009, citing The Associated Press,
related that Valero Energy had temporarily close its Aruba
refinery for at least two months this summer, as falling prices
for its refined products make the plant less profitable.  AP noted
that Valero bought the Aruba plant in 2004 but has been looking to
sell it since last year.

                      About Valero Energy

PROTOSTAR LTD: Agrees to Return Erroneous Wire Transfer
-------------------------------------------------------
ProtoStar Ltd. has agreed to return an erroneous transfer made by
a former customer just days after ProtoStar's bankruptcy filing.

On July 28, ProtoStar notified Antrix Corporation Ltd. that it was
terminating an agreement effective July 31, 2009, and consequently
it would not be providing any services for July.  On Aug. 4,
Antrix wire transferred US$262,500 to ProtoStar under the contract
for services ProtoStar would have provided in August.  Saying that
it is not entitled to the payment, ProtoStar has submitted to the
Court a stipulation providing for its return of the money to
Antrix.  The stipulation is scheduled for hearing on October 22.

                       About ProtoStar Ltd.

Hamilton, HM EX, Bermuda-based ProtoStar Ltd. is a satellite
operator formed in 2005 to acquire, modify, launch and operate
high-power geostationary communication satellites for direct-to-
home satellite television and broadband internet access across the
Asia-Pacific region.

The Company and its affiliates filed for Chapter 11 on July 29,
2009 (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 09-12659.)  The Debtor selected
Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP as Delaware counsel; Law Firm of
Appleby as their Bermuda counsel; UBS Securities LLC as financial
advisor & investment banker and Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as
claims and noticing agent.  In their petition, the Debtors listed
between US$100 million and US$500 million each in assets and
debts.  As of December 31, 2008, ProtoStar's consolidated
financial statements, which include non-debtor affiliates, showed
total assets of US$463,000,000 against debts of US$528,000,000.


PROTOSTAR LTD: PLDT Looking for US$27.5MM Deposit, Wants Probe
--------------------------------------------------------------
ProtoStar Ltd. is contesting a motion by Philippine Long Distance
Telephone Company to conduct a probe under F.R.B.P. Rule 2004.

The Debtor says that PLDT's proposal would only delay its ongoing
sale process.  ProtoStar will hold an Oct. 14 auction for the sale
of its two satellites and other assets.

On August 28, 2009, PLDT filed a motion, seeking discovery
relating to "facts and circumstances" relating to PLDT's deals
with ProtoStar and the transfer of US$27.5 million from PLDT to
the Debtors on Sept. 17, 2008.  PLDT says it requires information
to determine whether it possesses certain causes of action or
claims against the Debtors and third parties, including the
Debtors' officers and directors as well as alleged secured
lenders.

The Debtors operate satellites that provide direct-to-home
satellite television and broadband Internet access across the
Asia-Pacific region.  PLDT is a leading telecommunications
provider in the Philippines.  In September 2008, the parties
entered into an agreement where ProtoStar was to provide PLDT with
access to certain transponders on the ProtoStar I Satellite,
thereby providing satellite coverage in specific areas, for a
seven-year term beginning in 2011.  As part of the deal, PLDT gave
a US$27.5 million deposit in September 2008.

ProtoStar in response said that that the PLDT's request for
expedited discovery is overbroad and abusive.  It did not say
whether the Priority Deposit is intact.  It said PLDT is an
unsecured creditor.  Unsecured creditors would have to wait in
line with other equally ranked creditors before receiving pro rata
distributions of their claims pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan.
Secured creditors would have to be paid first before unsecured
creditors are paid.

The Bankruptcy Court has set October 14, 2010, as the general
claims bar date.  Proofs of claim by governmental units are due
January 25, 2010.

Meanwhile the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the
debtors to hire UBS Securities LLC as investment banker and
financial advisor.

ProtoStar is contesting a motion by Philippine Long Distance
Telephone Company for a probe under FRBP Rule 2004.  The Debtor
says that PLDT's claims are merely unsecured claims and any probe
would delay its ongoing sale process.  On August 28, 2009, PLDT
filed a motion, seeking discovery relating solely to money it is
owed, including "facts and circumstances" relating to PLDT's deals
with ProtoStar and the transfer of US$27.5 million from PLDT to
the Debtors on Sept. 17, 2009.

News reports, citing Bank President Aldemir Bendine.  Banco do
Brasil has hired Swiss bank UBS AG to study the restructuring of

Banco do Brasil announced a US$40 million expansion program for
its operations in the U.S. Under the plan, the bank will open as

to expand its free-float of shares, saying he didn't rule out a
new share offer as one mechanism for achieving that goal.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
September 21, 2009, Dow Jones Newswires said that Brazil President
Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, through presidential decree, gave the
bank a go signal to issue American depositary receipts.  The
report related the president also authorized an increase
in the limit of foreign participation in the bank's capital to 20%
from 12.5%.  The report noted that the authorization is a
formality, and the bank still didn't unveil a plan to raise money
from ADR issuance.

Dow Jones Newswires notes that Mr. Bendine said the bank will
focus, for now, only on issuance of Level 1 ADRs.  "We are not
planning to raise money from a full-fledged ADR issue at this
time," Mr. Bendine added.

October, should have the TAV concession for 40 years, with the
right to tariffs throughout operation.  The tendering process
should be completed in early 2010 and the signing of the contract
is forecasted for May 2010, with works scheduled to begin in the
second half of 2010, the report adds.

COMPANHIA SIDERURGICA: Sees Unit IPO Raising Over US$2 Billion

JBS SA: Moody's Changes Outlook to Positive; Affirms 'B1' Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's changed the rating outlook for JBS S.A. to positive from
stable based on the expected receipt of US$2.5 billion in new
common equity to fund the acquisition of 64% of Pilgrim's Pride
Corporation's (not rated) and to reduce debt in the global
consolidated JBS enterprise.  JBS also announced an association
with Bertin S.A. (not rated) in a share-swap transaction involving
no initial cash disbursement.  Both transactions are subject to
closing and regulatory and other approvals that are expected to be
concluded by the end of 2009.

JBS, through its U.S. subsidiary, JBS USA Holdings, Inc., has
agreed to purchase 64% of Pilgrim's Pride, currently in
bankruptcy, for US$800 million in cash.  The US$800 million will
be funded with a portion of the US$2.5 billion from the sale of up
to 26.3% common equity interest in JBS USA Holdings, the immediate
parent of JBS USA, LLC, to a private investor.  Moody's expects
that Pilgrim's Pride planned US$1.75 billion senior secured exit
facility will be standalone, with no guarantees or other support
from any JBS USA entity.  In the quarter ending June 27, 2009,
Pilgrim's Pride reported approximately US$108.6 million in
operating profit, a significant improvement over the two prior
quarters.  Stronger chicken prices following industry capacity
reductions, and lower feed-grain costs, have boosted the margins
of domestic chicken producers in 2009.

JBS has also entered into an association agreement with Bertin
where both controlling shareholders will contribute the totality
of its shares to a new holding company that will become the new
controlling shareholder of JBS with an estimated stake of 60%.
Although Moody's do not rate Bertin, Moody's rate its parent
company, Bracol Holdings Ltda. that holds 73.1% of Bertin.
Bracol's rating is currently a B1 but under review for possible
downgrade and Moody's expect to conclude the review process
shortly.

"The change in outlook to positive is based on the expectation
that part of the excess proceeds from the US$2.5 billion equity
issue will be applied to debt reduction within the consolidated
company," said Moody's VP Senior Analyst, Soummo Mukherjee.  "The
outlook change also recognizes the benefits of further size, scale
and diversification as well as the significant synergy
opportunities that both transactions bring to JBS," added
Mukherjee.

JBS management estimates that synergies with both companies could
exceed US$450 million, primarily from distribution and logistics,
as well as reduction in commercial and selling, general and
administrative costs.  JBS has a solid track record for executing
on its past acquisitions, including the Swift and Smithfield's
beef division incorporations.  Finally, Moody's further
anticipates that JBS USA Holdings will execute its plan for an
initial public offering in the near term.

With these transactions, JBS will become the world's largest
animal protein company.  The Pilgrim's acquisition will allow JBS
to become the 2nd largest poultry processor in the U.S. market and
have a presence in the Mexican market.  The association with
Bertin will make JBS the largest leather processor in Brazil and
further consolidate its position as the leading beef processing
company in the world.

The Pilgrim's Pride transaction introduces new operational and
integration risks to JBS, as this is the first time JBS is
entering the poultry business and the company is emerging out of
bankruptcy.  Moody's views JBS's rapid growth strategy as a factor
that increases its risk profile as a result of the added
integration risks and the challenges associated with such rapid
growth.  Since Moody's initiated Moody's rating coverage of JBS SA
in 2005, consolidated annual revenues have grown almost 17 times
from around BRL3.6 billion to around BRL60.7 billion pro-forma
after the recent transactions.  However, JBS has not yet posted a
full year with positive free cash flow, although cash flow from
operations improved considerably in the last twelve months ending
on June 30, 2009, at BRL1.26 billion, up from BRL584 million in
2008 and BRL-431 million in 2007.

The ratings could be upgraded if JBS SA reports stronger and less
volatile consolidated cash flow, both before and after working
capital changes.  Given the positive outlook, a downgrade to the
ratings is unlikely in the near term, but could be caused by
weaker liquidity or a large debt-financed acquisition.

Ratings affirmed with a positive outlook:

  -- Corporate family rating: B1
  -- US$275 million 9.375% senior unsecured notes due 2011: B1
  -- US$300 million 10.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016: B1

Moody's last rating action on JBS was on March 25, 2009, when
Moody's changed JBS's B1 rating outlook to stable from negative.

Headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, JBS is the world's largest
beef producer in terms of slaughter capacity, the leading beef
player in Brazil, Australia and Argentina and the third largest
pork producer in the USA.  With net revenues of US$17.5 billion in
the last twelve months ended in June 2009, JBS currently has a
slaughter capacity of 73,900 heads per day for cattle and 48,500
heads per day for hogs.


JBS USA: Moody's Gives Positive Outlook; Affirms 'B1' Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed the rating outlook of JBS USA,
LLC, to positive from stable based on the expected receipt of up
to US$2.5 billion in new common equity to fund the acquisition of
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation and to reduce debt in the global
consolidated JBS enterprise.  Moody's affirmed the company's B1
senior unsecured debt rating.  The corporate family rating of
ultimate parent JBS S.A. is B1 and its outlook is positive.

Rating affirmed:

  -- US$700 million senior unsecured Notes due 2014, and
     guaranteed by JBS S.A., at B1

JBS S.A., through subsidiary JBS USA Holdings, Inc., has agreed to
purchase 64% of Pilgrim's Pride Corporation, currently in
bankruptcy, for US$800 million in cash.  The US$800 million will
be funded with a portion of the US$2.5 billion from the sale of up
to 26.3% common equity interest in JBS USA Holdings, the immediate
parent of JBS USA, LLC, to a private investor.  Moody's expects
that Pilgrim's Pride planned US$1.75 billion senior secured exit
facility will be standalone, with no guarantees or other support
from any JBS entity.  In the quarter ending June 27, 2009,
Pilgrim's Pride reported approximately US$108.6 million in
operating profit, a significant improvement over the two prior
quarters.  Stronger chicken prices following industry capacity
reductions, and lower feed-grain costs, have boosted the margins
of domestic chicken producers in 2009.

The change in outlook to positive at ultimate parent JBS S.A. is
based on the expectation that part of the excess proceeds from the
US$2.5 billion equity issue will be applied to debt reduction
within the consolidated company.  The outlook change also
recognizes the benefits of further size, scale and diversification
as well as the significant synergy opportunities that transactions
with Pilgrim's Pride and also Bertin bring to JBS S.A.  Finally,
Moody's further anticipates that JBS USA Holdings will execute its
plan for an initial public offering in the near term.

With these transactions, ultimate parent JBS S.A. will become the
world's largest animal protein company.  JBS S.A. currently has
total management and ownership control of issuer JBS USA, LLC, and
its immediate holding company JBS USA Holdings, Inc. -- including
the ability to formulate strategy.  JBS S.A.'s ownership stake in
JBS USA Holdings will fall upon the issuance of US$2.5 billion
equity to a private investor, and will drop further upon the
proposed IPO; but JBS S.A. is likely to remain the controlling
shareholder, and the Batista family is expected to be the
controlling shareholder of JBS S.A.  JBS S.A. guarantees LLC's
US$400 million unrated 'ABL' expiring in November 2011 and the
rated Notes.  There is some intercompany debt owed by JBS USA
Holdings to the Brazilian parent JBS S.A.  LLC's ABL and its Notes
allow for the payment of dividends up to 50% of consolidated net
income as defined, and do not limit the amount of loans that
Holdings or LLC can make to JBS S.A.  The US businesses currently
account for the majority of JBS S.A.'s global consolidated
operations.  For these reasons, the B1 corporate family rating of
JBS S.A. is the basis for the rating for LLC's Notes.  The rating
of the Notes is also at the same level as JBS S.A.'s US$300
million 10.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016, which are
guaranteed by JBS USA Holdings, by LLC and by Swift Beef.

Moody's most recent rating action for JBS USA, LLC, on April 14,
2009, assigned a B1 rating to this issuer's Notes, with a stable
outlook.  On April 27, 2009, Moody's commented that the outbreaks
of influenza A (H1N1) had not at that time had an impact on the
rating of the issuer.

JBS USA, LLC, is one of the world's leading beef and pork
processing companies.  Its largest business segments are domestic
beef processing (70.1% of fiscal 2008 sales, pro forma for a full
year of Smithfield beef), domestic pork processing (16.1%) and
beef operations in Australia (13.8%).  Reported sales for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2009, were approximately
US$13.4 billion.  JBS USA, LLC, is ultimately wholly owned by JBS
S.A., the world's largest beef producer in terms of slaughter
capacity.

AIR JAMAICA: Gov't Condemns Attempts to Block Divestment Process
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jamaica Prime Minister Bruce Golding has involved himself in the
divestment of Air Jamaica Limited to protect the process from
being harmed by unnecessary delays, Jamaica Observer reports.  The
report, citing an unnamed source, relates that Mr. Golding's
actions followed reports that divestment is being undermined by
some people within the administration who fear the sale will
deprive them of personal benefits.

According to the report, a government official close to the
negotiations blasted the people in the administration who had
sought to block the sale.  "They haven't grasped the importance of
the divestment," the report quoted the unnamed official as saying.
"If the airline is not sold by October the government will most
likely have to lock it down," he added.  The report points out
that the unnamed official said that people opposed to the sale
would delay giving information to the potential investors and
engaged in a campaign of bad-mouthing the divestment.

The Observer notes that officials involved in the process said
that the airline could not sustain another period of losses.  The
report relates that the delay in the sale has aggravated a number
of factors that could make the prospect of buying the carrier a
bit unattractive.   Among them are that fuel prices trended up
since the time Air Jamaica was put up for divestment; High lease
agreements, a large staff compliment, and the route cuts made
earlier by Air Jamaica.  "Right now [the divestment] has a 50-50
chance.  It's not a done deal," the unnamed official said, the
report adds.

                          About Air Jamaica

Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica, Air Jamaica Limited --
http://www.airjamaica.com/-- was founded in 1969.  It flies
passengers and cargo to almost 30 destinations in the Caribbean,
Europe, and North America.  Air Jamaica offers vacation packages
through Air Jamaica Vacations.  The company closed its intra-
island services unit, Air Jamaica Express, in October 2005.  The
Jamaican government owned 25% of the company after it went private
in 1994.  However, in late 2004, the government assumed full
ownership of the airline after an investor group turned over its
75% stake.  The Jamaican government does not plan to own Air
Jamaica permanently.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
August 10, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it
lowered its foreign currency corporate credit rating on Air
Jamaica Ltd. to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The outlook is negative.  The
rating action followed S&P's recent lowering of the long-term
sovereign credit rating on Jamaica (CCC+/Negative/C).


AIR JAMAICA: Plans to Start Lay Off by Month's End
--------------------------------------------------
Air Jamaica Limited said will start to lay off several categories
of workers by September 30, RadioJamaica reports.  The report
relates that an unnamed source said the exercise will affect
various groups of employees the airline, but the exact number of
persons to be affected has not been finalized.

According to the report, Air Jamaica's management and trade unions
are still engaged in talks on the matter.

The report notes that the lay-offs will be carried out as part of
cost cutting measures as efforts continue to find a buyer for Air
Jamaica.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
June 29, 2009, RadioJamaica News said the Jamaican government
indicated it will name a buyer for cash-strapped Air Jamaica.  A
TCR-LA report on June 10, citing Jamaica Observer, related that
Trinidad and Tobago-owned Caribbean Airlines and Thomas Cook have
both expressed an interest in acquiring Air Jamaica.  Radio
Jamaica said the airline has been hemorrhaging over US$150 million
per annum and the government has had to foot the massive bill.
Moreover, Radio Jamaica said, Air Jamaica currently has over
US$600 million in loans outstanding.

                          About Air Jamaica

Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica, Air Jamaica Limited --
http://www.airjamaica.com/-- was founded in 1969.  It flies
passengers and cargo to almost 30 destinations in the Caribbean,
Europe, and North America.  Air Jamaica offers vacation packages
through Air Jamaica Vacations.  The company closed its intra-
island services unit, Air Jamaica Express, in October 2005.  The
Jamaican government owned 25% of the company after it went private
in 1994.  However, in late 2004, the government assumed full
ownership of the airline after an investor group turned over its
75% stake.  The Jamaican government does not plan to own Air
Jamaica permanently.

August 10, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it
lowered its foreign currency corporate credit rating on Air
Jamaica Ltd. to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.  The outlook is negative.  The
rating action followed S&P's recent lowering of the long-term
sovereign credit rating on Jamaica (CCC+/Negative/C).

AXTEL SAB: 79% of Holders Tenders Notes & Delivered Consents
------------------------------------------------------------
Axtel, S.A.B. de C.V. said that -- as of 5:00 PM, New York City
Time, on September 16, 2009, pursuant to a tender offer and
consent solicitation -- it had received the requisite consents
from holders of its 11% Senior Notes due 2013 to certain proposed
amendments to the indenture governing the Notes and promptly
thereafter executed a supplemental indenture giving effect to the
proposed amendments.

As of the Consent Expiration Date, holders of approximately
US$128.5 million principal amount of Notes, representing
approximately 79% of the approximately US$162.5 million principal
amount of Notes current outstanding, had tendered their Notes and
delivered consents.

Pursuant to the supplemental indenture, the Indenture has been
amended to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive
covenants, several affirmative covenants and events of default
contained in the Indenture and to modify the covenant regarding
mergers, consolidations and transfers of the Company's properties
and assets substantially as an entirety.  Although certain
restrictive covenants have been eliminated from the Indenture, the
Company will continue to comply with the restrictive covenants
contained in its other debt instruments, including the indenture
governing the company's 7-5/8% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2017.
Additionally, the company will continue to comply with the
reporting requirements under securities laws applicable to
publicly listed companies in Mexico and the 2017 Indenture.

The supplemental indenture became effective when it was executed,
and, as a result, tendered Notes and delivered consents may no
longer be withdrawn or revoked.  The amendments became operative
concurrently with the execution of the supplemental indenture,
provided all Notes in respect of such requisite consents validly
tendered and not withdrawn are accepted for purchase pursuant to
the tender offer.

Each holder of Notes who validly consented to the proposed
amendments on or prior to the Consent Expiration Date, and did not
validly withdraw such consent, will be entitled to 105.75% of the
principal amount of such Notes.  The Total Consideration includes
a consent payment equal to 3.0% of the principal amount of Notes
validly tendered and not withdrawn and as to which consents to the
proposed amendments were delivered on or prior to the Consent
Expiration Date.

The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New
York City time, on September 30, 2009, unless extended or earlier
terminated by the Company.  Holders who validly tender their Notes
after the Consent Expiration Date and on or prior to the Offer
Expiration Date will be eligible to receive an amount, paid in
cash, equal to the Total Consideration less the Consent Payment.
Holders whose Notes are accepted for payment will also receive
accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such purchased Notes
from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the
applicable settlement date.

The tender offer is subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, including,
among other things, the receipt by the Company of financing in an
amount and on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company in
its sole discretion.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
September 10, 2009, top rating agencies has rated the company:

   -- Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba2 rating to
      Axtel, S.A.B. de C.V.'s proposed up to US$300 million
      in senior unsecured notes due 2019;
   -- Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed
      its ratings, including the 'BB-' corporate credit rating,
      on Axtel S.A.B de C.V.; and

   -- Fitch Ratings has assigned these ratings for Axtel,
      S.A.B. De C.V.:

         * Local currency Issuer Default Ratings at 'BB';

         * Foreign currency IDR at 'BB';

         * Proposed senior notes due 2019 for up to
           US$300 million at 'BB';


CASA DE BOLSA: Moody's Assigns 'B2' Currency Issuer Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned its long and short-term B2/Not
Prime global local currency issuer ratings to Casa de Bolsa Arka,
S.A. de C.V.  On its Mexican National Scale, Moody's de Mexico
assigned a Baa3.mx long term and MX-3 short term issuer ratings.
All these ratings have stable outlooks.

Moody's indicated that CB Arka's ratings reflect the broker's
essentially monoline and still developing franchise under its
current management and ownership as well as the challenges
presented by a highly competitive industry particularly in light
of the modest array of products and services it offers relative to
larger and more diversified peers in Mexico.  The ratings also
incorporate CB Arka's modest profitability overall as a result of
still weak core earnings generation and high operating costs -- a
factor which raises concerns about the company's ability to absorb
potential losses and generate capital over time.  Moreover,
Moody's expressed that although capitalization exceeds Mexican
regulatory requirement the existence of uncovered contingencies
related to unresolved legal claims could pose a challenge to
capital.

The ratings at the same time take into account the company's low-
risk business mix, which derives mostly from customer-driven
agency business that represents a recurring source of fees and a
increasing stream of FX-related revenues.

The rating agency noted that CB Arka's B2 global local currency
issuer rating is consistent with its baseline credit assessment of
B2, and as such does not incorporate parental support.  Moody's,
however considers as a positive rating factor CB Arka's shared
ownership structure with that of Mexican financial group Grupo
Financiero Ve por Mas (GFBX+).  This relationship provides for
developing business links and synergies with the entities of
GFBX+, including Banco Ve por Mas and Arrendadora Ve por Mas.  The
interconnections among these entities include sharing of
infrastructure, distribution capacity, client base and, most
importantly, risk management practices.  On the other hand, CB
Arka's closely held ownership and management structure presents
potential corporate governance-related risks that serve to limit
CB Arka's ratings.

The long-term Mexican National Scale rating of Baa3.mx indicates
issuers or issues with average creditworthiness relative to other
domestic issuers.  The short-term Mexican National Scale rating of
MX-3 indicates that the issuer has an average ability to repay
short-term senior unsecured debt obligations relative to other
domestic issuers.

CB Arka is headquartered in Mexico City.  As of March 2009, CB
Arka had around Mx$13.7 billion in assets under management.

These issuer ratings were assigned to Casa de Bolsa Arka, S.A. de
C.V.:

* Global local currency, long term: B2, stable outlook
* Global local currency, short term: Not-Prime
* Mexican National Scale, long term: Baa3.mx, stable outlook
* Mexican National Scale, short term: MX-3


CEMEX SAB: Agrees to Pay Fine for Failing to Report Diesel Spill
----------------------------------------------------------------
CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.  has agreed to pay US$25,000 for failing to
report a 900-gallon fuel spill at the company's Davenport plant,
which was discovered by an inspector from the county Environmental
Health Services, Jennifer Squires at Mercury News reports, citing
the District Attorney's Office.

According to the report, the D.A.'s office said that the company
worked with the county to clean up the site and take the
appropriate steps to mitigate the environmental damage of the
spill, but still faced punitive actions because the company did
not report the unauthorized release of a hazardous material.

Mercury News notes that the fine is the latest in a string of
difficulties for the currently-shuttered cement plant.

A year ago, the report recalls, Cemex came under scrutiny by the
Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District for emitting
the cancer-causing chromium 6 in cement dust blown from the plant,
which led to the halting of the company's operations while
officials corrected the problem.  The report relates that in
March, the company shutdown its plant, citing the drop in demand
for cement during the economic downturn, that led to the laid off
of more than 100 employees.

Mercury News says the plant, scheduled to be closed for at least
six months, has not reopened and the company did not have a date
to reopen the facility.

                         About CEMEX SAB

* URUGUAY: Sells US$500MM of 16-Year Bonds in Overseas Markets
--------------------------------------------------------------
John Detrixhe and Lester Pimentel at Bloomberg News report that
Uruguay sold US$500 million of bonds maturing in 2025 in its first
international debt issue in three years.  Uruguay issued the
16-year bonds to yield 340.3 basis points above U.S. Treasuries,
according to Bloomberg data.  The report relates that the issue is
the first since October 2006, when the government sold US$500
million in a re-opening of its 7.625 percent bonds due in 2036

According to the report, Uruguay tapped overseas debt markets amid
a rally in emerging-market debt sparked by a recovering global
economy.

“This is the seasonal period of pre-funding with Mexico first out
of the gate and Uruguay also a likely candidate especially as it
can source funds before the October elections,” the report quoted
Siobhan Morden, an analyst with RBS Securities Inc. in Stamford,
Connecticut, as saying.

Bloomberg News, citing JPMorgan Chase & Co, notes that the yield
on Uruguay’s 2036 notes has tumbled 2.14 percentage points to 7.22
percent this year.  The bond’s price has climbed to 104.75 cents
on the dollar from 83 cents during that period, the report says.

                           *     *     *

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
July 15, 2009, Fitch Ratings revised the Outlook for Uruguay's
ratings to Positive from Stable.  In addition, Fitch affirmed
Uruguay's foreign currency Issuer Default Rating at 'BB-' and its
local currency IDR at 'BB'.  Fitch also affirmed Uruguay's country
ceiling at 'BB+' and the short-term IDR at 'B'.

Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA 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-LA constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on
the latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  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-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
