STANFORD INT'L: SFG Receiver & SEC Ask Judge to Put Suits on Hold
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Laurel Brubaker Calkins and Andrew M. Harris at Bloomberg News
report that Ralph Janvey, the court-appointed receiver for
Stanford Financial Group, and U.S. regulators have asked a federal
judge to temporarily stop all lawsuits by investors against their
former financial advisers at Stanford Group Co. and other
Stanford-related entities.
"There have now been more than 50 cases filed in state and federal
courts that somehow relate to the sale of Stanford CDs or the
receivership," the report quoted Kevin Sadler, an attorney for Mr.
Janvey, as saying in a filing made jointly with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. Responding to investors'
document requests to support those lawsuits "will consume more and
more" of the dwindling assets the receiver could use to repay all
investors allegedly swindled by the Texas financier, Mr. Sadler
added.
According to the report, Stanford investors have sued their former
financial advisers and the clearinghouse and trust company that
serviced their accounts in an attempt to recover some of the
estimated US$7 billion lost through an alleged Ponzi scheme.
Bloomberg News notes that in court filings, investors' lawyers
have urged the judge to allow the suits, which the receiver and
regulators want to delay until Stanford's criminal and SEC cases
are completed. The report relates that the investors claim their
lawsuits are their best hope of generating significant recovery by
tapping insurance coverage for the brokers and other entities
before deadlines for filing such claims.

TELECOM ARGENTINA: Appeal Court Halts Stake Sale Timetable
----------------------------------------------------------
An appeals court in Argentina has suspended the timetable in which
Telecom Italia SpA was obliged by antitrust regulators to sell its
stake in the parent company of Telecom Argentina SA, Giada Zampano
and Gilles Castonguay at Dow Jones Newswires report. "This shows
that the justice system works in Argentina and that it always
rules in our favor in important circumstances," the report quoted
Telecom Italia Chief Executive Franco Bernabe as saying.
According to the report, Mr. Bernabe said that with Telecom Italia
appealing the order, Bernabe said he refused to be forced to sell
the stake outright. "On the basis of the offers . . . we will
review the benefit or not of selling (it)," the report quoted Mr.
Bernabe as saying.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
January 12, 2010, Total Telecom News said that Telecom Italia must
get out of Argentina by February 25, 2010, or face government
intervention in the sale of its stake in Telecom Argentina S.A.
Dow Jones Newswires related that Argentina's National Antitrust
Commission has given Telecom Italia one year to divest its stakes
in Telecom Argentina, due to a conflict of interest. According to
the report, CNDC said that Spain's Telefonica SA's minority stake
in Telecom Italia creates a conflict between the two companies'
Argentine operations. The report related that Telefonica owns
Telefonica Argentina, which shares an effective duopoly over the
Argentine telecommunications sector with Telecom.

as the steelmaker slowly diversifies from its core business
outside its home base. The report related that the bid

CAMARGO CORREA: Bid for Cimpor Violates Bid Rules, CSN Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jim Silver at Bloomberg News reports that Companhia Siderurgica
Nacional SA's plan to take over Portugal's largest cement maker is
being sabotaged by a smaller rival violating securities rules.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
December 22, 2009, Reuters said that CSN offered to buy Cimpor for
as the steelmaker slowly diversifies from its core business
outside its home base. The report related that the bid
underscores efforts by CSN's Chief Executive Benjamin Steinbruch
to grow in areas other than steel and mining.
According to Bloomberg News, CSN said that Camargo Correa is
attempting to skirt Portuguese rules, which require a counterbid
to exceed the previous offer by at least 2%. The report relates
that Cimpor would give either company an opportunity to benefit
from a surge in construction fueled by the 2014 World Cup and the
2016 Olympics. "More than making a competing offer, Camargo is
preventing CSN from buying Cimpor," the report quoted Pedro
Rodrigues, a fund manager at Finivalor in Lisbon who handles 170
million euros in stocks and bonds and sold his Cimpor shares, as
saying. "This can't be considered a counterbid," he added.
Camargo Correa, Bloomberg News notes, wants to win control of
Lisbon-based Cimpor "in more favorable conditions than would be
imposed on a competing bidder,"
According to a TCRLA report on January 14, 2010, citing Bloomberg
News, Camargo Correa offered to buy an unspecified stake in
Cimpor-Cimentos de Portugal and merge its Portuguese unit into the
company to repel a rival EUR3.86 billion (US$5.6 billion) offer
from CSN. According to the report, citing a regulatory filing,
Camargo Correa will hold a stake of between 15% and 25% for the
transaction to close, and will "necessarily" have a stake of less
than 50 percent in Cimpor. The report related that Camargo also
agreed to pay as much as EUR350 million to Cimpor's shareholders.

AIR JAMAICA: NDM Concerned Over Pending Airline Sale
----------------------------------------------------
National Democratic Movement is calling on the Jamaican government
to immediate disclose to the public, the details of the pending
sale of Air Jamaica Limited to Trinidad and Tobago's Caribbean
Airlines, RadioJamaica reports. The report relates that NDM
General Secretary, Michael Williams, said that the party is
concerned that Air Jamaica may be sold without public knowledge
and at a ridiculous price. The government needs to clarify
several issues about the sale of the national airline, he added.
"Based on the information that has been received, it seems as if
the government is doing another FINSAC with the assets of Air
Jamaica. We need to know what is the value of Air Jamaica's slots
around the world and in particular the gateways leading to North
American cities, for example, New York and Toronto," the report
quoted Mr. Williams as saying.
Mr. Williams, the report notes added that like the government, the
NDM wants to see Air Jamaica taken off the budget however; he
contends that it must not be given away free to any foreign
entity.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
January 11, 2010, RadioJamaica said that a divestment deal could
be inked as early as this week between the national airline Air
Jamaica and Caribbean Airlines. The report related that
sources said that discussions are presently in an advanced stage
and the stakeholders are expected to meet this week to sign the
agreement.
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
November 5, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it
lowered its long-term corporate credit rating on Air Jamaica Ltd.
to 'CCC' from 'CCC+'. The outlook is negative.
DIGICEL GROUP: Claro's Lower Call Rates on Hold
-----------------------------------------------
Digicel Group has successfully stalled efforts by competitor Claro
to reduce rates to customers for cross network calls, RadioJamaica
reports. The report relates that the Jamaican Supreme Court made
the ruling on January 14.
According to the report, Digicel had asked the court for leave to
argue that the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) has no
jurisdiction to arbitrate in the cross network charges between the
two providers. The report relates that OUR was expected to make a
decision in the matter this month but instead, the Supreme Court
will begin hearings on the issue on Tuesday, February 9.
RadioJamaica, citing a company statement, Claro questioned why
Digicel would argue that the OUR, which is the appointed regulator
for telecommunications, would not have jurisdiction in such
matters and choose instead to move the matter into the local
courts, especially when the OUR is better equipped to deal with
these complex and dynamic issues facing the telecommunications
industry.
Claro Carrier Services Director, Robert Shaw, said that his
company has been trying for a year to assist its customers by
having the cross network charges to Digicel reduced, but has been
unable to do so because Digicel has refused to reduce rates to
Claro, the report says.

JAMAICAN CREDIT: S&P Puts 'B' Rating on CreditWatch Developings
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'B' rating on
Jamaican Credit Card Merchant Voucher Receivables Master Trust's
(the trust's) US$225 million floating-rate certificates series
2001-A due 2013 on CreditWatch with developing implications.
S&P's rating on the series 2001-A certificates reflects S&P's
long-term sovereign credit rating on Jamaica ('SD'); S&P's foreign
and local currency ratings on National Commercial Bank Jamaica
Ltd. (CCC/Watch Dev/C); and S&P's 'B' survivability assessment on
NCB, which addresses the bank's ability to acquire the necessary
Visa and MasterCard merchant voucher assets to service the
transaction even under a state of selective default or other
financial impairment. The rating also reflects S&P's view of the
series 2001-A transaction's strong credit enhancement level
through overcollateralization and other structural features that
mitigate sovereign interference risk and other credit risks.
The rating action follows the Jan. 15, 2010, placement of S&P's
long-term foreign and local currency credit ratings on NCB on
CreditWatch developing and the Jan. 14, 2010, lowering of S&P's
long- and short-term sovereign credit ratings on Jamaica to 'SD'
from 'CCC/C'.
The CreditWatch placement of S&P's ratings on NBC reflects the
revision of its ratings on Jamaica to 'SD' due to the country's
domestic debt exchange program. The debt exchange program can
have an impact on NCB's future development, considering the bank's
large exposure to Jamaican sovereign-debt securities and loans to
public entities, which represent 57% of its total investment and
loan portfolio. NCB's exposure to the sovereign-debt securities
that will be restructured represents 53% of its investment
portfolio as of year-end 2009.
S&P's 'B' survivability assessment remains three notches above
NCB's counterparty credit rating based on S&P's expectation that
the Jamaican government could give certain assistance to the bank
if needed because of NCB's significant market share in the country
as well as the bank's adequate financial performance, large branch
network, and large deposit base. If S&P's assessment of the level
of support NCB could receive from the Jamaican government changes,
NCB's survivability assessment would be affected by more than one
notch.
The trust's performance has been strong since 2001. As of January
2010, the series 2001-A transaction's quarterly debt service
coverage ratio was 6.24x, a decrease from historical levels. In
S&P's view, this lower DSCR reflects a decline in collections due
to the global economic downturn and the fact that the transaction
has finished its interest-only payment period and has begun paying
principal. The 6.24x DSCR meets S&P's criteria requirements for a
'B' rating.
NCB, one of Jamaica's leading banks, sold all of its existing and
future rights to receive U.S. dollar-denominated payments from
Visa International Service Association and MasterCard
International Inc. to the issuer. The payment rights include the
amounts owed in regard to cash advances made through Plus System
Inc. or Cirrus System Inc., the cash advance systems operated by
Visa and MasterCard, respectively. These receivables arise from
NCB's acquisition of the electronic or paper transaction vouchers
that foreign cardholder charges generate when cardholders use
NCB's voucher processing services.
NATIONAL COMMERCIAL: S&P Puts 'CCC/C' Ratings on Developing Watch
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services placed its 'CCC/C' ratings on
National Commercial Bank Jamaica Ltd. on CreditWatch Developing.
The CreditWatch placement follows S&P's revision of Jamaica's
sovereign rating to 'SD' from 'CCC/C' due to its new domestic debt
exchange program, which S&P believes will have an impact on NCB's
financial profile. S&P's survivability assessment remains three
notches above NCB's long-term rating.
"The ratings on NCB were placed on CreditWatch Developing
signaling that the ratings could be upgraded, downgraded, or
remain at the current level. In this sense, if the bank's
liquidity and asset quality are affected by Jamaica's domestic
debt-exchange program, the ratings could be lowered. However, if
the bank is able to steer its way through Jamaica's turbulent
economic situation while maintaining an adequate financial
performance, the ratings could be maintained or upgraded up to
Jamaica's sovereign credit rating level," said Standard & Poor's
credit analyst Alfredo Calvo.
The placement of the ratings on CreditWatch Developing reflects
S&P's ratings revision on Jamaica to 'SD' due to its domestic
debt-exchange program. S&P believes this could affect the bank's
future performance, especially considering NCB's large exposure to
Jamaican sovereign-debt securities and loans to public entities
(57% of its total investment and loan portfolio). The bank's
exposure to the government's securities that will be restructured
represents 53% of its investment portfolio as of year-end 2009.
S&P expects to resolve the CreditWatch once S&P assess the affect
of a restructuring program on NCB's liquidity and future
performance.
S&P's survivability assessment remains three notches above NCB's
counterparty credit rating based on S&P's expectation that the
government could give certain assistance to the bank if needed
because of NCB's significant market share in the country, its
adequate financial performance, and the bank's large branch
network and deposit base. In the case of a negative rating action
on NCB, the survivability assessment would be affected by more
than one notch if S&P decide to lower the notches of support for
the assessment.
"We will review NCB's liquidity profile and asset quality to
resolve the CreditWatch status. The ratings could be downgraded
if NCB's liquidity comes under significant pressure in either
Jamaican or U.S. dollars, or if asset quality deteriorates
dramatically. The ratings could be upgraded or maintained at
current rating level if the bank is able to face Jamaica's
challenging economic environment, while maintaining adequate
financial performance," Mr. Calvo added.
SAGICOR LIFE: S&P Corrects Press Release on Ratings
---------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that a rating cited in the
previously published version of this bulletin mistakenly implied
the lowering of the sovereign rating on Jamaica to a full, rather
than selective, default. S&P has published a corrected version.
S&P said that its ratings on Sagicor Life Inc. and SagicorFinance
Ltd. are unaffected by the Jan. 14 sovereign downgrade of Jamaica
to 'SD' from 'CCC'. The 'BBB' local currency financial strength
and global scale counterparty credit ratings on Sagicor, and the
'BBB-' senior unsecured rating on the obligations of its finance
subsidiary, remain on CreditWatch, where they were placed with
negative implications on Aug. 14, 2009. S&P believes the domestic
debt exchange program that Jamaica launched officially yesterday
doesn't materially affect Sagicor's liquidity and financial
performance. Moreoever, the company's risk management practices
seek to address its exposure to Jamaica, which is diminishing.
Meanwhile, S&P will continue to monitor Sagicor's strategies for
managing this Jamaican exposure, to resolve the CreditWatch
listing.

BRHSCCB 07, BRHCCB 07U, BRHCCB 07-2U, BRHCCB08U, BRHCCB08-2U, and
BRHCCB08-3U. The mortgage pools consist of first-lien, fixed-rate
loans denominated in UDIS or Mexican Pesos and granted primarily
to low-income borrowers ("interes social").
In May and October 2009, the ratings of the affected certificates
were placed on review for possible downgrade as a result of
concerns about the accuracy and consistency of the reported
delinquency percentages in Su Casita's monthly servicing reports.
With the rating action, none of Su Casita's Moody's-rated domestic
RMBS remain on review for possible downgrade.
The confirmation is primarily based on the change in Su Casita's
procedure for calculating mortgage delinquencies, as recently
reported by the company to Moody's and also during its third
quarter 2009 financial results call. As a result of the change,
starting in February 2009 a loan is considered one month past due
if the borrower's monthly payment is not received by the last day
of the payment period, which is also the cut-off date for Su
Casita's monthly servicing reports. Prior to February 2009, a
loan was considered one month past due if the monthly payment was
not received by the first day after the last day of the payment
period. As a result, under the former delinquency reporting
method the loan would not be considered one month past due until
the following month and servicing report. In summary, Su Casita's
revised calculation method recognizes delinquencies sooner as
compared to the former method, thereby explaining the sudden
deterioration in the "current" and other delinquency buckets
observed across Su Casita's February 2009 RMBS servicing reports
following the implementation of the new method.

***********
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
