Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of Regions Financial

BANCO BVA: Fitch Assigns Issuer Default Rating at 'B-'
------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned these ratings to Banco BVA S.A.:

  -- Long-term foreign and local currency Issuer Default Rating
     'B-';

  -- Short-term foreign and local currency IDR 'B';

  -- National Long-term rating 'BB(bra)';

  -- National Short-term rating 'B(bra)';

  -- Support rating '5';

  -- Support rating floor 'NF';

  -- Individual rating: 'D/E'.

The Outlook on the long-term IDR and national rating is Stable.
BVA's ratings reflect its high leverage, considerable
concentration of assets and liabilities, the bank's overall
revenue generation dependency on credit origination, limited
product offer and regional concentration.  They also consider good
loan origination and monitoring policies, strong expertise over
its medium and small customer's portfolio and acceptable
liquidity.  BVA's focuses its activities on providing plain
vanilla credit facilities to middle market companies still under-
serviced by the country's largest banks, and with sales mainly
focused on the local market.

After tripling its credit portfolio to BRL1.6 billion in 2009,
BVA's loan portfolio remains concentrated, which is usual for mid
sized banks.  With 66% of loans maturing above one year, against a
peer average of 35%, BVA mitigates its less flexible assets
profile with an adequate risk control policy, which is applied
with rigor by experienced professionals.  After the recent strong
growth of the loan portfolio, asset quality metrics are still yet
to reflect the trends of a more seasoned loan portfolio; although,
Fitch considers that BVA current credit metrics as adequate; while
the proactive use of collateral (mainly receivables from
customers, equipments and land) may help to keep asset quality at
bay, a trend that may be verified during 2010 and 2011, when the
loan portfolio matures.

During the 2008 crisis, BVA managed to retain key depositors from
its concentrated base, tamed loan origination for some time, and
enhanced its liquidity expanding its deposits base.  With
approximately 77% of funding concentrated in time deposits (mainly
from corporate depositors), BVA also strongly benefited from the
creation of Deposit with Special Guarantee in April 2009, using
almost the entire regulatory issuance limit allowed for this
facility to help finance its 2009 credit growth.  In Fitch's
opinion, this poses a great threat to BVA, as the bank has low
room for further DPGE (designed to be used under stress scenarios)
issuance in case of a liquidity drought and its funding base is
concentrated.

Since 2007, BVA counts on a new shareholder and CEO, who has
reaffirmed the bank's focus on providing credit facilities to
middle market companies even though some BRL109 million capital
injections by both shareholders since 2007 helped improve BVA's
leverage (11.7% in FY09) in 2009, the bank's strategy is to
operate with close to regulatory Basel ratios.  Fitch considers
BVA's leverage strategy and business plan based on growth as
aggressive, also leading the bank to present a volatile
profitability.

September 1, 2009, Fitch Ratings has assigned the national long-
term debt rating of 'A+(bra)' to the proposed first simple

Laura Price at Bloomberg News reports that Gol Linhas Aereas
Inteligentes SA's first-quarter profit fell 61% to BRL23.9 million
(US$13.3 million) from BRL61.4 million a year earlier after a
decline in the real increased the value of its dollar-denominated
debt.  The report relates that net sales rose 14% to BRL1.73
billion in the quarter.

in the quarter after the U.S. dollar rose against the real.  The
report relates that a year earlier, it had an 86.1 million- real
gain.  Gol Linhas said it also paid 9.6% more income tax in the
quarter than a year earlier, the report says.

"The exchange variation generated an expense of BRL59 million,

on the company?s foreign currency debt," said the company in the
statement obtained by the news agency.

Gol Linhas, the report relates, had an operating margin of 11% in
the quarter from 6.9% a year earlier.  The margin on earnings

TAM SA: Completes Another Phase in Restructuring Process
--------------------------------------------------------
TAM S.A. has completed another phase in its organizational
restructuring, indicating its commitment to improving governance
and the creation of a large corporation with a focus on airline

Ricardo Froes comes to the company as the new vice president of

high performance.  We believe that culture is made with examples
and processes, and mainly focus on people," says Libano Barroso,
president of TAM Linhas Aereas.

The improvement of governance in the group, with the share of
responsibilities between new business development and airline
operations, was announced on March 31 this year, appointing the
executive Marco Antonio Bologna for the Presidency of the holding
TAM SA (Bovespa: TAMM4 and NYSE: TAM), responsible for the
business development group and its adjacent institutional
relationship.  Libano Barroso continues as President of TAM Linhas
Aereas, in charge of airline operations (passenger and cargo),
which include TAM Linhas Aereas, TAM Airlines (former TAM

AIR JAMAICA: 1,823 Workers Receive Their Cheques
------------------------------------------------
Finance Minister Audley Shaw dismissed reports that some Air
Jamaica Limited employees had not received their redundancy and
severance payments, Jamaica Observer reports.  The report relates
Mr. Shaw said that "cheques were issued to all 1,823 Air Jamaica
employees".

"We are extremely gratified that the requisite redundancy and
severance payments -- which approximated US$24 million -- were set
aside to meet those payments in a timely manner.  This Government
is also gratified that approximately 1,000 employees are being
rehired by Caribbean Airlines during the transition period," the
report quoted Mr. Shaw as saying.

The government, the report notes, indicated that all members of
staff of national carrier Air Jamaica, whose jobs were to be made
redundant, would receive their severance pay, totaling US$24
million.  The report notes that the move was a precursor to the
transition process for the divestment of the operations of the
national carrier to Trinidad and Tobago's Caribbean Airlines,
which took effect on May 1.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
January 27, 2010, Moody's Investors Service changed the ratings
outlook of Air Jamaica Limited to stable.  The Corporate Family
and senior unsecured ratings of Air Jamaica are affirmed at Caa1.
The change in outlook mirrors the change of the outlook of the
foreign currency bond rating of The Government of Jamaica to
stable, which occurred on January 22, 2010.  The ratings reflect
Jamaica's unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of the rated
debt obligations of Air Jamaica.  The foreign currency bond rating
of Jamaica remains Caa1, notwithstanding the January 22, 2010
downgrade of Jamaica's local currency bond rating by Moody's to
Caa2.

As reported in the TCR-LA on November 5, 2009, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said that it lowered its long-term corporate

AIR JAMAICA: JALPA Accuses New Owners of Victimization
------------------------------------------------------
The Jamaica Airline Pilots Association is adding to claims of
victimization of its members by the new owners of Air Jamaica
Limited, RadioJamaica reports.  The report relates that the
association believes its members have been shunned by the new
owners because of their recent bid to acquire Air Jamaica.

According to the report, JALPA -- which represents airline pilots
who were previously employed to Air Jamaica -- says the new owner
Air JamaicaCal Transition Ltd. did not offer new employment
contracts to members.  The report relates Executive Secretary of
JALPA, Maria Zaidie Haddad, said that members are upset that they
have been overlooked during Caribbean Airlines' recruiting program
in which one thousand workers were rehired.

Ms. Haddad, the report notes, said members of JALPA are far from
satisfied with the explanation given by the airline's new owners.
"The word they used was surplus.  They needed a certain number of
pilots about 77 and we had over 120 pilots so approximately 33
were not offered employment with the new Caribbean Airlines-Air
Jamaica group.  Of course all of those who were not offered were
expecting changes to some degree.  They are upset, some are
wondering why they were not called, was it performance based, was
it some other reason," the report quoted Mrs. Haddad as saying.

Mrs. Haddad, the report relates, said that it is widely suspected
that the recent acquisition bid may have been a deciding factor in
members not being offered re-employment.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Hugh Wildman, the court-appointed liquidator for Cash Plus
Limited, has again extended the time for former clients of the
collapsed investment scheme to make claims, RadioJamaica reports.
The report relates that investors can now bring in claims between
May 10 and May 21.

According to the report, Mr. Wildman said that the extension is
being granted because clients of Cash Plus are still complaining
that they missed previous deadlines.  The report relates Mr.
Wildman said that the exercise of calling in claimants is to
verify total claims on Cash Plus so that if and when money is
found for a payout, there will an accurate figure of the amount
owed.

The report notes that a significant development concerning a
possible pay out may be the source of the call for claimants, but
Mr. Wildman would not confirm this.  The report relates those
making claims on Cash Plus must do so with a completed Proof of
Debt form along with copies of Loan Agreements, a valid form of
identification and Tax Registration Number, TRN.

EUROBANCSHARES INC: To File Chapter 11 Following Bank Failure
-------------------------------------------------------------
Eurobancshares Inc., a San Juan, Puerto Rico-based bank holding
company, said in a regulatory filing that it will file under
Chapter 11 following the takeover of its bank subsidiary by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on April 30.

On April 30, Eurobank, the wholly owned subsidiary and principal
asset of EuroBancshares, was closed by the Office of the
Commissioner of Financial Institutions of Puerto Rico and the FDIC
was appointed as receiver of the Bank.  On the same date, the FDIC
transferred certain assets and liabilities of the Bank to Oriental
Bank & Trust, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Eurobancshares Inc. expects to commence a voluntary case under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico.

                       Event of Default

As of April 30, the Company had approximately $20.6 million in
floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures
outstanding pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 19,
2002, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National
Association (as successor to State Street Bank and Trust Company
of Connecticut, National Association), as trustee.  The debentures
were issued in connection with the issuance of $20.0 million of
related floating rate trust preferred securities of Eurobank
Statutory Trust II due in 2032 with a liquidation amount of $1,000
per security.  The April 30, 2010 appointment of the FDIC as
receiver constitutes an "Event of Default," under the Indenture.
Under the Indentures, an Event of Default occurs if, among other
things, the Company or any substantial part of its property,
including the Bank, is taken into possession by a receiver.
Subject to certain notice and waiting requirements set forth in
the Indenture, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
trustee or holders of not less than 25% in principal of the
outstanding unsecured subordinated notes of the debentures may
declare the entire principal, premium and any accrued unpaid
interest of the debentures immediately due and payable.

RESERVE INTERNATIONAL: BVI Liquidators Have No Power Over Fund
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Rochelle at Bloomberg News reports that U.S. District Judge
Paul G. Gardephe in New York ruled that Caribbean liquidators have
no right to participate in the U.S. liquidation of a fund that had
its assets and operations in the U.S. though the fund was
incorporated abroad.

According to Bloomberg News, the case involved Reserve
International Liquidity Fund Ltd., which was a "much smaller
sister fund of the Reserve Primary Fund."  The Reserve funds were
money-market funds driven out of business by their investments in
debt obligations owing by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

The report relates that although the Reserve International had
distributed most of its assets to investors, it commenced a
declaratory judgment action in U.S. district court in New York to
authorize distribution of remaining assets.  Investors in the
fund, who didn't like the proposed distribution scheme in the
U.S., initiated a liquidation in the British Virgins Islands,
where the fund was incorporated.  The BVI liquidators sought to
participate in the declaratory judgment action in Judge Gardephe's
court and contended they supplanted the fund's managers.

Judge Gardephe, according to Bloomberg News, disagreed, saying the
"liquidators do not have standing to assume the position of the
Fund's board in this action."  To have any authority to be heard
in a court in the U.S., Judge Gardephe ruled that the liquidators
were obliged to commence a Chapter 15 petition in a U.S.
bankruptcy court and have the proceedings in the BVI court
declared to be either a "foreign main" or "foreign non-main"
proceeding.

Judge Gardephe is allowing the declaratory judgment action to
proceed in New York and determine how the remaining assets should
be distributed to investors.

The case is Reserve International Liquidity Fund Ltd., 09-
9021, U.S. District Court, Southern District New York (Manhattan).

                    About Reserve Primary Fund

Managed by Reserve Management Company, Inc., the Reserve Primary
Fund is a large money market mutual fund that is currently in
liquidation.  On September 16, 2008, during the global financial
crisis, it lowered its share price below $1 because of exposure to
Lehman Brothers debt securities.  This resulted in demands from
investors to return their funds as the financial crisis mounted.
The Reserve had multiple other funds frozen because of this
failure.

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.
