The outlook is stable. "At the same time, we affirmed our senior secured 'BBB' rating on the company's US$270 million notes guaranteed by its 99.97%- shareholding parent, Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion S.A. (ARAUCO; BBB/Stable/--)," S&P stated. "The 'BB-' corporate credit rating on Alto Paranareflects our belief that ARAUCO has sufficient economic incentives to support the subsidiary," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Luciano Gremone. "This is mainly because of its strategic importance as a significant foreign presence in Latin America." The company's 'b' stand-alone credit profile, in turn, reflects the inherent risks of operating in Argentina; the company's narrow, mostly commodity-oriented product mix; and its modest scale compared with rated peers. Alta Paran 's competitive cost position in forest management, pulp production, sawmill products, and panels partially mitigate these factors. "We assess the company's business risk profile as weak and its financial risk profile as aggressive," S&P noted. S&P continued, "Our local-currency rating on Alto Paranais two notches above that on the Republic of Argentina (B/Stable/B). This reflects our opinion that, in a severe sovereign default scenario, Alto Paranawould be able to generate sufficient local-currency resources to meet its financial obligations in both local and foreign currency, without the risk of direct sovereign intervention." "Our foreign currency rating on Alto Paranais also two notches above our foreign currency rating on Argentina and two notches above our transfer and convertibility risk assessment for the country, reflecting the company's partial insulation from risk," related S&P. "Mitigating factors include the formal guarantees the company has from ARAUCO, what we believe are strong incentives for the firm to continue paying its foreign debt even in a sovereign stress scenario, the company's substantial foreign-currency generation, and its extended debt maturity profile," added S&P. =========== B R A Z I L =========== MAGNESITA REFRATRIOS: S&P Affirms Corp. Credit Rating at 'BB-' -------------------------------------------------------------- Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its global scale outlook on Brazil-based refractory producer Magnesita Refratrios S.A. to positive from stable, while affirming the 'BB-' global scale ratings, including the corporate credit rating, on the company. "At the same time, we raised our Brazilian national scale ratings on Magnesita to 'brA+' from 'brA-'. The national scale outlook is positive," S&P stated. "The rating actions reflect Magnesita's improving credit metrics and strong liquidity, which we believe it will preserve," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Alvaro Nues. "We expect this, even assuming a more challenging operating environment based on a severe increase in raw material costs and fiercer competition, especially in its home market, Brazil." Magnesita's strong presence in the markets where it operates; privileged cost position arising from growing vertical integration into magnesite and graphite; and increasing geographic diversification as it explores synergies with acquired company LWB in Europe are also positive factors. "We believe these factors will help Magnesita sustain stronger profitability than competitors, report positive free operating cash flow, and sustain sound cash holdings," S&P stated. =========================== C A Y M A N I S L A N D S =========================== ACWA POWER: Members' Final Meeting Set for June 14 -------------------------------------------------- The members of Acwa Power Barka Holdings (Cayman) Ltd. will hold their final meeting on June 14, 2011, to receive the liquidator's report on the company's wind-up proceedings and property disposal.

Fitch has also affirmed Isagen's 'AA+(col)' long-term national scale rating and the COP$850.000 million local bonds issuance. The Rating Outlook is Stable. Isagen's ratings reflect the company's solid competitive position, its low marginal cost and robust portfolio of generation assets located throughout Colombia. The ratings also consider Isagen's strong cash flow generation and manageable liquidity, which provides the company with enough flexibility to undertake its aggressive growth strategy. The ratings incorporate Isagen's significant debt increase and the pressure on credit metrics during Sogamoso project's construction, as well as the company's moderate exposure to hydrology and regulatory risk. Fitch positively views Isagen's management's successful bid to secure Sogamoso's financial resources and to favorably negotiate contracts related to the development of Sogamoso. However, Fitch considers that uncertainty still remains regarding Sogamoso's timely start-up and the demand and energy prices' behavior at the time the project starts operations. Strong Business Position: Isagen is the third largest electricity generation company in Colombia based on installed capacity and energy generation. As of March 31, 2011, the company had 15% of Colombia's total installed generation capacity, and accounted for 17% of the country's total generation. Its strong business position is supported by low marginal costs and diversified portfolio of assets (86% hydro and 14% thermo). Although the company's generation is mainly hydrologic, its assets are somewhat geographically diverse and help to mitigate hydrology risks to some extent. Isagen's commercial strategy is solid and supportive of its business profile. The company's medium-term contracted position mitigates pronounced fluctuation in spot market prices and contributes to revenue stability and predictability. During 2010, the company has contracted 75.8% of its electricity generation with market participants and large customers for the next two to three years and it expects this ratio to increase to nearly 85% in the coming years. Sogamoso Project to Increase Leverage: Isagen's capital expenditure program is mainly underpinned by the construction of an 820 megawatt (MW) hydroelectric generation plant (Sogamoso) at an estimated cost of USD2.2 billion. Including Sogamoso, Isagen's installed capacity will increase to nearly 3,000 MW and the company's total energy generation would be around 14,500 GWh per year (currently, average energy generation is 9,500 GWh per year). Sogamoso is expected to start commercial operations by December 2013. The company plans to finance 60% of the project with on balance sheet debt, which will increase leverage to approximately 3.7 times (x) before the project starts commercial operations. This leverage has been incorporated into the assigned ratings. Last year, the company took important actions to partially mitigate some risks related to Sogamoso's development. However, given the magnitude of the project, inherent implementation risks still remain. Growing Cash Flow Generation Relieves Financial Profile to Execute Expansion Plan: Isagen has presented a sustained cash generation growth over the years, which gives the company some space to address its important investment program for 2011 - 2013. During the last twelve months (LTM) ended March 2011, Isagen presented USD401 million of EBITDA and 49.2% of EBITDA margin. These figures represent improvements from USD296 million of EBITDA and 45.2% of margin in 2009. Additionally, Isagen's cash flow from operations (CFO) of USD359 million for the LTM ended March 31, 2011 was increased by 21.8% from the USD257 million of CFO generated in 2009. Isagen's growth strategy includes investments for approximately USD2.5 billion to be financed by internal cash generation and debt. As of March 31, 2011, Isagen had USD836 million of total debt (USD473 million on Dec. 31, 2009) fully denominated in Colombian pesos and due between 2011 and 2025. Isagen's current credit metrics are considered strong for the rating category, yet they are expected to deteriorate as the company implements its aggressive growth strategy. As of March 31, 2011, the company reported a moderate leverage ratio, as measured by total debt-to- EBITDA of 2.1x. Interest coverage, as measured by EBITDA-to- Interest expense was solid as of the LTM ended March 31, 2011 at 8.3x. Robust Liquidity to Properly Support its Investment Plan: Isagen's liquidity is considered strong and it is supported by a strong cash flow from operations (of an average of USD313 million per year), manageable amortization schedule and committed facilities of USD788 million to fund the expansion plan. As of March 31, 2010, ISAGEN reported USD534 million of cash and marketable securities, which together with committed credit lines will allow the company to meet the USD16 million of short-term debt and the approximately USD594 million of 2011 capex program. =================================== D O M I N I C A N R E P U B L I C =================================== BANCO BHD: Fitch Affirms Issuer Default Ratings at 'B' ------------------------------------------------------ Effective May 27, 2011, Fitch Ratings affirmed the ratings of the Dominican-based Banco BHD (BHD) and its related entities BHD Valores Puesto de Bolsa (BHD Valores), Banco de Ahorro y Credito PyME BHD (PyME BHD), and the Panamanian-based BHD International Bank (BHDIB), as published previously in a Spanish rating action commentary. BHD's ratings reflect its sustained high profitability level, good liquidity and asset quality management, and sound capital base. A volatile operating environment and fierce competition remain the bank's main challenges to preserving its solid financial performance. An upgrade of the Dominican Republic's sovereign ratings could lead to an upgrade of BHD's long term IDR, if the bank preserves its overall financial performance as observed in recent years. By contrast, a revision of the sovereign's outlook to Stable or an unexpected material deterioration in the bank's asset quality or profitability could lead to a revision of the rating Outlook to Stable. BHD Valores, PyME BHD and BHDIB ratings reflect the operational and financial support provided by BHD and its sole shareholder Centro Financiero BHD (CFBHD). In Fitch's view, a clear commercial identification among these entities with BHD and CFBHD, and the reputation risk at which they would be exposed in the case of eventual troubles at these entities results in a high probability of direct or indirect support by BHD and CFBHD, should it be required. BHD is the third largest commercial bank in the Dominican Republic, with a 12.7% market share of total system assets as of December 2010. BHD is 98% owned by CFBHD and is its largest subsidiary, with about 89% of combined assets and 76% of net income before eliminations as of Dec. 2010. Other subsidiaries of CFBHD are BHD Valores (70% owned), a brokerage company with a growing investment banking business in the Dominican market; PyME BHD (100% owned), a bank specializing in small business loans in the Dominican Republic; BHDIB (100% owned) a bank which operates under an international license in Panama and offers USD denominated loans to Dominicans funded with deposits in the same currency; and other minor financial entities. CFBHD is owned by Grupo BHD and represents 100% of its consolidated assets. As of December 2010, a group of Dominican investors owned 51% of Grupo BHD; with 20% owned by Banco de Sabadell (long-term IDR of 'A'; Stable Outlook by Fitch), one of Spain's largest banking groups; 20% owned by Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (long-term IDR of 'BBB'; Stable Outlook by Fitch); and 9% owned by the IFC, a member of the World Bank Organization (long-term IDR of 'AAA'). Considering those factors, Fitch has affirmed these ratings: Banco BHD: -- Long-term foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) at 'B'; Positive Outlook; -- Short-term foreign and local currency rating at 'B'; -- Individual at 'D'; -- Support at '5'. --Support Floor at 'NF'. -- Long-term National rating at 'AA-(dom)'; Positive Outlook; -- Short-term National rating at 'F1+(dom)'; BHD Valores Puesto de Bolsa: -- Long-term National rating at 'AA-(dom)'; Positive Outlook; -- Short-term National rating at 'F1+(dom)'; -- Long-term National senior unsecured debt rating at 'AA- (dom)'. Banco de Ahorro y Credito PyME BHD: -- Long-term National rating at 'AA-(dom)'; Positive Outlook; -- Short-term National rating at 'F1+(dom)'; BHD International Bank: -- Long-term National rating at 'AA-(dom)'; Positive Outlook; -- Short-term National rating at 'F1+(dom)'; POPULAR BANK: Fitch Affirms National Rating at 'BB+(pan)' --------------------------------------------------------- Effective May 27, 2011, Fitch Ratings affirmed the ratings of Banco Popular Dominicano (BPD) and Popular Bank Ltd. Inc (PB), as published previously in a Spanish rating action commentary. On the same day, Fitch assigned PB's Dominican Republic national ratings. BPD's ratings reflect its strong franchise within the Dominican financial system, adequate asset quality supported by a conservative risk culture, and stable profitability. The ratings also incorporate the bank's challenges to enhancing efficiency and strengthening capitalization. An upgrade of the Dominican Republic's sovereign ratings could lead to an upgrade of BPD's long-term national rating if the bank preserves its overall financial performance. By contrast, a revision of the sovereign's outlook to Stable or an unexpected deterioration of the bank's asset quality and profitability that hinders its Fitch eligible capital ratio below 10% could change the rating Outlook to Stable. BPD's long-term national subordinated debt rating in the Dominican Republic is two notches below its long-term national rating due to its subordination with respect to the bank's privileged liabilities of first and second degree. PB's national ratings reflect the operational and financial support provided by BPD and its sole shareholder Grupo Popular, S.A. (GPSA), which also owns 98.5% of BPD. In Fitch's view, a clear commercial identification between PB with BPD and GPSA, and the reputation risk at which they would be exposed in case of eventual troubles of PB results in a high probability of direct or indirect support, should it be required. BPD is the largest private bank in the Dominican Republic, with a significant market share of 23% in terms of total assets at end 2010. BPD is the main subsidiary of GPSA, a holding company for mostly financial subsidiaries in the Dominican Republic, Panama, and the U.S. with consolidated assets of more than USD5.9bn at end 2010. PB operates under an international license in Panama. The bank is a fully owned subsidiary of GPSA, which is the largest financial conglomerate in the Dominican Republic. PB's target market is the Dominican corporate segment, to which it offers USD denominated loans funded with deposits in the same currency. Considering those factors, Fitch has taken these rating actions: Banco Popular Dominicano S.A. Banco Multiple (BPD) -- Long-term National rating in the Dominican Republic affirmed at 'AA-(dom)'; Outlook Positive; -- Short-term National rating in the Dominican Republic affirmed at 'F-1+(dom)'; -- Long-term National subordinated debt rating in the Dominican Republic affirmed at 'A(dom)'. Popular Bank Ltd. Inc (PB): -- Long-term National rating in Panama affirmed at 'BB+(pan)'; Outlook Positive; -- Short-term National rating in Panama affirmed at 'B(pan)'. -- Long-term National rating in the Dominican Republic assigned at 'AA-(dom)'; Outlook Positive; -- Short-term National rating in the Dominican Republic assigned at 'F-1+(dom)'. ===================== P U E R T O R I C O ===================== * PUERTO RICO: Bankruptcies Dip, Debt Surges -------------------------------------------- Kevin Mead at Caribbean Business reports that bankruptcy filings are down slightly so far this year, but the debt associated with them has skyrocketed. Bankruptcy filings were down across the board in May, representing a second straight monthly drop, the Puerto Rico Boletin, a local bankruptcy data-gathering service, reported, according to Caribbean Business. Caribbean Business notes that the 970 bankruptcy cases lodged last month brought the total to 4,709 for the year, a 3% drop compared to the first five months of 2010. Caribbean Business relates that Chapter 7 (liquidation) filings totaled 328 cases in May, a 14% drop from the same month in 2010. Puerto Rico Boletin said Chapter 7 cases reached 1,588 for the first five months of 2011, the report says. Caribbean Business discloses that Chapter 13 (repayment plan for individuals) totaled 623 cases in May, a decrease of more than 12 percent compared to the same month last year. The report relates that the personal bankruptcy cases totaled 3,025 for the first five months of 2011. The report also discloses that the 19 Chapter 11 (reorganization) filings in May represented a 32 percent decrease over last year. Caribbean Business notes that the 83 Chapter 11 filings in the first five months of 2011 represent a 9% decrease over the same period last year. Caribbean Business says there were no Chapter 12 (reorganization for farmers) cases filed in May, compared to four during the same month last year. Agricultural filings totaled 13 for the year, four less than registered during the first four months of 2010, the report relates. Still, the debt associated with bankruptcies is far higher so far this year, according to Puerto Rico Boletin numbers through April, Caribbean Business states. Caribbean Business notes that the 913 bankruptcies in April was 11% less than the same month in 2010. However, Caribbean Business says, total debt associated with bankruptcies for the fourth-month period through April reached $805 million, 73.5% more than the $463.8 million registered in the same period of 2010. Bankruptcy filings by developers and construction companies have been the biggest factor in the surging secured and unsecured debt numbers, accounting for 36% of business debt and 27% of overall debt, the Puerto Rico Boletin reported through April, Caribbean Business notes. The report relates that some 37% of all debt stems from the 15 largest commercial bankruptcy filings. Unsecured debt shot up by 79% to $349.7 million through April. Secured debt totaled $446.6 million, a 71% increase; while priority debt rose 12.4% to $8.6 million, Caribbean Business adds. Commercial bankruptcies totaled 284 through April, 32% more than the 215 lodged in the first four months of 2010, Caribbean Business notes. The report relates that total debt of individuals reached $354.3 million through April -- $228.5 million of which was secured and $122.4 million unsecured. Caribbean Business says that total debt of businesses topped $450.7 million through April, a surge of 244 percent over the first four months of 2010. Secured debt accounted for $218.1 million, while unsecured debt reached $227.2 million, Caribbean Business adds. Caribbean Business discloses that the biggest 15 commercial filings so far this year were: -- Uranus Development LLC ($51 million); -- Four Lions Corp. ($37.8 million); -- San Juan Bautista Hospital ($35.2 million); -- David Efron ($34.9 million); -- Farmacias El Amal ($29.2 million); -- Enrique Luigi Sanchez ($17.6 million); -- Junco Steel ($16 million); -- Pedro Zengotita Pacheco ($15.8 million); -- Rodriguez Investment ($14.4 million); -- Miramar Real Estate Management ($13.4 million); -- Blanco Velez Stores ($8.3 million); -- Industrias Areneras B&M ($7.8 million); -- Immobliaria La Sierra Corp. ($5.2 million); -- La Cima Hotel & Suites ($5.4 million); and -- Juan Rodriguez Hernandez ($3.3 million). The 12 municipalities with the most commercial bankruptcy filings through April were: -- San Juan (56, +55 percent); -- Caguas (21, +31 percent); -- Bayamon (18, +125 percent); -- Mayaguez (11, +120 percent); -- Guaynabo (8, +60 percent); -- Ponce (8, -39 percent); -- Aguadilla (7, +74 percent); -- Vega Baja (6, +20 percent), -- Cabo Rojo (6, +50 percent); -- Cayey (5, 0 percent); -- Arecibo (4, -60 percent); and -- Barceloneta (3, +33 percent).

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.
