ICBC ARGENTINA: Moody's Assigns Ba3 Rating to ARS300MM Notes
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Latin America assigned a Ba3 global local currency debt
rating to ICBC (Argentina) S.A.'s (ICBC) expected issuance of up
to ARS300 million, which will be due in 18 months under the bank's
$250 million medium-term note program. At the same time, Moody's
Latin America assigned a Aaa.ar national scale local currency debt
rating to the expected issuance.
The outlook for all ratings is negative, following the negative
outlook on the sovereign ratings.
The following ratings were assigned to ICBC S.A.'s expected
issuance under the debt program:
Expected Issuance of up to ARS300 million:
Ba3 Global Local Currency Debt Rating, negative outlook
Aaa.ar Argentina National Scale Local Currency Debt Rating,
negative outlook
RATINGS RATIONALE
Moody's explained that the local currency senior unsecured debt
rating derives from the bank's Ba3 global local currency deposit
rating. Moody's also noted that seniority was taken into
consideration in the assignment of the debt ratings.
The Ba3 global local currency deposit rating of ICBC incorporates
the bank's b3 standalone baseline credit assessment (BCA) and
Moody's assessment of a high probability of parental support to be
provided by its shareholder, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China
Ltd, rated Ba1 with stable outlook, in situation of stress. Such
assessment results in three notches of uplift from the BCA. The
standalone rating captures ICBC's well-defined footprint in the
corporate and retail banking segments, as well as its prudent risk
management practices, adequate capitalization and liquidity level,
and good profitability metrics, despite low quality efficiency
indicators. The ratings also incorporate the uncertainties of the
Argentinean operating environment.
ICBC is headquartered in Buenos Aires, with assets of ARS 24.81
billion and equity of ARS 2.9 billion as of September 2013.

MARFRIG ALIMENTOS: Marfrig Guidance Sees Positive Free Cash Flow
----------------------------------------------------------------
Paul Kiernan at Dow Jones Newswires reports that Marfrig Alimentos
SA said its free cash flow could turn positive this year, thanks
to a plan to roll over debt with national development bank BNDES.
Marfrig expects free cash flow, which is a measure of financial
performance after capital expenditures, to range between neutral
and BRL100 million ($42 million) in 2014, up from a previous
forecast of zero to negative BRL150 million, according to Dow
Jones Newswires.
The report relates that the change came as Marfrig said it will
hold a board meeting to confirm the issuance of BRL2.15 billion in
three-year debentures later this month, with the proceeds to be
used to roll over existing debt with BNDES.
"The revision of the guidance for 2014 reflects the new schedule
of interest payments to debenture holders," Marfrig said, adding
that the first interest payment would take place in 2015, the
report notes.
The report discloses that BNDES owns nearly 20% of Marfrig's
shares and agreed to subscribe to the new debentures amid
discussions by the firm to sell its Seara Foods unit to domestic
rival JBS SA last year. The new debentures, like the old ones,
will be convertible to Marfrig stock, the report relays.
With chronically high debt levels and persistent net losses in
recent years, Marfrig's shares have struggled to find their
footing, falling 57% in the past 12 months to a Friday close of
BRL3.97, the report adds.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter - Latin America on
May 13, 2013, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its
global scale corporate credit rating to 'B' from 'B+' and its
national scale rating to 'brBBB-' from 'brBBB+' on Marfrig
Alimentos S.A. The outlook is negative.
OGX PETROLEO: To Pay Offshore Block Debt, Owner Says
----------------------------------------------------
Luciana Magalhaes at Dow Jones Newswires reports that Oleo e Gas
Participacoes SA, formerly known as OGX Petroleo e Gas
Participacoes SA -- the distressed oil companyof Brazilian
entrepreneur Eike Batista -- said it expects to honor payments for
work done at the BS-4 block, in Brazil's offshore Santos Basin,
despite its ongoing financial problems.
Oleo e Gas Participacoes owes around $30 million for its share of
work done at the BS-4 block and earlier last week was given 15
days to settle the debt, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
The report notes that OGP filed for bankruptcy protection in late
October and has struck a preliminary deal with creditors at the
end of December to exchange some $5.8 billion in debt for shares.
The deal also envisages the possibility that some creditors could
provide the firm more cash to meet its operating commitments and
OGP is banking on that extra capital to meet its BS-4 commitments,
the report relates.
So far, however, the company hasn't received any cash from its
creditors, the report discloses. Bondholders have until later
this month to make a decision on the investment, which would give
them control of Oleo e Gas, the report notes.
OGP holds a 40% stake in BS-4 block, while QGEP Participacoes
operates the block with 30% and closely held Barra Energia owns
the remaining 30%, the report adds.
About OGX Petroleo
Based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, OGX Petroleo e Gas Participaaoes
S.A. is an independent exploration and production company with
operations in Latin America.
OGX filed for bankruptcy in a business tribunal in Rio de Janeiro
on Oct. 30, 2013, case number 0377620-56.2013.8.19.0001. The
bankruptcy filing puts $3.6 billion of dollar bonds into default
in the largest corporate debt debacle on record in Latin America.
The filing by the oil company that transformed Eike Batista into
Brazil's richest man followed a 16-month decline that wiped out
more than $30 billion of his personal fortune.
The filing, which in Brazil is called a judicial recovery, follows
months of negotiations to restructure the dollar bonds, in which
OGX sought to convert debt to equity and secure as much as $500
million in new funds. OGX said Oct. 29 that the talks concluded
without an agreement. The company's cash fell to about $82 million
at the end of September, not enough to sustain operations further
than December.

CARIBBEAN DIVERSIFIED: Delays Filing of Financial Statements
------------------------------------------------------------
Caribbean Diversified Investments Inc. (formerly 0924885 B.C.
Ltd.) on Dec. 30 disclosed that there will be a delay in the
filing of its audited financial statements, MD&A and AIF for the
year ended August 31, 2013 which were due to be filed on or before
December 30, 2013, pursuant to relevant securities laws. The
delay is as a result of delays in the completion of a financing
transaction.
The Company said it intends to work diligently to file the
Financial Disclosure as soon as possible and it has applied for a
Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO") under National Policy 12-203
pending the filing of the Financial Disclosure on SEDAR. The
granting of an MCTO is at the discretion of the British Columbia
Securities Commission and there can be no guarantee that an MCTO
will be granted.
If an MCTO is granted under the Policy, it will be imposed against
some or all of the persons who have been directors, officers or
insiders of the Company instead of a cease trade order being
imposed against all securities of the Company. An MCTO would not
generally affect the ability of persons who have not been
directors, officers or insiders of the Company to trade the
securities of the Company pending the filing of the Financial
Disclosure on SEDAR.
If the MCTO is granted, the Company intends to satisfy the
provisions of the Alternate Information Guidelines as set out in
the Policy for as long as it remains in default, including the
issuance of bi-weekly default status reports, each of which will
be issued in the form of a press release.
The Company is confident that the Financial Disclosure will be
filed in the next 30 days.

PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA: Output Drops as Funds Slow to Arrive
------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Media reports that Venezuela's oil production slid for an
eighth consecutive month in December, a Bloomberg survey showed,
as delays obtaining external financing hamper efforts by Petroleos
de Venezuela SA to arrest production declines.
Venezuela produced 2.45 million barrels a day in December, down
235,000 barrels from November, according to a Bloomberg survey of
oil companies, producers and analysts. Monthly output has been
falling since April, the survey showed, according to Guardian
Media.
PDVSA's ability to offset output declines at mature fields and
invest in new developments is slowed by the state-run producer's
increasing financial commitments with the Venezuelan government
coupled with delays obtaining financing from partners, Carlos
Rossi, president of Caracas-based EnergyNomics, told the news
agency in a telephone interview on December 31.
"The economic situation in Venezuela is very bad and the non-
petroleum sector is in desperate need of dollars, causing PDVSA to
have to dedicate more money to the Venezuelan Central Bank," the
report quoted Mr. Rossi, who is also a former petroleum economist
with the Caracas-based Venezuelan Hydrocarbon Association, as
saying.
The country expects to increase production to six million barrels
a day by the end of 2019, of which four million will come from the
Orinoco heavy-oil belt, PDVSA said, the report notes.
Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. -- http://www.pdvsa.com/-- engages in
the exploration, production, refining, transport, and commerce of
hydrocarbons. The company was founded in 1975 and is based in
Caracas, Venezuela.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on Dec.
20, 2013, Moody's Investors Service downgraded the foreign
currency bond rating and global local currency rating of Petroleos
de Venezuela (PDVSA) to Caa1 from B2 and B1, respectively, and
maintained a negative outlook on the ratings. Moody's also
downgraded CITGO Petroleum Corporation's Corporate Family Rating
to B1 from Ba2; its Probability of Default rating to B1-PD from
Ba2-PD; and its senior secured ratings on term loans, notes and
industrial revenue bonds to B1, LGD3-43% from Ba2, LGD3-41%.
Moody's also assigned a rating of Ba3, LGD3-30% to CITGO's senior
secured bank credit facility. The rating outlook for CITGO is
negative. CITGO is PDVSA's wholly-owned US-based refining
subsidiary.

***********
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.
Submissions about insolvency-related conferences are encouraged.
