ANTIGUA & BARBUDA: Gonzalo Affects Sembcorp's Water Supply to APUA
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Daily Observer reports that an explanation has been given for
why public water, which has been rationed for over a year now, has
been even scarcer lately.
It comes from the private desalination firm, Sembcorp, which
currently provides about 65 per cent of the nation's water supply,
according to The Daily Observer.
The report notes that the firm said it took a 20 per cent hit on
production levels after the passage of Tropical Storm Gonzalo on
October 13.
It said it has been unable to produce as much water as usual
because of the disruption in power supplies following the storm,
the report relates.
The report discloses that Sembcorp said production levels have
since increased to 85 per cent and will return to maximum once the
Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) fully restores power.
The government, via APUA, has recently been buying all the water
Sembcorp can produce to help ease a water shortage created by a
prolonged drought, and according to some experts, a long term
failure to invest in upgrading the nation's water infrastructure,
the report notes.
Meanwhile, Sembcorp said APUA has reduced its debt to the water
producing company by around 9 per cent and urged the government to
go further towards eradicating all outstanding payments, the
report adds.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
September 23, 2014, The Daily Observer said that Antigua & Barbuda
could soon find itself in the company of Japan, Zimbabwe, and
Greece, the countries with the highest national debts.
In the January 2014 budget presentation, the former administration
indicated that the nation's debt was 87 per cent of GDP, according
to The Daily Observer. However, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has
disputed the figure, deeming it to be as high as 130 per cent, the
report noted.
Minister Browne said while his government's increased borrowing is
pushing up the nation's debt-to-GDP ratio, it is necessary to
solve the country's problems, the report related.

EDENOR S.A.: General Extraordinary Meeting Scheduled for Nov. 18
----------------------------------------------------------------
Edenor S.A.'s Board of Directors had resolved to convene a general
extraordinary shareholders' meeting on Nov. 18, 2014, at 10:00
a.m. at the Company's corporate office at Avenida del Libertador
6363, Ground Floor, City of Buenos Aires.
At the Board Meeting held on Oct. 16, 2014, the Chairman explained
the need to call the Extraordinary Meeting to consider the three-
year extension of the holding period of 9,412,500 Class B treasury
shares, which represent 1.03% of the capital stock, in order to
avoid the capital reduction and frame a proposal for their use.
The Company's Board also ratified the loan for consumption and
collateral assignment of claims agreement entered into by and
between EDENOR and CAMMESA to fund the works intended to extend
and maintain the power distribution network, in accordance with
the provisions of ES Resolution No.65/2014, which agreement is in
addition to the loan for consumption also executed with CAMMESA to
cover the salary increases provided for by Secretary of Labor
Resolution No. 836/2014.
About Edenor SA
Headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Edenor S.A. (NYSE: EDN;
Buenos Aires Stock Exchange: EDN) is the largest electricity
distribution company in Argentina in terms of number of customers
and electricity sold (both in GWh and Pesos). Through a
concession, Edenor distributes electricity exclusively to the
northwestern zone of the greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area
and the northern part of the city of Buenos Aires.
Edenor SA reported profit of ARS 772.7 million on ARS 3.44 billion
of revenue from sales for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, as
compared with a loss of ARS 1.01 billion on ARS 2.97 billion of
revenue from sales in 2012. Edenor reported a net loss of
ARS 291.38 million in 2011.
The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2014, showed ARS7.40
billion in total assets, ARS6.95 billion in total liabilities and
ARS453.50 million in total equity.
"Given the fact that the realization of the projected measures to
revert the manifested negative trend depends, among other factors,
on the occurrence of certain events that are not under the
Company's control, such as the requested electricity rate
increases, the Board of Directors has raised substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the
term of the next fiscal year, being obliged to defer certain
payment obligations, as previously mentioned, or unable to meet
expectations for salary increases or the increases recorded in
third-party costs," the Company stated in its quarterly report for
the period ended June 30, 2014.
TELECOM ARGENTINA: Telecom Italia Gives Fintech 30 Months
---------------------------------------------------------
Daniele Lepido at Bloomberg News reports that Telecom Italia SpA
agreed to give Mexican financier David Martinez 30 months to
complete a purchase of a stake in Telecom Argentina SA that has
failed to win regulatory approval in almost a year.
Martinez's Fintech Group, which agreed in November last year to
acquire Telecom Italia's 22.7 percent indirect stake in Telecom
Argentina for US$960 million, had already received two extensions
of a deadline to close the deal, the most recent one of which
expired Oct. 24, according to Bloomberg News. The value of the
transaction remains unchanged, Telecom Italia said in a statement.
Bloomberg News notes that the sale is a component of Chief
Executive Officer Marco Patuano's strategic plan to cut Telecom
Italia's US$35 billion in debt and to restore the carrier's
investment grade. Mr. Patuano, who took over a year ago, is
seeking to focus on Telecom Italia's home market and on Brazil,
where it controls the country's second-largest wireless carrier
Tim Participacoes SA, Bloomberg News relays.
Telecom Italia said it has received a pledge of collateral with a
value of US$600.6 million from Fintech, Bloomberg News discloses.
The pledge will increase Milan-based Telecom Italia's liquidity,
without changing its net financial position, Bloomberg News
relays.
Bloomberg News says that the new terms aren't beneficial for
Telecom Italia as the price doesn't increase even though
completion is delayed, said Francesco Vatalaro, a professor of
telecommunications at Tor Vergata University in Rome. The
collateral pledge is "the minimum required if you concede to your
buyer two and half more years to complete a deal that has been on
hold for almost one year," Bloomberg News quoted Mr. Vatalaro as
saying.
Another Buyer?
Of the total deal price, Fintech has already paid US$113.7
million. It is expected to pay a further US$215.7 million by the
end of October for 17 percent of Sofora Telecomunicaciones SA, the
company that controls Telecom Argentina, Telecom Italia said,
Bloomberg News notes.
The remainder, for a further 51 percent stake in Sofora, will be
paid once Fintech has obtained regulatory approval, Bloomberg News
discloses. If Fintech fails to do so during the 30-month period,
Telecom Italia can choose to seek another buyer for that 51
percent stake, Bloomberg News relays.
Bloomberg News says that if Telecom Italia can't complete a sale
to another buyer within a further 30 months, the agreement with
Fintech will be terminated. In that case, Fintech will pay
Telecom Italia US$175 million in compensation and Telecom Italia
gets an option to buy back Sofora shares bought by Fintech,
Bloomberg News adds.

MMX SUDESTE: Court Approves Bankruptcy Bid
------------------------------------------
Anthony Boadle at Bloomberg News report that a Brazilian court has
approved a bankruptcy protection petition filed by MMX Sudeste
Mineracao SA, an iron-ore mining company controlled by Brazilian
tycoon Eike Batista, the company said in a securities filing.
It was the third time in a year that a unit of the former
billionaire's EBX industrial group has sought protection from
creditors, according to Bloomberg News. The decision was taken by
a court in Belo Horizonte in the Minas Gerais state, the report
relates.
MMX Sudeste made the request after negotiations with creditors and
efforts to seek new investors failed, MMX said in a filing on Oct.
15, the report notes.
MMX Sudeste holds nearly all the significant assets of Batista's
MMX Mineracao e Metalicos SA, part of an EBX mining, oil, energy,
shipbuilding and port group that suffered a spectacular collapse
in 2013, the report discloses.
Reuters note that the MMX Sudeste petition will probably determine
if parent MMX can continue as a viable company. Delays in
developing MMX iron ore mines in Minas Gerais and an iron ore
terminal near Rio de Janeiro have crimped MMX revenue while
increasing debt, the report says.
The report discloses that the move comes as a decade-long
commodities boom ends. The price of iron ore has fallen to around
its lowest level in five years as China's economy weakens and
demand for minerals drops, the report adds.
MMX Mineracao e Metalicos S.A., together with its subsidiaries, is
engaged in the extraction, processing, research, and development
of minerals in Brazil.
BRAZIL: IDB OKs US$125MM Loan for Water & Sanitation Services
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has approved a US$125
million loan to Brazil to support infrastructure and reforms aimed
at improving water and sanitation services and extending their
coverage to thousands of people in the city of Belem.
The Basic Sanitation Program of the Estrada Nova Basin (PROMABEN
II) complements and completes the public works projects included
in PROMABEN I, a program of multiple works involving urban
drainage, highway and sanitary infrastructure and social and
institutional sustainability.
The new plan features the upgrading and/or construction of
drainage systems, drinking water supplies, collection and disposal
of waste water, construction and improvement of access roads,
activities related to health and environmental education,
regulation of land ownership, adoption of adequate housing
solutions, tropical disease control and increasing the operational
and management capacity of the institutions invovled in the
program as well as the operation and maintenance of the public
works.
Among other goals, the program is expected to provide 9,500 homes
with direct sewage pipes, while 3,900 will get new drinking water
plumbing. Another 14,000 will enjoy improved services.
The new loan over 25 years has an interest rate based on and a
grace period of 5.5 years.

ATLAS FINANCIAL: A.M. Best Puts Units' 'bb' ICR on Review
---------------------------------------------------------
A.M. Best Co. has placed under review with negative implications
the financial strength rating of B (Fair) and the issuer credit
ratings (ICR) of "bb" of American Service Insurance Company, Inc.,
American Country Insurance Company (both domiciled in Elk Grove
Village, IL) and Gateway Insurance Company (St. Louis, MO),
subsidiaries of Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (Atlas) (Cayman
Islands) [NASDAQ: AFH]. These companies operate under an
intercompany reinsurance pooling agreement and are collectively
referred to as American Service Pool. A.M. Best also has placed
under review with negative implications the ICR of "b-" of Atlas.
The rating actions follow disclosure of a definitive agreement
under which Atlas will acquire Global Liberty Insurance Company of
New York (Global) (Melville, NY), along with its affiliated
underwriting and premium finance companies for approximately $25
million. The transaction was funded largely with cash at Atlas,
with financial leverage post-close expected to remain modest.
This transaction is expected to significantly accelerate Atlas'
commercial automobile presence in select sub-segments of the large
New York livery market and will add valuable infrastructure on the
East Coast to support Atlas' continuing growth. A.M. Best
anticipates that Global will not become a member of Atlas'
existing reinsurance pooling agreement, and that Atlas will
maintain Global's local infrastructure and have it serve as an
East Coast regional office of Atlas.
The negative implications reflect the inherent risks associated
with integrating Global into Atlas' ongoing operations and the
uncertainties associated with Global's recent deterioration in its
operating results and risk-adjusted capital. These concerns are
somewhat elevated by the significant growth at American Service
Pool as it continues to execute its strategy of recapturing former
risks lost as a result of actions and decisions made by prior
ownership. Growth at American Service Pool has also been driven
more recently by firming market conditions in the pool's core
light commercial automobile sector, namely taxi, limo and
paratransit classes. Although the pool has reported improved
underwriting and operating results over the past few years, growth
in premium volume has strained the pool's risk-adjusted capital.
The ratings will remain under review pending the close of the
transaction and discussions with management regarding the impact
the transaction will have on Global and Atlas' current operating
companies. The transaction is expected to close in the first
quarter of 2015, subject to customary closing conditions,
including regulatory approval of the change in control of Global.

REPUBLIC OF GUATEMALA: S&P Affirms 'BB' Sr. Unsecured Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it affirmed its
'BB/B' foreign-currency and 'BB+/B' local-currency sovereign
credit ratings on the Republic of Guatemala. The outlook remains
stable, and the transfer and convertibility assessment is
unchanged at 'BBB-'.
RATIONALE
The ratings on Guatemala reflect its weak economy, high poverty
level, and fragmented political system, which has been unable to
implement the policies and obtain the resources needed for rapid
economic growth. The country's per capita GDP growth has been
0.9% in the last three years and will likely be 1.4% in 2014. In
addition, income per capita is projected to be only $3,600 in
2014. The rating also reflects Guatemala's stable monetary
policy, manageable external deficits, and moderate government debt
burden.
S&P expects that the government will make only limited progress in
building physical infrastructure and improving social conditions
in the run up to national elections in 2015, constraining
Guatemala's long-term growth prospects. For 2014 to 2016, S&P
forecasts average GDP growth of 3.6%, similar to the rate in
previous years and higher than that of some of its regional peers.
Nevertheless, S&P expects GDP per capita to grow about 1.2%
annually on average over this period, though it will remain below
US$4,000.
The country's long-term development depends on the ability of the
government and private sector to reach a consensus on measures to
increase general government revenues from their current 12% of
GDP, one of the lowest of the sovereigns S&P rates. Low revenues
have constrained the government's ability to provide basic public
services and make public investment in infrastructure without
incurring large fiscal deficits. Higher revenues could come from
tax reform and through organizational changes to strengthen the
country's tax collection authority (SAT). Administrative
weaknesses contributed to diluting the impact of an earlier tax
reform undertaken in 2012.
Guatemala faces pressure for higher public spending due to high
poverty levels (about 54% of the total population), deteriorating
physical infrastructure, drug-related organized crime, and
generally high levels of violence. Failure to develop an
effective strategy against such challenges would constrain the
country's long-term growth prospects.
"We expect that Guatemala will maintain stable fiscal and monetary
policies over the next three years, despite Congressional and
presidential elections in 2015. Candidates from different
political parties have won each of the last four presidential
elections while maintaining stability in economic policies. We
expect that the consensus in favor of stable fiscal and monetary
policies within the political leadership and the country's
influential business community should remain after the elections.
We forecast the general government deficit to be about 2.3%-2.5%
in 2014-2016. If Congress fails to approve the 2015 budget, these
deficits might be slightly lower (as was the case in 2013), as the
government would operate with the previous budget. Moderate
fiscal deficits should keep general government debt below 23% of
GDP (close to 200% of revenues) until 2016 if tax collection
remains weak and if there is no fiscal reform," S&P said.
"In the external sector, we project current account deficits of
about 3% of GDP annually for 2014-2016, largely funded by foreign
direct investment (FDI), which could reach 2.3% of GDP. We base
our current account forecast on the positive trend of rising
remittances--up 9% this year--and an estimated 10% growth in
exports. The expected growth in current account receipts (CAR) is
linked to improved performance of the U.S. economy, Guatemala's
main trading partner and the destination of about 40% of its
exports. Remittances would continue to constitute about 10% of
the country's GDP over the medium term. There are shortcomings in
Guatemala's external data, reflected in important errors and
omissions in the balance of payments," S&P added.
Apart from the vulnerability to U.S. economic performance,
Guatemala is also vulnerable to external shocks, despite its
moderate external liquidity and debt. About 50% of its total debt
is denominated in foreign currency, and S&P estimates gross
external financing needs to remain close to 95% of CAR plus usable
reserves and external debt net of official reserves and financial
sector assets to average 28% of CAR in 2014-2016. A tightening of
the U.S. monetary policy could reduce the fund availability and
increase the government's cost of borrowing over the next couple
of years.
S&P don't expect significant changes in monetary policy over the
next three years, reflecting the country's tradition of continuity
and stability at the central bank. S&P projects inflation to
fluctuate within the current target of 4% (plus/minus 1%) through
the end of this year and over the next two years. In addition,
S&P expects foreign exchange reserves to remain at about 4.5
months of current account payments.
OUTLOOK
The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation of continuity in
fiscal and monetary policy after the 2015 national elections.
Guatemala is likely to maintain moderate fiscal and external
deficits and low inflation. S&P also expects that limited fiscal
flexibility will constrain the ability of the next administration
to improve Guatemala's low growth prospects, meet it immense
social needs, and grapple with its security challenges.
S&P could raise the ratings if the government is able to propose
and implement a reform agenda that strengthens Guatemala's public
institutions, reduces the level of insecurity and violence, and
bolsters its GDP growth prospects. Stronger growth, along with
more fiscal resources, would alleviate poverty and gradually
improve the sovereign's economic profile.
Alternatively, S&P could lower the ratings if greater political
polarization, deterioration in public security, or wider external
or fiscal deficits threaten to undermine economic stability.
In accordance with S&P's relevant policies and procedures, the
Rating Committee was composed of analysts that are qualified to
vote in the committee, with sufficient experience to convey the
appropriate level of knowledge and understanding of the
methodology applicable. At the onset of the committee, the chair
confirmed that the information provided to the Rating Committee by
the primary analyst had been distributed in a timely manner and
was sufficient for Committee members to make an informed decision.
After the primary analyst gave opening remarks and explained the
recommendation, the Committee discussed key rating factors and
critical issues in accordance with the relevant criteria.
Qualitative and quantitative risk factors were considered and
discussed, looking at track-record and forecasts.
The committee agreed that "key rating factor" had
improved/deteriorated and that the "key rating factor" had
improved/deteriorated. All other key rating factors were
unchanged.
The chair ensured every voting member was given the opportunity to
articulate his/her opinion. The chair or designee reviewed the
draft report to ensure consistency with the Committee decision.
The views and the decision of the rating committee are summarized
in the rationale and outlook. The weighting of all rating factors
is described in the methodology used in this rating action.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Manufacturers to Hold Meeting on Price Concerns
------------------------------------------------------------------
Verne Burnett at Trinidad and Tobago Newsday reports that local
food manufacturers have scheduled a meeting on Nov. 7 at Nutrimix
Flour Mills, Point Lisas, to discuss their concern over the
government's offer of a 20 percent discount on flour, rice and
cooking oil produced by the State-owned National Flour Mills
Limited.
Thirteen companies signed a petition on October 7, 2014, to Prime
Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar expressing their "deep concern" at
government's continued use of the company in offering discounts of
foodstuff to consumers for Eid Ul Fitr, Emancipation and Divali,
according to Trinidad and Tobago Newsday.
The Prime Minister announced the discounts on October 18, 2014,
while addressing Divali celebrations at her Siparia constituency
office in Penal, notes the report.
The report says Minister Persad-Bissessar said it would apply to 2
KG and 10 KG packages of IBIS Brand All purpose Flour; 2 KG and 10
KG packages of Hibiscus brand all purpose flour; 2KG and 10 KG
Lotus brand all purpose, whole wheat, bakers and Cake flour; 2KG
and 10 KG Five Roses brand of all purpose flour; all sizes of
Lotus brand Soya Bean Oil and all sizes of Lotus brand Rice; 2 KG
Cuisine brand all purpose flour and 10 KG Club Select all Purpose
flour. She said the discounts would last until Divali.
The report relays that the petition by the food manufacturers said
that while the initiative would have created tremendous temporary
relief to consumers and gained much popularity for the government,
private manufacturing and distribution sectors have repeatedly
suffered significant negative consequences, losses and disruption
to their businesses.
The petition complained that the private manufacturing and
distribution sectors have never been consulted or invited to
partner and or take part in these festival discounts, the report
notes. "We are also of the opinion that it is inappropriate for
any government using taxpayers funds' to induce consumers to buy
specific brands of discounted products produced by a State
enterprise," the petition said, the report relays.
The manufacturers are calling on the government to either extend
the facility to them also that consumers can benefit from their
products as well or else discontinue what they consider an "unfair
trading practice and competition policy," the report adds.

CITGO PETROLEUM: Venezuela Scraps Plans to Sell Firm
----------------------------------------------------
Nathan Crooks and Pietro D. Pitts at Bloomberg News report that
Venezuela shelved a planned sale of about US$10 billion in U.S.
refineries as surging North American crude output pushes down
energy prices and profit margins.
The country ruled out selling its U.S.-based refining subsidiary
Citgo Petroleum Corp., Finance Minister Rodolfo Marco Torres told
Caracas-based El Universal in an interview, according to Bloomberg
News. The nation will keep investing in Citgo, Mr. Torres said,
echoing comments made by President Nicolas Maduro last month.
Bloomberg News notes that Citgo said in a July 29 filing that
state-owned oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA was looking for
a buyer, threatening to undermine bondholders and other creditors
by removing a sovereign asset that could be seized in the U.S. in
the event of a default. Former Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said
in August that Citgo was worth at least US$10 billion, while
Barclays Plc said last month that the company's equity value is
between US$7 billion and US$9 billion, Bloomberg News notes.
"Refining margins have fallen and we have seen some of the Citgo
refineries involved in unscheduled downtime," Andy Lipow,
president of Houston-based energy consultant Lipow Oil Associates
LLC, told Bloomberg News in a telephone interview on Oct. 24.
"Those are issues more on the minds of potential buyers than the
price of oil," Mr. Lipow added.
West Texas Intermediate for December delivery fell close to a two-
year low of $81.01 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on
Oct. 24, Bloomberg News relays.
Bond Market
The sale of Citgo could have undermined PDVSA's cash flow in the
medium term and cost it market leverage in the U.S., Eurasia Group
analyst Risa Grais-Targow said in an interview from Washington on
Oct. 17, Bloomberg News says.
Venezuela's dollar bonds posted the best week in six months after
President Maduro fueled speculation that the sale wouldn't go
through when he said on Sept. 23 that his government would
strengthen the refining company, Bloomberg News notes.
The country has started talks with Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) after a
World Bank arbitration court ruled earlier this month that the
country must pay the company US$1.6 billion for assets seized in
2007, Marco Torres told El Universal, Bloomberg News notes. The
country will make payments after it sets a schedule with Exxon,
Mr. Torres told the newspaper.
No Trouble
Bloomberg News says that President Maduro on Oct. 22 blamed
foreign media for spreading fears that falling oil prices would
push the country closer toward defaulting on its foreign debt.
Yields on its benchmark dollar bonds due in 2027 hit a five-year
high of 17.88 percent on Oct. 15 after Harvard University
economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff said the country
probably would default, Bloomberg News relays.
Venezuela on Oct. 8 paid US$1.56 billion of government bonds that
matured. PDVSA will not have trouble paying US$3 billion of bonds
that mature today, Oct. 28, Mr. Torres told El Universal,
Bloomberg News notes.
An off-budget fund known as Fonden and loans from China will help
Venezuela manage lower oil prices, Marco Torres said in the
interview, adding that the country will be able to meet all of its
commitments, Bloomberg News relays. Venezuela's oil export basket
price fell to a four-year low of US$75.90 a barrel in the week
ended Oct. 24, according to the oil ministry, Bloomberg News
notes.
An adjustment to economic policies would be "unavoidable" at
current oil prices, Barclays Plc said in an Oct. 22 note to
clients, adding that the government could sell Citgo, reduce
subsidized oil shipments to Caribbean countries, devalue its
currency or renegotiate loans from China, Bloomberg News says.
Fight Inflation
Venezuela is continuing to review the domestic price of gasoline,
in addition to currency and fiscal policies, Mr. Torres said in
the interview with El Universal, adding that President Maduro has
the final say on any changes, Bloomberg News relays.
Former Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said in May the country's
policy of selling gasoline for US$0.06 a gallon, the cheapest in
the world, cost US$12 billion a year, Bloomberg News relays.
Marco Torres told El Universal that Venezuela was working to fight
inflation, currently the fastest in the world at 63 percent, and
increase national production, Bloomberg News notes. When asked by
the newspaper why the country had delayed reporting data on its
gross domestic product, he said the central bank was doing
excellent work and would continue to do so next year, Bloomberg
News adds.

***********
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.
