CARTER HOLT: Hart Still 4.5% Shy of Takeover
--------------------------------------------
Tycoon Graeme Hart is still working hard to convince investors
to sell him their shares in New Zealand's Carter Holt Harvey,
Sydney Morning Herald relates.

Billionaire Mr. Hart is just 4.5 percent shy of achieving his 90
percent target needed to spark a compulsory takeover of all
minority shareholdings in Carter Holt.

However, a group of small shareholders refuse to accept the
NZ$2.50 a share offer almost five months after the NZ$3.3-
billion (AU$3.07 billion) takeover offer was announced. The
group believed Mr. Hart was attempting to "get them on the
cheap".

Other shareholders believe Mr. Hart's record at turning around
underperforming companies showed they stood to benefit from
retaining their stakes in a company in which the Kiwi
businessman had a significant interest.

Last week, Mr. Hart's investment vehicle, Rank Group, extended
for the fifth time its offer for Carter Holt until January 13.
But time is quickly running out as the offer can be extended
only until February.

EG GREEN: Creditors OK Takeover Offer, But Payment Drags
--------------------------------------------------------
Creditors of EG Green and Sons backed an offer by offshore funds
Stark Investments and Harmony Capital Partners to take control
of the ailing abattoir, but will have to wait until June to
receive any payment, The West Australian reports.

The Green family has withdrawn their deed of company
arrangement, paving the way for Stark-Harmony consortium to
launch its AU$26.6-million offer and eventually taking control
of the 86-year old business.

The offer covers the Harvey meatworks and associated assets.

Harmony Capital has not revealed details of its proposed new
management team for the business but managing director Suresh
Withana said Harmony had already identified a chief executive
and chief financial officer.

The sale of the business to the Harmony-Stark consortium will
settle by February 28, by which time Mr. Suresh said the new
management would be in place. A detailed statement on its plans
for the business would be released ahead of settlement but the
strategy was to invest in the operation and grow its capacity.

Meanwhile EG Green's administration under Martin Jones has
produced a good outcome for creditors, who are likely to receive
around 100 cents in the dollar.

EG Green collapsed in August with AU$73.7 million debt.
Insolvency specialist firm Ferrier Hodgson was called in to the
company under pressure from the meat processor's main banker,
National Australia Bank.

TT-LINE COMPANY: Spirit III Keeps Sailing on Rough Seas
-------------------------------------------------------
The State Government has won support from over half of
Tasmanians on its decision to keep TT-Line Company's troubled
ferry running, The Mercury has learned.

Around 53 percent of Tasmanians want Spirit of Tasmania III
retained on its three-times-a-week Sydney-Devonport run, despite
its mounting losses.

Support for the Sydney ferry, which lost NZ$28 million in the
last full year, is strongest in Tasmania's North. In Hobart,
however, more people believe the State Government should end the
losing Sydney-Devonport venture.

Premier Paul Lennon sided with majority of the Tasmanians and
decided to keep Spirit III running. He ignored strong advice
from his own treasury department that the Sydney ferry would
never be viable, was too expensive to operate and should be sold
before its losses brought down the entire TT-Line.

But Mr. Lennon insisted the tourism benefits brought to Tasmania
by Sydney passengers with their cars far outweighed the pure
profit-and-loss figures incurred by Spirit III.

VOLANTE GROUP: Hostile Takeover Hits Snag
-----------------------------------------
An attempted hostile takeover of Volante Group by Commander
Communications has suffered a major setback after a large
shareholder snubbed the offer at its present price, according to
the Sydney Morning Herald.

JM Financial Group stressed that Commander's AU$130-million
offer "highly undervalues" Volante.

JM Financial's comments came after Volante's other major
shareholder, Perpetual Trustees, hinted last month that
Commander might have to increase its offer before shareholders
accepted it. The bid is conditional on Commander and its
associates gaining at least 90 percent stake in Volante.

Volante issued an earnings downgrade in November when it said
first-half net profit was expected to drop by as much as 39
percent to between AU$2 million and AU$2.5 million.

Commander had pounced on Volante at a difficult time for the
company as it underwent a transition from selling hardware
towards a focus on IT services, JM Financial said.

Volante's board is yet to formally respond to the bid, but it
did issue a statement shortly after the takeover was launched
last month advising shareholders to take no action and saying
that the bid price represented only a modest premium.

takeover offer is available for downloading free of charge at

WATTYL LIMITED: Barloworld's Bid Still Uncertain
------------------------------------------------
South Africa's Barloworld Coatings is still vague about its
rumored counter-bid for beleaguered Australian paint maker
Wattyl Limited, The Age reveals.

Barloworld also seemed secretive about the dire financial state
of its Taubmans and Bristol paint operations in Australia.
Barloworld's Australian management declined to comment on
speculation the company obtained an emergency AU$1.4 million
loan last year to pay the wages of its employees.

On December 22, investment firm Allco Equity Partners made an
AU$275-million offer for Wattyl. Barloworld then appointed ANZ
Bank to review the terms of the Allco proposal and advise it on
alternatives.

Barloworld had held discussions with Wattyl before Allco's bid.
The speculation was that Barloworld was planning to sell
Taubmans to Wattyl.

Allco has tried to block the possibility of a Wattyl-Taubmans
merger. However, rumors abound that the Australian Competition
and Consumer Commission (ACCC) might approve a merger 10 years
on, given the dominance of hardware retailers such as Bunnings.

Meanwhile, the Wattyl board is set to meet today to discuss
about the AU$274.8-million bid made by Allco.

Wattyl Chief Executive John Nolan has provided strong hints he
will use his restructure of Wattyl as his main defense against
Allco's offer.

Just three weeks ago, Wattyl issued a statement saying how its
cost-cutting program was ahead of schedule.

PERTAMINA: Plans to Buy 800,000 Barrels of Fuel
-----------------------------------------------
In an update to a planned fuel purchase, state oil and gas firm
PT Pertamina seeks to buy an extra 800,000 barrels of gasoline
from the spot market this month, reports Dow Jones.

The Company had earlier stated that it was planning to buy
500,000 barrels of petroleum products due to a technical problem
at its Balongan refinery (reduced refinery capacity).

Instead, Pertamina will buy 300,000 more barrels of gasoline to
its planned 500,000 barrels, since repairs at its Central Java
refinery are expected to be finished next month.

Pertamina's marketing director Ari Sumarno announced that the
Company will buy the fuel from the spot market.

PERTAMINA: Seeks High Returns from Fuel Distribution
----------------------------------------------------
State oil firm PT Pertamina is seeking high revenues from fuel
distribution, as it has been appointed as the sole distributor
of subsidized fuel for 2006, the Jakarta Post reports.

The Company has asked for a pre-tax margin from IDR500 to IDR700
for every liter distributed nationwide. This is a significant
rise from a previous IDR25 fee that it gets under a cost-plus
fee mechanism, which is to be applied until Dec. 31, 2006.

According to the Downstream Oil & Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH
Migas) Chairman Tubagus Haryono, the rise in the premium
proposed by Pertamina indicates its request for a premium that
was 15% to 19% higher than Mid Oil Platts Singapore (MOPS)
prices (upon which fuel prices are based) in order to include
distribution and transportation costs.

Pertamina offers different margins for certain fuel types and
trading zones.

The margin has yet to be determined by the Minister of Energy &
Mineral Resources, who is currently reviewing Pertamina's
request together with the Ministry of Finance, in order to
consider the allotted IDR54.3 trillion state budget to subsidize
up to 41 million kiloliters of fuel.

At present, Pertamina is the only company ready to carry out the
new public service obligation, which requires that oil firms
must also distribute subsidized fuel outside of Java Island,
since foreign oil firms like Petronas Berhad and Royal Dutch
Shell have yet to build and operate fuel stations throughout the
country.

ABOITIZ TRANSPORT: Exempted from Registration Requirements
----------------------------------------------------------
Aboitiz Transport System (ATSC) Corporation (the Company)
advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Commission) has issued its resolution last Dec. 20, 2005 on our
application with them on the exemption from the registration
requirements for the Securities Regulation Code (the Code)
covering the Four Hundred Fourteen Million One Hundred Twenty-
One Thousand One Hundred Twenty-Three (414, 121,123) new common
shares to be issued and sold by the Company to Sixteen (16)
existing stockholders and Thirty-Seven (37) new investors on a
proposed restructuring through "Share Swap", out of the increase
in its authorized capital stock, at a transaction vale of
Php1.76 per share or a total of Php728,853,176.48.

The Commission in its Dec. 15, 2005 meeting resolved that the
registration of said securities is not necessary in the public
interest or for the protection of the investors and therefore
exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section
10.2 of the Code.

EXPORT AND INDUSTRY: PDIC Pitches Php6-Bln in Aid
-------------------------------------------------
Export and Industry Bank (Exportbank) is expected to receive
around Php6 billion from the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp.
(PDIC), according to BusinessWorld.

The state deposit insurer will be putting in Php600 million in
Exportbank every year for 10 years, in a bid to help the bank
clean up its balance sheet.

Exportbank reportedly needs financial assistance because it is
saddled with the Php10-billion nonperforming assets it inherited
from Urban Bank when the two banks merged in 2002.

The P600-million yearly aid is part of an agreement reached with
PDIC on Dec. 29, 2005.

Major stockholders of the bank also agreed to infuse Php3
billion to help the mid-size listed bank prepare for new
international accounting standards. This brought its authorized
capital stock to Php7.5 billion.

EXPORT AND INDUSTRY: To Boost Status Via Shares Offering
--------------------------------------------------------
Export and Industry Bank (Exportbank) wants to strengthen its
financial position by offering additional stocks, a source at
the bank told BusinessWorld.

The cash-strapped bank is reportedly planning to boost its
capitalization in line with the new International Accounting
Standards (IAS).

The insider said Exportbank is keen on selling more shares to
its foreign partner Lippo Bank of Hong Kong. The foreign bank is
prepared to put billions of pesos in order to ensure Exportbank
is IAS compliant.

Banks are required to follow the new standards when they prepare
their financial statements starting with fiscal year 2005.

Meanwhile, the bank did not hold its stockholders' meeting for
2005 as mandated by government regulatory agencies. It also
failed to submit for the past three quarters its statement of
condition to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Exportbank Chairman Sergio R. Ortiz Luis, Jr. said the required
documents will be submitted after the bank holds its annual
stockholders' meeting.

However, he refused to divulge when the meeting will be and why
it was delayed. The meeting was originally scheduled for October
2005.


MAKATI MEDICAL: Mulls Php160-Mln Stock Rights Offering
------------------------------------------------------
Ailing Makati Medical Center is looking to offer around Php160
million in stock rights to its shareholders, The Philippine Star
has learned.

Proceeds from the offering will be issued to fund expansion of
its operations and refurbishment of existing facilities.

The financially distressed hospital will file this month its
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).

Makati Med, which has been embroiled in financial woes in the
past three years, is in talks with creditors to restructure
around Php1.2 billion in debts.

ATR-Kim Eng has been appointed as financial adviser for the plan
to restructure debts and raise new funds.

MAYNILAD WATER: Stakeholders Don't Want President to Quit
---------------------------------------------------------
All stakeholders of Maynilad Water Services Inc. have opposed
the planned resignation of its president, Fiorello Estuar,
reports BusinessWorld.

This means that Maynilad's interim board of directors will push
to retain Mr. Estuar during the firm's stockholders' meeting on
Jan. 9.

An informed source said Mr. Estuar was persuaded by all parties
"who are amenable that he stays" - from the court that hears the
rehabilitation case to Maynilad's creditors and lenders, and
even the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).

Mr. Estuar's supposed resignation comes at a time when the
government is preparing to transfer to a new investor the rights
to operate Maynilad. The firm is in the midst of a
rehabilitation that would restructure debts and improve
operations.

Maynilad stakeholders are blocking Mr. Estuar's resignation on
concerns his departure would derail the firm's rehabilitation.

Mr. Estuar was appointed president of Maynilad in February 2004
to replace Rafael Alunan, former Interior and Local Government
chief.

TPG CORPORATION: Pre-need Exit Hinges on Planholders' OK
--------------------------------------------------------
TPG Corporation can only exit the pre-need industry if it
secures the approval of 20,000 planholders, BusinessWorld
reports.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will allow the
Company to leave its pre-need business for as long as all its
planholders agree to a proposal to convert the firm into a total
financial services company.

However, several letters from plan holders have already reached
the SEC, complaining that TPG had been coercing them to decide
immediately by registering their approval for a proposed scheme
called STEP-UP Program.

In September, the pre-need firm set out on a nationwide road
show to secure the approval of plan holders for STEP-UP or
Scholars Trust Fund with Equitable Pay-out for Unified
Preservation, a program designed to address the problem of
uncontrolled tuition increases plaguing the industry.

Aside from redefining the payout system, the program also
proposes the eventual conversion of the pre-need firm into a
financial holding company.

TPG, led by its chairman, Francisco Colayco, had been issued a
series of show-cause orders for it to address its trust fund
deficiencies. The company has yet to present its response to the
SEC.

But Mr. Colayco said the company assures all its plan holders
that it will not renege on its obligations since it even
proposes to make them co-owners of the new firm.
