SAPPI PAPIER: Moody's Cuts Sr. Unsecured Debt Ratings to Ba1
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to Ba1 from Baa3 the
backed senior unsecured debt ratings of Sappi Papier Holding
GmbH, benefiting from a guarantee from its parent company, Sappi
Ltd. (unrated). The rating outlook on both ratings is stable.
Moody's said that the downgrade of Sappi Papier Holding's backed
senior unsecured rating to Ba1 considered:
-- Sappi's weak profitability (indicated by significant
adjusted EBITDA margin reduction from above 16% in 2004 to
just below 10% in 2005) and ongoing high leverage
(Retained Cash Flow/ Net Debt of 14.5% at FYE 2005),
reflecting mainly an ongoing very weak operating
performance of its North American activities as well as
some weakness of its European operations;
-- the considerable swings in operating performance and the
significant efficiency improvements required to regain
greater financial flexibility, as indicated by the low
asset efficiency (EBITA/Average Assets at 0.42% in 2005);
and
-- the challenge that the new management will face to restore
profitability of its operations to historical levels and
in line with European and North American peers.
The stable outlook reflects Sappi's strong historical position
in the high-quality publication paper market, the good asset
quality of its European and North American paper machines which
are in line with other leading industry players, as well as the
expectation of some price increases on the back of both capacity
adjustments and a pick-up in advertising expenditure in print
media. The stable outlook also incorporates our expectation
that management will address the challenges that Sappi faces,
resulting in visible improvements to the current weak financial
metrics towards the end of 2006.
This rating action concludes the review for possible downgrade,
which was initiated on Feb. 28, 2006.
Sappi Ltd. is domiciled in Johannesburg, South Africa, and is a
leading global producer of coated fine paper and dissolving pulp
with consolidated group sales at FYE 2005 of US$5 billion.
Sappi Papier Holding GmbH is the holding company for Sappi's
international paper operations outside of South Africa and
accounts for approximately three quarters of sales and net
operating assets of the group.

NORDIC TELEPHONE: Launches Private Debt Placement
-------------------------------------------------
Nordic Telephone Company Holding ApS, which through its direct
subsidiary Nordic Telephone Company ApS owns and controls 88.2%
of the share capital of TDC A/S, commenced a private offering of
notes on April 19, with NTCH as the sole obligor.
In connection with the offering, NTCH will publish a preliminary
offering memorandum.
Further, TDC makes the following disclosure of certain financial
performance estimates for the first quarter of 2006:
Based on currently available information, TDC estimates its
revenue for the first quarter of 2006 to be higher than for the
first quarter of 2005 before adjustment for acquisitions and
divestments of enterprises. Similarly, the revenue after
adjustment for acquisitions and divestments is estimated to be
higher, however, to a lesser extent.
Further, TDC estimates its EBITDA before special items for the
first quarter of 2006 to be higher than for the first quarter of
2005 before adjustment for acquisitions and divestments of
enterprises. Similarly the EBITDA after adjustment for
acquisitions and divestments is estimated to be higher, however,
to a lesser extent.
TDC estimates that, as expected, revenue and EBITDA before
special items declined for the TDC Switzerland segment in the
first quarter compared to the first quarter of 2005, despite the
growth on a group basis.
All the above-mentioned estimates are based on financial
information that is not final and changes may be made in
connection with the final compilation and verification.
As previously announced in TDC's financial calendar TDC will
issue its earnings release for the first quarter of 2006 on
May 4, 2006.
Nordic Telephone Company Holding ApS is a holding company of TDC
A/S, the Danish diversified telecommunications operator with
operations in Switzerland and in selected Northern and Central
European markets. In 2005, TDC generated revenue of DKK46.588
billion (EUR6.245 billion) and EBITDA before special items of
DKK13.003 billion (EUR1.743 billion).
* * *
As reported in TCR-Europe on April 21, Moody's Investors Service
assigned a (P)B2 rating to the proposed issuance of EUR2.031
billion in senior notes and floating rate notes (split between
the two tranche to be determined) by Nordic Telephone Company
Holding ApS, the 88.2% majority owner of the Danish diversified
telecommunications operator TDC A/S. Moody's said the outlook
on the rating is stable. Fitch rated the upcoming issue at an
expected B+ rating.
At the same time, NTCH carries Standard & Poor's BB- long-term
corporate credit rating with a stable outlook.

ALCATEL S.A.: Management Pact to Protect Merger Executives
----------------------------------------------------------
Alcatel SA and Lucent Technologies Inc. reached a management
agreement to shield Lucent chief executive Patricia Russo and
Alcatel's CEO Serge Tchuruk, following the companies' merger.
Ms. Russo will take over as the combined companies' CEO, while
Mr. Tchuruk will remain as a non-executive chairman.
According to the provision, two-thirds or nine out of the 14
members of the combined Franco-U.S. board must come up with a
no-confidence vote to oust either Ms. Russo or Mr. Tchuruk if
conflicts on strategies arise. The deal is only limited to the
two executives.
The new board will comprise of six Alcatel directors, six Lucent
directors, and two independent European directors.
As reported in TCR-Europe on April 12, Ms. Russo plans to
eliminate 10% of the companies' 88,000 combined workforce. The
job cuts will mark efforts to raise up to EUR1.4 billion in cost
savings in the next three years.
Alcatel and Lucent disclosed a merger agreement on April 2, to
create the first truly global communications solutions provider
with the broadest wireless, wireline and services portfolio in
the industry.
The combined company, to be named at a later date, will have an
aggregate market capitalization of approximately EUR30 billion
(US$36 billion), based upon the closing prices on March 31.
Based on calendar 2005 sales, the combined company will have
revenues of approximately EUR21 billion (US$25 billion), divided
almost evenly among North America, Europe and the rest of the
world.

REMY COINTREAU: Annual Turnover Grows by 6.4% to EUR802 Million
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the 12 months ended March 31, 2006, Remy Cointreau reported a
6.4% growth in turnover for the year to EUR802 million,
excluding operations sold at March 31, 2006 (EUR887 million in
total). The liquor company reported organic growth at 4.2%.
The growth reflected the commercial dynamism of the Group's key
brands in its major international markets, and the relevance of
its refocused strategy.
Sales of the operations sold included Bols Vodka (in Poland and
Russia, sold in August 2005) and the portfolio of Bols'
international, Dutch and Italian brands, whose effective
disposal was completed on April 11.

Cognac
The moderate growth reflected the programmed decline in ranges
with lower added value, particularly in the US where higher
qualities performed very well, and a temporary slowdown of sales
in Asia. The fourth quarter of 2005 showed a 9.1% increase and
this created a high comparative base for the fourth quarter of
this financial year.
Liqueurs & Spirits
The overall increase in turnover was sustained by the excellent
performance of Cointreau in the United States, particularly
during the second half of the year. The growth of Metaxa in
Eastern Europe offset a more difficult year in Greece in a
globally depressed market. The other European markets remained
sluggish.
Champagne
The acceleration in turnover recorded, in the fourth quarter, a
+12,7% increase in value against a high comparable base (up 22%
in 2005). This confirms the solid performance of Piper-
Heidsieck for the financial year, both internationally as well
as in France.
Partner Brands
The remarkable double-digit growth for the year was sustained by
the dynamism of the Scotch whiskies (The Famous Grouse and The
Macallan) as well as Californian wines in the US.
These annual turnover results are in line with Remy Cointreau's
development programme for its key international brands, in world
markets with strong potential. The Group confirms its objective
of double-digit growth in current operating profit for the
2005/06 financial year.
Headquartered in Cognac, France, Remy Cointreau --
http://www.remycointreau.com/-- offers a range of premium wine
and spirit brands, known and recognized throughout the world.
These brands include, among others, Remy Martin, Cointreau,
Passoa, Metaxa, Mount Gay Rum, Charles Heidsieck and Piper-
Heidsieck.

Remy Cointreau's senior unsecured debt carries a Ba2 rating from
Moody's Investors Service since 2003. Standard & Poor's rated
the Company's issuer credit at BB- in 2004.

Heitkamp-Deilmann-Haniel believes it is progressing towards
business recovery and only needs a few more obstacles to achieve
it, Michael Gassmann writes for the Financial Times Deutschland.
According to the report, the Company needs to strike a deal with
pension security fund Pensions Sicherungs Verein to get a
respite from costs brought by its mining division. Heitkamp-
Deilmann admitted the possibility of the coal-mining unit's
partial insolvency but is optimistic that any fallout would not
spread to its core construction division.
The Company's recovery plan entails selling its Canada-based
Redpath mining unit and pulling out from its loss-making
activities. The pullout would cut the group's construction
output from EUR850 million to EUR500 million and result in 800
job losses. The Company said the planned sale remains on track.
Headquartered in Herne, Germany, Heitkamp-Deilmann-Haniel GmbH -
-- http://www.heitkamp.de/-- is a merger between
Bauunternehmung E. Heitkamp GmbH, Herne and Deilmann-Haniel
GmbH. The Group focuses on the mining and civil construction
industries and is active in engineering and services for the
mining industry.

PERI GMBH: S&P Lifts Ratings on EUR75 Mln Proposed Notes at BB+
---------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its rating on the
senior unsecured debt issued by Peri GmbH to 'BB+' from 'BB'.
At the same time, Standard & Poor's assigned its 'BB+' senior
unsecured debt rating to proposed notes of approximately EUR75
million to be issued by Peri GmbH. In addition, the 'BB+' long-
term corporate credit ratings on Peri-Werk Artur Schwörer GmbH &
Co. KG, the holding company, and its operating company Peri GmbH
were affirmed. The outlook is positive.
Both the existing senior unsecured notes and the proposed senior
unsecured notes issued at the Peri GmbH level and are guaranteed
by PERI and ACS Immobilien GmbH & Co. KG, a group subsidiary.
"The rating on Peri GmbH's senior unsecured notes was raised as
a result of their improved asset coverage within the company's
capital structure," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst
Izabela Listowska. "This is due to the reduction in the
company's priority liabilities, including the existing secured
debt, financial liabilities, and other liabilities such as trade
liabilities borne by foreign operating entities, and the growth
of its asset base."
The proceeds from PERI's proposed senior unsecured notes will be
used for investments in rental stock and other fixed assets, as
well as to repay existing debt.
The ratings reflect PERI's:
-- exposure to markets that are cyclical, competitive, and
fragmented;
-- limited diversification by product and end-markets; and
-- moderately aggressive financial profile.
These negative factors are mitigated, however, by PERI's leading
position in the market for concrete formwork systems, its strong
product portfolio and business know-how, a combination of rental
and sales income, and its strong geographical and customer
diversification.
"The positive outlook reflects the possibility that the ratings
could be raised by one notch over the medium term if the group
continues its revenue growth and consistent profitability, if
free cash flow generation starts to outpace discretionary
capital spending, and if excess cash flows are dedicated to
permanent strengthening of the financial profile," said Ms.
Listowska. To secure an upgrade, fully adjusted FFO to total
debt should be maintained at more than 30% and fully adjusted
total debt to EBITDA should be less than 2.5x. Conversely, the
outlook could be revised to stable if discretionary spending
were to materially exceed expectations. The ratings could come
under pressure if business conditions deteriorated unexpectedly,
leading to a weakening in credit measures.

OLYMPIC AIRLINES: Petros Papageorgiou Steps Down as Chairman
------------------------------------------------------------
Petros Papageorgiou resigned as chairman of Olympic Airlines on
April 20, Reuters reports.
According to the report, Mr. Papageorgiou's resignation may be
due to repeated clashes with the government over Olympic's
prospects.
Reuters cited sources as saying that the chairman is also in
conflict with his colleagues at Olympic, including his
counterpart at the carrier's sister company Olympic Airways
Services as well as its unions.
George Hadjis, head of the flight attendant's union, told
Reuters, "Papageorgiou didn't offer anything new in his two year
tenure," adding that the chairman's "departure is no loss for
the company."
Greece named Mr. Papageorgiou as Olympic's chairman in March
2004. Board member Elias Karatzalis will take the helm as
Olympic's new chairman following Mr. Papageorgiou's resignation,
the Transport Ministry said.
The government intends to replace Olympic Airlines with Pantheon
Airways, which will be about one-third the size of the carrier.
Greece will remain Pantheon's main shareholder but has tasked
Deputy Finance Minister Petros Doukas to look for possible
investors for the carrier. Mr. Doukas reportedly has secured
around EUR100 million in financing for the new carrier.
The European Court has issued two rulings ordering Greece to
recover a total of EUR701 million in illegal state aid. The
European Commission has threatened to imposed stiff fines
against Greece should the latter fail to recover the amount from
Olympic Airlines within two months.
Analysts said the management change would hardly affect
Olympic's rescue efforts.
Headquartered in Athens, Greece, Olympic Airlines S.A. --
http://www.olympicairlines.com/-- the holding company of the
Olympic Airways group of companies, flies passengers and cargo
to five continents, while offering ground handling, technical
maintenance and information technology services to third
parties. The group's net loss widened to EUR87 million in 2004
from EUR23 million a year before. Together with the 2004
deficit, Olympic's EUR110 million in accumulated losses are
nearly equivalent to its EUR130 million in equity.
TIM HELLAS: S&P Affirms B+ Long-Term Corporate Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'B+' long-term
corporate credit ratings on Greek mobile telecommunications
operator Tim Hellas Telecommunications S.A. and related
entities.
At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed all debt ratings
outstanding on related entities Hellas Telecommunications
(Luxembourg) V (Hellas V) and Hellas Telecommunications
(Luxembourg) III (Hellas III).
All the ratings were removed from CreditWatch, where they had
been placed with negative implications on April 5. The outlook
is negative.
Furthermore, the EUR500 million pay-in-kind (PIK) floating rate
notes due 2014, issued by Hellas Telecommunications Finance
SARL, a fully-owned financial subsidiary of the group's top
holding company Hellas Telecommunications I SARL (Hellas I),
were rated 'B-', two notches below the corporate credit rating
on Hellas I. The notching mainly reflects the notes' high level
of subordination relative to the rest of the group's debt, in
line with Standard & Poor's criteria for rating hybrid debt.
The affirmation, CreditWatch resolution, and negative outlook
reflect our view that Tim Hellas' unexpected early repayment of
the group's EUR380 million shareholder loans (including accrued
interest) and EUR120 million PIK notes, and their replacement by
the EUR500 million PIK notes, highlights a more aggressive
financial policy than previously anticipated.
"The early repayments and resulting higher leverage may no
longer be commensurate with a 'B+' rating at year-end 2006, if
the improvement in the company's operating performance is not
strong enough," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Melvyn
Cooke.
The group's more aggressive financial policy may limit potential
deleveraging and prevent it achieving significantly less than 6x
non-lease-adjusted debt to EBITDA in the medium term. To
maintain the ratings the group would need to have lease-adjusted
gross debt to EBITDA of less than 6x at year-end 2006.
Tim Hellas will also need to ensure strong generation of
synergies and smooth integration following the Q Telecom
acquisition.
The outlook could be revised to stable if the group achieves the
necessary EBITDA growth to achieve lease-adjusted credit
measures in line with a 'B+' rating at year-end 2006, and if Tim
Hellas progressively improves its capital structure over the
next few years. The group would also need to ensure the
improvement of its credit ratios on a net-debt basis, by
protecting its accumulated cash balances against the long-term
bullet debt maturities.
"The group could be downgraded if it fails to deliver on EBITDA
growth and lease-adjusted credit metrics in 2006," added Mr.
Cooke. "Indications that the group will not improve its capital
structure over the next few years would also result in downward
rating pressure."

IT HOLDING: Malo Appoints Giacomo Santucci as New Chairman
----------------------------------------------------------
IT Holding's Malo S.p.A. named Giacomo Santucci as its new
chairman.

highly-selected department and specialty stores. IT Holding has
over 1,700 employees. It went public on November 1997 and its
shares are traded on Milan Stock Exchange.
* * *
Earlier, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said its B- long-
term corporate credit rating on Italian fashion company IT
Holding S.p.A. remains on CreditWatch with negative
implications, where it was placed on July 28, 2005.
At the same time, Standard & Poor's lowered its rating on the
senior secured debt issued by IT Holding Finance S.A. and
guaranteed by ITH to CCC+ from B-, reflecting an increase in
prior-ranking debt in ITH's capital structure. The rating also
remains on CreditWatch with negative implications, where it was
placed on July 28, 2005.

KAZAKHSTAN TEMIR: S&P Rates $850 Million Proposed Notes at BB+
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB+' long-term
senior unsecured debt rating to the proposed notes issue by
Kazakhstan Temir Zholy Finance B.V., a finance company jointly
owned by Kazakhstan-based national railroad monopoly Kazakhstan
Temir Zholy (KTZ; BB+/Stable/--; Kazakh national scale kzAA-)
and its 100% subsidiary Kazzheldortrans. The size (up to US$850
million) and maturity of the notes issue will be determined at
placement.
The rating on the notes is the same as the corporate credit
rating on KTZ, reflecting that the notes will be irrevocably,
unconditionally, jointly, and severally guaranteed by KTZ and
its two major operating subsidiaries, KZDT and JSC Locomotiv
(Locomotiv), and will rank equal to the group's other senior
unsecured obligations. KZDT and Locomotiv are two major
subsidiaries of KTZ that operate the freight wagons and
locomotive fleets, respectively, of the group.
The covenant package of the notes includes a negative pledge, in
addition to restrictions on mergers and consolidation, the
disposal of assets by the issuer and each guarantor, and changes
in the business of the group. The transaction is not expected
to include financial covenants. The noteholders are also
entitled to claim early redemption if there is a change of
control over the companies by the government of Kazakhstan; if
there are court judgments for the payment of money over $25
million (among other events of default); or if government
intervention results in the condemning, seizing, or
appropriation of a substantial portion of revenues or assets of
the group.
The ratings on KTZ continue to reflect the group's aggressive
financial profile, which factors in the need for significant
medium-term borrowing to invest in rail infrastructure and
rolling stock. An evolving, opaque, and politicized regulatory
regime and competition from oil pipelines present additional
credit risks. These risks are mitigated by KTZ's strong
competitive position in the national transport sector; the
continued vertical integration of monopoly rail infrastructure
and freight transport operations; good medium-term prospects for
rail traffic growth (with the exception of crude oil transport);
and KTZ's strategic importance to, and support from, the
Republic of Kazakhstan (foreign currency BBB-/Stable/A-3; local
currency BBB/Stable/A-3).

Offer deadline of 5:00 p.m. (EST) May 18, will receive New Notes
in the same principal amount as the Existing Notes plus a cash
consideration payment, less the early submission cash payment.
In both cases, eligible holders whose tendered Existing Notes
are accepted will receive an amount in cash equal to the accrued
and unpaid interest in respect of the Existing Notes to (but
excluding) the settlement date. Additional cash consideration
may be paid based on the results of the Concurrent Offer. The
purpose of the exchange offer is to lengthen VimpelCom's debt
maturity profile and to take advantage of current market
conditions as well as to create a new liquid longer dated
benchmark in the public credit market
Prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer, VimpelCom intends
to offer a principal amount of New Notes, issued by the Bank,
such that the aggregate amount of New Notes issued in the
Exchange Offer and the Concurrent Offer will total up to US$500
million. VimpelCom intends to use the net proceeds from the
Concurrent Offer to continue the development and expansion of
its networks.
About VimpelCom
Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, VimpelCom --
http://www.vimpelcom.com/-- provides mobile telecommunications
services in Russia and Kazakhstan with newly acquired operations

addition, VimpelCom is continuing to use 'K-mobile' and 'EXCESS'
brands in Kazakhstan.

As reported in TCR-Europe on March 14, Moody's Investors Service
has changed the outlook on the ratings of OJSC Vimpel-
Communication and upgraded the ratings on the existing bonds to
Ba3 from B1. The corporate family rating remains unchanged at
Ba3.
VIMPEL-COMMUNICATION: Moody's Affirms Ba3 Rating on Bond Issue
--------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed ratings of Open Joint Stock
Company Vimpel-Communication after announcing plans to issue up
to US$500 million in loan participation notes.
Concurrently, Moody's assigned a provisional (P)Ba3 rating to
the new notes. The outlook on the ratings remains positive.
Moody's notes that VimpelCom intends to use up to US$250 million
of the new note proceeds in an exchange offer for a similar
amount of the existing US$450 million 10.0% loan participation
notes due 2009. The anticipated incremental increase in the
absolute debt level is within the expectations embedded in the
Ba3 rating with a positive outlook.
Moody's further notes that the affirmation of VimpelCom's
ratings does not factor any potential financial impact from the
publicly announced proposal by VimpelCom to acquire Kyivstar GSM
JSC for a consideration of circa US$5 billion. If the
transaction is consummated and a high portion of the purchase
price is financed by debt, VimpelCom's ratings could come under
downward pressure.
Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, VimpelCom is one of the
country's leading providers of mobile telecommunications
services, under the "Beeline" brand. For the twelve months
ending December 2005, the company generated US$3.2 billion in
revenue with a 48.9% OIBDA margin.
VIMPEL-COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Rated $500 Mln Proposed Notes at BB
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'BB' senior
unsecured debt rating to the proposed loan participation notes
of up to us$500 million to be issued by -- but without recourse
to -- UBS (Luxembourg) S.A., for the sole purpose of funding an
intended loan of a similar amount to Russian mobile
telecommunications company Vimpel-Communications (JSC)
(VimpelCom; BB/Positive/--).
"VimpelCom intends to use up to US$250 million of the new note
proceeds in an exchange offer for a similar amount of the
existing US$450 million, 10.0% loan participation notes, due
2009, and to provide finance for its planned investment program
in 2006," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lorenzo
Sliusarev.
The senior unsecured debt rating is the same as the long-term
corporate credit rating on VimpelCom. This reflects the
company's continuing strong market share, which has been further
enhanced by successful regional expansion in Russia, and the
potential for further mobile market growth in Russia and the
Commonwealth of Independent States.
"Furthermore, VimpelCom has the ability to maintain strong
profitability, improve cash flow generation, integrate recent
acquisitions, and manage financial risks in a dynamic and
challenging environment," added Mr. Sliusarev.
The ratings are constrained by the dynamic and increasingly
competitive mobile telecoms market in Russia and the CIS, as
well as by VimpelCom's predisposition for aggressive growth and
further geographic expansion, together with currently negative
free cash flow. The company also remains exposed to the
uncertainty of the evolving economic, administrative, and
industrial environments in Russia and the CIS.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services withdrew its ratings on
Sweden-based petroleum refiner Preem Holdings AB and subsidiary
Preem Petroleum AB at the company's request.
The long-term corporate credit ratings on both Preem Holdings
and Preem Petroleum at the time of withdrawal were 'BB-' and the
outlooks were stable.
The 'B' ratings on Preem Holdings' EUR305 million senior secured
debt and Preem Petroleum's EUR100 million senior subordinated

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR-Europe contains a list of
companies with insolvent balance sheets based on the latest
publicly available balance sheet available to our editors at the
time of 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.
