> TIBA DVUR: Court Appoints S. Kuzela as Bankruptcy Administrator
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
> The Hradec Kralove Regional Court declared iba Dvur Kralove nad
> Labem bankrupt and appointed Stanilav Kuzelam as bankruptcy
> administrator, the Prague Daily Monitor reports.
>
> The company, which has 550 employees, lists over 1,000 creditors
> with claims amounting to nearly CZK600 million (EUR21 million),
> the report says.
>
> Tiba had proposed an out-of-court settlement in June 2006;
> however, its creditors rejected the proposal in January, driving
> the company to the brink of bankruptcy, the Prague Daily Monitor
> relates.
>
> According to the report, the company insists that all of the
> applications to declare it bankrupt filed from May 2003 until
> the end of 2005 were unjustifiable and were all based on
> questionable claims.
>
> "Although [Tiba's] board of directors and management are
> convinced that [out-of-court] settlement gives creditors greater
> guarantee of the settlement of their claims and enables to
> maintain production and employment in the region, the proposal
> for settlement had not been accepted," Tiba said in a statement
> sent to the Czech News Agency.
>
> According to the statement, the company can comply with the
> creditors' claims as long as it maintains its present
> production.
>
> "But if production winds up immediately . . . most assets will
> at once lose most of their current value," Tiba added in its
> statement.
>
> Tiba reported a CZK225 million (EUR8 million) loss in 2005 and
> has laid off more than half of its 1,200 employees since then,
> the Prague Daily Monitor states.
>
> Zdenek Smid, head of the regional employment office, has
> expressed his desire to discuss the future of all Tiba employees
> with Mr. Kuzelam in March, the Prague Daily Monitor reveals.

> ALCATEL-LUCENT: Job Cuts to Affect Research & Development Unit
> --------------------------------------------------------------
> Alcatel-Lucent will decrease the workforce of its Research and
> Development department as part of its company-wide plan to shed
> 12,500 jobs and cut costs, Bloomberg News reports.
>
> "We have to participate, at least to a certain extent, in the
> company's cost-reduction efforts," Olivier Baujard, Alcatel-
> Lucent's Chief Technology Officer, told Bloomberg News.
>
> Mr. Baujard, however, noted that Alcatel-Lucent's R&D unit,

> despite the jobs cuts.
>
> In a TCR-Europe report on Feb. 13, Alcatel-Lucent said some
> 3,500 workers will be laid off on top of the 9,000 originally
> disclosed by the company following the Alcatel-Lucent merger.
> The increase in job cuts came after the combined company
> reported a EUR618 million net loss on EUR4.42 billion in net
> revenues for the fourth quarter 2006.  The figures reflect the
> first for which the newly merged telecommunications-equipment
> maker reported combined earnings, the Wall Street Journal
> reported.
>
> Alcatel-Lucent CEO Patricia Russo said the company is leveraging
> the integration of Alcatel S.A. and Lucent Technologies to
> create a more competitive enterprise over the long term and
> enhance its operating model to enable greater efficiencies in
> operations.  The chief executive said the company aims to
> optimize its supply chain and services, eliminate of duplicate
> resources, and rationalize its product.  Ms. Russo added the
> company could save as much as EUR1.7 billion in pre-tax cost
> within three years, with at least EUR600 million for 2007.

> DAIMLERCHRYSLER: Chrysler Group In Talks with General Motors
> ------------------------------------------------------------
> DaimlerChrysler AG and General Motors Corp. are in talks about a
> possible purchase of the Chrysler Group by GM, according to
> German publication Manager Magazin.
>
> According to various news agencies, DaimlerChrysler hired
> JPMorgan for advice regarding strategic alternatives.
>
> In a TCR report on Feb. 15, DaimlerChrysler Chairman of the
> Board of Management Dr. Dieter Zetsche said, "... in order to
> optimize and accelerate the presented plan, we are looking into
> further strategic options with partners....  In this regard, we
> do not exclude any option in order to find the best solution for
> both the Chrysler Group and DaimlerChrysler."
>
> GM and DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group are also in talks of
> an alliance to share costs of chassis designs and reduce
> development expenses for a large sport utility vehicle, Jeff
> Green and Jeff Bennett of Bloomberg report citing people
> familiar with the talks.
>
> GM and the Chrysler Group have been discussing the matter for
> six months without reaching an agreement, the Wall Street
> Journal notes.

>                     About General Motors Corp.
>
> General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM) -- http://www.gm.com/-- is the
> world's largest automaker and has been the global industry sales
> leader since 1931.  Founded in 1908, GM employs about 284,000
> people around the world.  It has manufacturing operations in 33
> countries and its vehicles are sold in 200 countries.  GM sells
> cars and trucks under these brands: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet,
> GMC, GM Daewoo, Holden, HUMMER, Opel, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn and
> Vauxhall.
>
>                        About DaimlerChrysler
>
> Based in Stuttgart, Germany, DaimlerChrysler AG --
> http://www.daimlerchrysler.com/-- develops, manufactures,
> distributes, and sells various automotive products, primarily
> passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles worldwide.
> It primarily operates in four segments: Mercedes Car Group,
> Chrysler Group, Commercial Vehicles, and Financial Services.
>
> The Chrysler Group segment offers cars and minivans, pick-up
> trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans under the Chrysler,
> Jeep, and Dodge brand names.  It also sells parts and
> accessories under the MOPAR brand.
>
> The Chrysler Group is facing a difficult market environment in
> the United States with excess inventory, non-competitive legacy
> costs for employees and retirees, continuing high fuel prices
> and a stronger shift in demand toward smaller vehicles.  At the
> same time, key competitors have further increased margin and
> volume pressures -- particularly on light trucks -- by making
> significant price concessions.  In addition, increased interest
> rates caused higher sales & marketing expenses.
>
> In order to improve the earnings situation of the Chrysler Group
> as quickly and comprehensively, measures to increase sales and
> cut costs in the short term are being examined at all stages of
> the value chain, in addition to structural changes being
> reviewed as well.

>
> Subject to a successful completion of the group's announced

>
> At the end of December 2006, Smurfit Kappa had adjusted debt of

> ----------------------------------------------------------------
> Fitch assigned Pangaea ABS 2007-1 B.V's upcoming issue of
> EUR309.2 million floating-rate notes expected ratings.  The
> transaction is a securitization of structured finance assets
> including primarily mortgage-backed securities and
> collateralized debt obligations.
>
>    -- EUR220-million Class A floating-rate notes due 2096: 'AAA'
>
>    -- EUR16-million Class B floating-rate notes due 2096: 'AAA'
>
>    -- EUR18-million Class C floating-rate notes due 2096: 'AA'

>
>    -- EUR5-million Class F deferrable floating-rate notes due
>       2096: 'BB-'
>
>    -- EUR12.2-million subordinated notes due 2096: not rated
>
> The expected ratings of the Class A, B and C notes address the
> ultimate repayment of principal at maturity and the timely
> payment of interest when due, according to the terms of the
> notes.  For the Class D, E and F notes, which can defer
> interest, the expected ratings address the ultimate payment of
> principal and interest, including deferred interest, at
> maturity.  The final ratings are contingent upon the receipt of
> final documents conforming to information already received.
>
> The expected ratings are based on the quality and diversity of
> the portfolio of assets, which are selected by the collateral
> manager, Investec Principal Finance, subject to the guidelines
> outlined in the collateral management agreement.  The guidelines
> limit the collateral manager's portfolio allocations with
> respect to obligor, industry and asset type.  Investec will
> actively manage the collateral over a six-year reinvestment
> period.
>
> The ratings are also based on the credit enhancement provided to
> the various Classes of notes in the form of subordination,
> structural protection and excess spread.  Credit enhancement, in
> the form of subordination, for the A notes will total 26.7% and
> will be provided by the B notes, the C notes, the D notes, the E
> notes, the F notes and the unrated subordinated notes.  Some of
> the EUR12.2 million proceeds from the subordinated notes will be
> used to pay certain initial expenses of the issuer rather than
> to purchase collateral and therefore will not be available for
> subordination.
>
> Pangaea ABS 2007-1 B.V. is a limited liability company
> incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands.  At the closing
> date, the issuer is expected to have purchased at least 70% of
> the target portfolio; the remainder will be purchased over a
> six-month ramp-up period.  Pangaea ABS 2007-1 B.V may also issue
> combination notes that will comprise components of the rated
> notes as well as the subordinated notes.  The interest and
> principal cash flows on the combo notes will be derived from the
> interest and principal cash flows on their respective
> components.  At the time of writing, the detailed composition of
> the combo note issuance had not been finalized.

> ELEKTROWNIA TUROW: Fitch Lifts Ratings to B on Government's Plan
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
> Fitch Ratings upgraded Poland-based BOT Elektrownia Turow S.A.'s
> senior secured debt rating to 'B' from 'B-'.  The Outlook has
> been changed to Positive from Evolving.  At the same time,
> Elektrownia Turow B.V.'s EUR270 million guaranteed secured bond
> maturing in 2011 has also been upgraded to 'B' from 'B-'.
>
> The upgrade reflects the increasing probability of a positive
> outcome for ET's creditors relating to the Polish government's
> plan for early termination of PPAs.  ET's PPA with the state-
> owned transmission grid company Polskie Sieci
> Elektroenergetyczne S.A. constitutes a security for most of ET's
> debt.
>
> Fitch notes the Polish government's plan to link voluntary early
> termination of PPAs with the domestic power sector
> consolidation, so that financially stronger entities within the
> power companies may support highly leveraged generators such as
> ET.  The latter, which is now part of the BOT Gornictwo i
> Energetyka S.A. group, may be consolidated into the larger
> vertically integrated Polska Grupa Energetyczna.  Fitch expects
> that either BOT or PGE are likely to support ET in its debt
> repayment in a scenario that calls for early PPA termination.
> The agency notes the improved position of Polish power plants'
> creditors in relation to the PPA termination plans, after the
> draft act on compensation rules for generators calls for
> creditors' consent to any PPA cancellation.
>
> The upgrade additionally reflects ET's improving credit metrics
> given its steady de-leveraging since its debt-financed
> modernization program was completed in early 2005.  The 2.1-GW
> ET power plant is currently the most modern lignite-fired plant
> in the country.  The upgrade also reflects the strategic
> importance of ET's assets in view of expected tight supply of
> power generation assets in the next 10 years in Poland amid
> growing demand for electricity and aging generation assets.
>
> The Positive Outlook reflects the fact that according to Fitch's
> analysis, most likely scenarios for ET are expected to lead to a
> rating upgrade.  Under the draft act, if ET terminates its PPA
> early, it will receive a total compensation for stranded costs
> of PLN2.57bn in quarterly payments until 2016.  If ET becomes
> part of the vertically integrated PGE group, it will not receive
> any compensation since the government and European Commission
> assume that stronger entities in the group should support ET.
>
> The 'B' rating reflects ET's high leverage, tight debt service
> coverage ratio and need for support in case its PPA is
> terminated.  It should be noted that the government's plan may
> be subject to delays or changes given the number of failed
> attempts to cancel PPAs since 1998.
>
> Fitch also notes that the PPA of ET is not part of the EC
> investigation on prohibited state aid, because it was signed in
> August 1994, i.e. before the EU Treaty became effective in
> Poland in December 1994.  Therefore, ET's PPA may not
> necessarily be challenged by the EC even if the latter concludes
> that other PPAs in Poland are regarded as prohibited state aid.

> --------------------------------------------------------
> The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Advanced
> Marketing Services Inc. and its debtor-affiliates' Chapter 11
> cases and Kelly Beaudin Stapleton, the U.S. Trustee for Region
> 3, object to the Debtors' request to retain Capstone Advisory
> Group LLC as their financial advisors.
>
> "The Debtors have not demonstrated the need to retain Capstone
> as an investment banker," Thomas F. Driscoll III, Esq., at
> Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware,
> tells the United States Court for the District of Delaware.
>
> Representing the Committee, Mr. Driscoll contends that
> Capstone's services may be duplicative of those performed by the
> Debtors' other professionals.
>
> Rather than deplete the Debtors' limited resources by engaging
> Capstone to assist Houlihan, Lokey, Howard & Zukin Capital,
> Inc., in its efforts to market and refinance the Debtors, the
> Committee argues that the Debtors, with the help of their other
> professionals, could adequately perform those services.
>
> Also, Capstone is not an investment banker but a financial
> advisor and should not be entitled to any Success Fees, Mr.
> Driscoll tells Judge Christopher S. Sontchi.  The Committee
> believes that Capstone should be compensated for actual work
> done and actual value provided; Capstone should not receive a
> windfall at the expense of the unsecured creditor body.
>
> "The Court must condition Capstone's retention upon a review of
> Capstone's fees and expenses pursuant to Section 330 of the
> Bankruptcy Code so that the Court, the Committee, the Office of

> submit any appropriate objections to such fees and expenses,"
> Mr. Driscoll explains.
>
> Capstone "should provide hourly rates for its professionals,"
> Ms. Stapleton tells the Court.
>
> Certain terms and provisions of the Indemnification Provisions

>
> As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter on Feb. 7, the

> Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
> for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices
> are obtained by TCR 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 constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
> or sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
> affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
> public debt and equity securities about which we report.
>
> Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies
> with insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than
> US$3 per share in public markets.  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.
>
> A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
> Thursday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
> related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
> conferences@bankrupt.com/
>
> Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book
> of interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
> available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to
> http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.
