FIAT SPA: Confirms Talks with Chrysler on Alfa Romeo Cooperation

Fiat S.p.A. held talks with Chrysler LLC over cooperation
agreements over its Alfa Romeo unit, Reuters reports citing an

1995.

CABLE & WIRELESS: Earns GBP284 Million for Year Ended March 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Cable & Wireless Plc posted GBP284 million in net group profit
on GBP3.15 billion in net group revenues for the year ended
March 31, 2008, compared with GBP103 million in net group profit
on GBP3.35 billion in net group revenues for the year ended
March 31, 2007.
As of March 31, 2008, group cash and cash equivalents were
GBP699 million. During the year, the repurchase of the
convertible bonds due in 2010 resulted in a cash outflow of
GBP190 million. Additionally, the company paid GBP34 million
repurchasing bonds due in 2019 that had a nominal value of
GBP32 million and paid GBP138 million for the 2007/08 interim
dividend and the final dividend of the 2006/07 year.
The remaining net cash inflow of GBP13 million relates to cash
generated by International and Central partially offset by the
outflow in Europe, Asia & US.
Group debt at March 31, 2008, was GBP456 million, a decrease of
GBP260 million from March 31, 2007. During the year, the Group
repurchased and converted all of the convertible bonds in issue
at March 31, 2007 -- carrying value of GBP213 million.
The group also repurchased bonds due in 2019 with a carrying
value of GBP32 million, reducing the carrying amount of those
bonds outstanding to GBP147 million.
During the year, the improvement in the Group's cash flows and
the progress of the Europe, Asia & U.S. restructuring to date
have led both Standard and Poor's and Moody's to improve the
Group's credit rating outlook.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on May 26,
2008, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services has revised its outlook
on Cable & Wireless to developing from stable.
The developing outlook means ratings can be raised, lowered, or
affirmed. The 'BB-' long-term and 'B' short-term corporate
credit ratings remain unchanged.
Group Outlook for 2008/09
For Group:
* EBITDA in the range of GBP702 million to GBP725 million,
including a net pension credit related to the main U.K.
defined benefit scheme of GBP12 million, representing
EBITDA growth of 16% to 20%.
For International:
* EBITDA in the range of US$895 million to US$910 million
(GBP447 million to GBP455 million at an average U.S.
dollar to sterling exchange rate of 2.00 for the year),
including a net pension credit of US$8 million,
representing EBITDA growth of 8% to 10%;
* EBITDA margin of around 35%;

including a net pension credit of GBP8 million,

the full year, although the timings of receipts and
payments may mean there is a small trading outflow in the
first half of the year;
* capital expenditure of around 10% of revenue; and
* the percentage current tax rate to be effectively nil.
For Central:
* EBITDA cost in the range of GBP25 million to
GBP30 million.

CLEAR CHANNEL: Debt Financing for Merger Secured in Escrow
----------------------------------------------------------
Clear Channel Communications, Inc. last week disclosed that the
bank syndicate providing the debt financing with respect to the
acquisition of Clear Channel, pursuant to the amended merger
agreement with entities sponsored by Bain Capital Partners, LLC
and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., has now fully funded the debt
financing related to the US$17.9 billion merger. Under the terms
of the amended merger agreement, Clear Channel shareholders will
receive $36.00 in cash or stock for each share they own.
The bank syndicate, consisting of Citigroup, Deutsche Bank,
Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, Royal Bank of Scotland and
Wachovia, had until May 22, 2008, to comply with a settlement
agreement in connection with the lawsuits filed in March in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York and the State Court in
Bexar County, Texas. Under the settlement, the parties agreed
to place all financing into an escrow account, pending
completion of the transaction.
“T[he] actions significantly increase the certainty that our
merger will close,” said Mark Mays, Chief Executive Officer of
Clear Channel. “Cash on the barrelhead for one of the largest
LBOs in history is an enormous win for our shareholders.”
The private equity sponsors and certain shareholders investing
in the merged company are required to fund the equity financing
into escrow by May 28th. At that time, all debt and equity
funds necessary to close will be held by The Bank of New York,
as escrow agent, pending the satisfaction of the conditions to
closing.
Lawsuit Dismissal
In related activities, the bank syndicate was dismissed from
lawsuits in Texas and New York, and the banks, in turn, will
dismiss their appeals. In addition, the banking group and
sponsors have agreed that Clear Channel Communications can
specifically enforce all contracts related to the merger against
any party.

ratings on Clear Channel Communications Inc., including the 'B+'
corporate credit rating, remain on CreditWatch with negative
implications.
Fitch Ratings stated that in line with previous guidance, Clear
Channel Communications' 'BB-' Issuer Default Rating and Senior
Unsecured Ratings would remain in place if the going-private
transaction is not completed.
Moody's stated that assuming the transaction is completed as
currently contemplated, Clear Channel will likely be assigned a
Corporate Family Rating of B2 and the rating on the existing
senior notes is likely to be notched down to Caa1 based on their
expected subordination to the new senior secured debt facilities
and the new senior notes.

NORTHERN ROCK: Drop in House Prices Could Delay Debt Repayment
--------------------------------------------------------------
Northern Rock Plc's executive chairman, Ron Sandler warned that
the bank's debt repayment to the Bank of England could be
delayed due to sharp decline in house prices, published reports
say.
According to the reports, Mr. Sandler said that Northern Rock
may struggle to meet its repayments and could delay loan
clearing by up to six months if house prices drop over the
coming years.
Mr. Sandler added that if house prices were to drop by 5%, 10%,
or 15%, "it would put a great deal of stress in [the bank's]
ability to deliver the [business] plan."
According to the Telegraph, Northern Rock plans to repay the
remaining GBP24.1 billion loan to Bank of England by 2010 and
release the Treasury from its GBP75 billion guarantees by 2011.
Northern Rock said it would review its current business plan in
the third quarter of 2008.

become an interested party in the Judicial Review proceedings
issued by SRM and the Shareholders Action Group on May 8, 2008,
and by RAB Capital on May 16, 2008.

Legal & General lodged its acknowledgment of service for each of
the claims.
"Legal & General hold and manage funds which track the FTSE All

Shareholders Action Group. Legal & General has a significant
interest in the outcome of the judicial review and, therefore,
wishes to monitor events closely.
"Legal & General wishes to ensure that the valuation of shares
is conducted on a fair basis and believes that it is right and
appropriate for the Court to consider whether the proposed
method of valuation is fair. Legal & General considers that the
valuation should be independent and transparent without the
prescriptive assumptions imposed by the Treasury. We therefore
broadly support the substance of the applications brought by the
Claimants."

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
