A-TEC INDUSTRIES: Seeks Buyer Following Approval of Debt Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Boris Groendahl at Bloomberg News reports that A-Tec Industries AG
has kicked off a search for an investor after creditors approved a
debt restructuring plan for the company.
Bloomberg relates that Hans-Georg Kantner of Kreditschutzverband
von 1870, the spokesman for A- Tec's creditor committee, said
creditors voted on Dec. 29 in favor of a plan under which they
will be paid 47% of their claims.
According to Bloomberg, Mr. Kantner said A-Tec has six months to
find an investor and must pay creditors by the end of September.
He said the investor would have to provide about EUR250 million
(US$329 million) to EUR270 million to ensure payment to creditors,
Bloomberg notes.
Bloomberg says as much as EUR300 million could come due if
contingent liabilities such as guarantees to banks or subsidiaries
are drawn. Mr. Kantner, as cited by Bloomberg, said that
creditors could earn a higher ratio of their claims if not all of
the guarantees come due. He said if no investor is found, A-Tec's
assets will be sold piecemeal and debt payments could take longer,
according to Bloomberg.
On Oct. 22, 2010, the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe, citing
Bloomberg News, reported that A-Tec sought court clearance to
reorganize debt after losing access to its line of credit because
of an Australian power-station project's financial difficulties.
Bloomberg disclosed A-Tec said in a statement on Oct. 20 that the
company filed for self-administered reorganization proceedings at
the Vienna Commercial Court and appointed trustees for
bondholders. The company has a EUR798 million (US$1.11 billion)
revolving credit facility and EUR302 million of outstanding bonds,
according to Bloomberg data.
A-TEC INDUSTRIES: Creditors Favor Chief Executive's Resignation
---------------------------------------------------------------
Boris Groendahl at Bloomberg News, citing Austrian state
broadcaster ORF, reports that creditors of A-Tec Industries AG
would welcome majority shareholder and Chief Executive Mirko
Kovats stepping down.
Mr. Kovats' resignation as CEO "would be beneficial for building
trust and it would be very, very acceptable for creditors," Hans-
Georg Kantner of credit protection association KSV
Kreditschutzverband von 1870 told ORF radio in an interview,
according to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg relates that Mr. Kantner also said that Mr. Kovats had
managed A-Tec in a "very speculative way", expanding the group
"too quickly, with borrowed money".
On Oct. 22, 2010, the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe, citing
Bloomberg News, reported that A-Tec sought court clearance to
reorganize debt after losing access to its line of credit because

* S&P Assigns 'B+' Issuer Credit Rating to the City of Minsk
------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said it assigned its 'B+' long-
term issuer credit rating to the City of Minsk, the capital of
Belarus. The outlook is negative.
"The rating reflects S&P's view of the city's very limited budget
predictability and flexibility, large infrastructure needs, and
high contingent liabilities," said Standard & Poor's credit
analyst Felix Ejgel. "Nevertheless, S&P considers that the city's
status as the country's largest administrative, financial, and
commercial center, its consistently very strong operating surplus,
moderate debt burden, and good liquidity all support its
creditworthiness."
Despite economic difficulties, the city's official unemployment
rate is low, while its estimated GDP per capita of about $8,000 in
2009 is 1.5x the national average. S&P expects the city to
demonstrate a consistently very strong operating performance,
providing solid self-funding capacity despite rising personnel and
interest spending.
Nevertheless, S&P note that private investment in the city economy
is limited. Minsk therefore has to maintain high capital spending
both directly from the budget and via a large number of municipal
companies, which exposes it to large contingent liabilities.
S&P forecast that rising infrastructure needs will result in
expanding the city's deficit after capital accounts as a
percentage of total revenues to 8% on average in 2011-2013, from
1.2% projected for 2010. However, S&P also believes the city's
good debt-raising capacity will help it absorb rising capital
spending with only modest debt accumulation. S&P expects the
city's tax-supported debt to increase from about 10% of
consolidated operating revenues in 2009, but to remain below a
modest 60% until 2014.
Minsk has taken out no direct debt over the past five years except
for short-term loans from the central government and small
domestic bonds. Instead, it has expanded its borrowings through
municipal companies. Nonetheless, S&P expects that the debt
accumulation of these companies will slow over the medium term
because the city will likely borrow externally in 2011.
The negative outlook on Minsk is capped by that on the Republic of
Belarus (foreign currency B+/Negative/B, local currency
BB/Negative/B)."S&P would lower the rating on the city if the
sovereign rating was lowered," said Mr. Ejgel. "Even if the
sovereign rating remains unchanged, S&P might lower the rating on
Minsk if the city had to enlarge its capital program without
adequate co-financing from the central government's budget. This
could lead to an accumulation of the city's debt, either directly
or via municipal companies."

TUI AG: TUI Travel Replaces Auditor Following Accounting Blunder
----------------------------------------------------------------
Louise Lucas at The Financial Times reports that TUI Travel, a
unit of TUI AG, is to ditch its group auditors KPMG Audit after an
accounting blunder, which was announced in October, forced the
tour operator to restate its 2009 results.
According to the FT, shareholders will be asked to approve the
appointment of PwC at the February annual general meeting as
replacement.
TUI Travel, as cited by the FT, said it had a "good working
relationship" with KPMG but that following the restatement felt it
"appropriate" that new auditors be brought on board.
The accounting error has already cost chief financial officer Paul
Bowtell his job, the FT notes. TUI Travel wrote off an additional
GBP88 million on top of a GBP29 million writedown announced in
August, the FT discloses. The non-cash adjustments to TUI
Travel's 2009 results shrank operating profit by GBP42 million to
GBP401 million, with a reduction in year-end net assets from
GBP2.29 billion to GBP2.22 billion, the FT states.
The cause of the errors lies in TUI Travel's use of two separate
computer systems in its business after its merger with First
Choice in 2007, according to the FT. One system is used by TUI
Travel's retail division to make customer bookings, while the
other is used by tour operators working for TUI Travel, the FT
says.

* * *
As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Dec. 22,
2010, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it revised its
outlook on Germany-based tourism and shipping conglomerate TUI AG
to stable from negative. At the same time, the 'B-' long-term
corporate credit rating, along with the 'B-' senior unsecured debt
and 'CCC-' junior subordinated debt ratings, on TUI were affirmed.
The recovery rating of '4' on the senior unsecured debt, and '6'
on the junior subordinated debt, are unchanged.
On, Sept. 29, 2010, the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe reported
that Moody's Investors Service affirmed the Corporate Family
Rating and Probability of Default Rating of TUI AG at Caa1; the
unsecured rating and the subordinated ratings are also affirmed at
Caa2 and Caa3, respectively. The outlook was changed to stable
from negative.
* GERMANY: New Law to Help Restructure Struggling Banks
-------------------------------------------------------
Aaron Kirchfeld at Bloomberg News reports that the Federal Agency
for Financial Market Stabilization said a new German law will help
the state to restructure lenders and avoid having to bail out
banks whose collapse may hurt the industry and wider economy.
Starting in 2011, the FMSA will oversee a restructuring fund and
collect a bank levy that'll enable it to reorganize lenders and
protect systemically relevant parts of struggling banks, Bloomberg
says, citing an e-mailed statement on Dec. 29.
According to Bloomberg, the FMSA said under the new law, German
authorities can transfer systemically relevant parts of a bank to
another lender or place those activities in a newly created
"bridge bank" to allow the continuation and restructuring of
operations. The remaining assets may be wound down in insolvency
proceedings, Bloomberg notes. The restructuring fund can provide
capital or guarantees to the bridge bank using money from the
levy, Bloomberg discloses.
Bloomberg relates Germany passed a law in November that includes a
levy on the country's lenders to set up a EUR70 billion (US$92
billion) fund for future bailouts and measures to help wind down
lenders, as the country seeks to reduce the risk of taxpayers
footing the bill for financial crises.

WIND HELLAS: Bingham Advises Noteholders in EUR1.8BB Restructuring
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bingham's leading restructuring team in London has completed
another high-profile financial restructuring, this time for the Ad
Hoc Committee of Senior Secured Noteholders on the EUR1.8 billion
restructuring and enforcement sale of Greece's third largest
telecommunications operator, Wind Hellas. The outcome has left
the Noteholders as 100% owners of the business, which is now
almost entirely debt free.
"Wind Hellas is one of the very few deals in the past two or three
years in which subordinated creditors have successfully obtained
control of a major European corporate through a debt-to-equity
swap," said Bingham financial restructuring partner James Roome,
who led the team acting for the Committee. "We were pleased to
act for the leading investment funds on the Committee in bringing
to fruition a complex transaction involving English, Greek,
Luxembourg and US laws and procedures. The multiple layers of
debt, together with boom-era New York and English law
documentation, made this a particularly complicated transaction,
even by the standards of cross-border high-yield bond
restructurings."
The Bingham team, which included corporate partners John Clark and
Vance Chapman, advised the Committee on its successful bid to
purchase Wind Hellas via a pre-packaged administration sale, after
the centre of main interests (COMI) of the debtor companies had
been moved to England from Luxembourg. Bingham not only advised
the Committee in their capacity as creditors in negotiations with
the company and the senior bank lenders, but also guided them
through a lengthy and competitive M&A process, undertaking a full
due diligence review of the company and playing a major role in
designing the implementation steps of the transaction. The deal
also included a Scheme of Arrangement to transfer the Senior
Secured Notes into Bidco, the acquisition vehicle, followed by an
administration sale of the shares in Wind Hellas to Bidco, as well
as recognition of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Delaware court
under Chapter 15 of the US Bankruptcy Code.
The Scheme of Arrangement was coupled with a fully underwritten
"Additional Offering" used as a mechanism to raise EUR420 million
new money to fund part of the purchase price. The balance of the
purchase price was borrowed from the provider of a daylight
facility. More than 98% of Noteholders voted in favor of the
Scheme of Arrangement, and of those, almost all participated in
the Additional Offering. In addition, more than 99% of
Noteholders participated in the Exchange Solicitation, which could
have been used as an alternative mechanism for implementing the
transaction.
Joining Roome, Clark and Mr. Chapman on the Bingham legal team
were counsel Neil Devaney and associate Zip Jila; corporate
counsel Brent Salmons and associate Sophie Jermine; tax partner
Stuart Sinclair; and antitrust partner Davina Garrod.
The wider team included Matthew Prest leading Moelis & Company who
acted as the financial advisors to the Committee. Ben Babcock at
Morgan Stanley and Mark Glengarry and Christian Pilkington of
White & Case LLP represented Wind Hellas Telecommunications.
Allen & Overy's Katrina Buckley and Nicholas Clark represented
JPMorgan as bank agent and Randal Weeks, also of Allen & Overy,
represented JPMorgan as Security Agent. Mike Corner-Jones at
Alvarez & Marsal acted as the Chief Restructuring Officer of the
debtor companies.
Over the past 12 months, Bingham's financial restructuring team in
London has advised the mezzanine lenders of Gala Coral and the
bondholders of Independent News & Media on what the Bingham
believes were the two other successful debt-to-control
transactions by subordinated lenders in Europe seen since the
credit crunch took hold. Bingham has also advised creditors on
numerous major European restructurings, including, among others,
European Directories, the Icelandic banks (Landsbanki, Glitnir and
Kaupthing), Head, Monier, Phoenix Pharmahandel, Preem AB, Thomson
and TI Automotive.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on Oct. 25,
2010, Fitch Ratings downgraded Greek mobile operator WIND Hellas
Telecommunications S.A.'s Long term Issuer Default rating to 'RD'
from 'C'. Fitch said the downgrade follows the company's
announcement of the selection of a preferred bidder in the
restructuring of the company's capital base following the
Standstill Agreement entered into with its lenders on June 30,
2010.

GE CAPITAL: Casts Doubt on Ability to Continue Trading
------------------------------------------------------
Laura Noonan at Irish Independent reports that GE Capital has
admitted it may not be able to continue trading after a twenty-
fold increase in bad debts pushed the lender to a EUR51 million
loss.
According to Irish Independent, accounts just filed for GE
Capital's mortgage subsidiary, GE Capital Woodchester Home Loans,
chart the extent of the company's soaring mortgage losses. The
documents show a surge in the company's provisions for "bad and
doubtful debts" -- effectively, the amount of money GE thinks it
will never get back, Irish Independent discloses.
In 2008, the mortgage lender's provisions for "doubtful debts"
came in at just EUR3.4 million -- in 2009, the provisions surged
to more than EUR59.4 million, Irish Independent notes.
The EUR59.4 million of bad debt provisions pushed GE's home loans
division to a EUR51 million loss for 2009 -- leaving the company
with assets worth EUR43 million less than its liabilities, Irish
Independent states.
"These results may cast doubt on the company's ability to continue
as a going concern," the directors admitted, according to Irish
Independent.
Irish Independent says the lender hopes to continue on the back of
support from its parent company.
GE Capital is a sub-prime lender based in Dublin.

* Fitch Assigns 'B+' Rating to City of Kazan's Domestic Bonds
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned the City of Kazan's RUB2 billion
domestic bond (ISIN RU000A0JR688) due December 2014 a final Long-
term local currency rating of 'B+' and a final National Long-term
rating of 'A(rus)'.
The City of Kazan is rated Long-term foreign and local currency
'B+', Short-term foreign currency 'B', and National Long-term
'A(rus)'. The Outlooks on the city's Long-term ratings are

amortized by 15% of the initial bond issue value on December 19,
2011, by 40% on 17 December 2012 and by another 15% on December
16, 2013. The remaining 30% will be redeemed on December 15,
2014. The proceeds from the bond issue will be used to refinance
the maturing debt of the city.
The City of Kazan is the capital of the Tatarstan Republic ('BBB-
'/Stable/'F3') and is located in central Russia. The population
of the city totaled 1.12 million in 2008.

JB'S: Dudley Council May Offer to Acquire Firm as Sale Drags On
---------------------------------------------------------------
Birmingham Mail reports that Dudley Council could step in with an
offer to buy the legendary music venue JB's as the sale saga drags
on into the New Year.
Stourbridge-based administrators John D Travers and Company had
hoped to complete a deal for the rock landmark, in Castle Hill, in
December, according to Birmingham Mail.
JB's was put into administration in October. The report relates
that its owners blamed the smoking ban and cheap supermarket
alcohol.
"Quite frankly, if they can't sell it and the price comes to
something we can reasonably say is worthwhile, we would probably
do something with it," Birmingham Mail quoted Dudley Council's
deputy leader Coun Les Jones as saying.
JB's is a legendary Dudley rock club.
LE MERIDIEN: Royal Bank of Scotland Sells Grosvenor House
---------------------------------------------------------
Nick Johnstone at Property Week reports that Grosvenor House Hotel
has been sold by the Royal Bank of Scotland to Indian business
group Sahara India Pariwar for GBP470 million.
The Indian conglomerate, which is run by Subrata Roy, is
understood to have paid in cash for the hotel, which RBS took
control of Grosvenor House in 2003 when Le Meridien, the previous
hotel operator, fell into administration, according to Property
Week.
The report notes that RBS owned the long lease, and the hotel was
earmarked for sale in a bid to shrink the bank's balance sheet.
Property Week says that Sahara India fought of competition from at
least two other interested parties to secure the deal, including
property investors and developers the Candy brothers, and it now
intends to add restaurants and a nightclub to the iconic hotel.
The Grosvenor, which is currently run by Marriott International,
would be jointly managed by Sahara and Marriott, according to
buyer, the report adds.
Grosvenor House Hotel is located in London. It has 420 rooms, 74
suites and 27 conference rooms, and overlooks Hyde Park.
WESTLER FOOD: Goes Out of Administration
----------------------------------------
Scarborough Evening News reports that scores of jobs have been
saved after Westler Foods was bought out of administration.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Europe on
December 15, 2010, Insider Media Limited said that Westler Foods
has gone into administration after it was unable to finance a
GBP15 million hole in its defined benefit pension scheme. The
report related that Howard Smith and Mark Firmin, of KPMG's
restructuring practice, were appointed as joint administrators on
December 10, 2010, and are seeking a buyer for the business.
Scarborough Evening News discloses that the business, which
employs 162 people at its plant at Amotherby, near Malton, has
been bought by a newly created company, registered as With Comb
Limited, backed by funding from a private equity firm.
The new company, which includes some of the former members of the
management team of Westler Foods, is to continue to trade as
Westler Foods, according to Scarborough Evening News.
The report relates that it will continue with all its existing
operations as well as taking on all the existing staff including
nine staff made redundant earlier this month.
The pensions of employees and former employees were transferred to
the Government's Pension Protection Fund when the business went
into administration, which guarantees 90 to 100% of an employee or
former employee's expected pension, Scarborough Evening News
notes.
Headquartered in Malton, Westler Foods is a food producer company.
The business employs almost 200 people at its Yorkshire site in
the production of a range of canned and pouched food products for
a series of brand names in addition to its own branded foodservice
offerings, including Westlers, Multi Menu, Tyne, BigMex,
Chesswood, Wayfayrer, Military Rations and Compleat.

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/booksto order any title today.
