ARGENTINA: U.S. Judge Threatens Argentina With Contempt
-------------------------------------------------------
Alexandra Stevenson, writing for The New York Times' DealBook,
reported that U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Griesa in Manhattan
told Argentina to cease making "false and misleading" statements
that it did not default on July 30. He added that if Argentina
continued to defy his orders, he would have to consider it in
contempt of court, the report related.
ARGENTINA: Banks Said to Be Arranging Debt Buyer Group
------------------------------------------------------
Erik Schatzker, Katia Porzecanski and Dakin Campbella at Bloomberg
News report that international banks are looking to put together a
group of investors to buy disputed Argentine debt and resolve a
U.S. lawsuit that is blocking the country from servicing any of
its foreign bonds.
The banks are seeking investors willing to purchase bonds left
over from the nation's 2001 default held by firms led by Elliott
Management Corp., said Eduardo Eurnekian, an Argentine billionaire
who has been approached by bankers, according to Bloomberg News.
Bloomberg News notes that while Elliott Management has a court
order for full repayment, a banker familiar with the talks
speculated the New York-based hedge fund would accept a settlement
worth about 80 cents to 85 cents on the dollar.
At stake for the banks, which include Citigroup Inc.(C), is an
opportunity to help Argentina resume payment on its bonds and
regain access to overseas markets, bolstering the value of the
debt and earning good will that could lead to underwriting
business when the country starts issuing notes again, Bloomberg
News discloses. For now, Argentina finds itself back in default,
having been forced to miss a $539 million interest payment last
month on restructured bonds when a U.S. court ruled it couldn't
service those notes without also making good on its $1.5 billion
debt with Elliott and other holdouts, Bloomberg News relays.
"The banks are working to try to bring people closer," Eurnekian,
who runs Corporacion America holding group, which manages
businesses ranging from airports to energy, said in an interview
on Radio Mitre, Bloomberg News discloses. "It's very complex. I
don't know how it gets resolved. It's an issue for lawyers and
financiers. But there's no doubt that we want to fix this," Mr.
Eurnekian said.
JPMorgan, HSBC
In addition to Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), HSBC
Holdings Plc and Deutsche Bank AG (DBK) have also been in
discussions with investors to resolve the dispute, according to a
person familiar with the meetings who asked not to be identified
because the talks are private, Bloomberg News says. The banks are
the four biggest underwriters of Latin American bonds in
international markets this year, according to data compiled by
Bloomberg.
Bloomberg News says that among the incentives for banks and
outside investors to take part in a deal is the impact a
resolution could have on the country's restructured bonds. Those
securities, which were issued in 2005 and 2010 to creditors
holding 93 percent of the defaulted debt, would rally. Not only
would a settlement allow the government to make the blocked
interest payment, but it would clear the way for the country to
start issuing in international markets for the first time since
2001, giving it access to financing to shore up the government's
finances, Bloomberg News relays.
Billionaire's Money
Bloomberg News discloses that the banks may provide financing for
a part of the debt purchases, according to the banker, who asked
not to be identified because the discussions are fluid and subject
to change. The deal has been difficult to complete because the
buyers don't know how much Argentina will eventually pay for the
debt, the person said.
Bloomberg News relays that Mr. Eurnekian said in the radio
interview that he's willing to put up money to reach a deal. Mr.
Eurnekian also said other Argentine companies are willing to help
fund the effort in a bid to keep their businesses from suffering
the fallout from an extended default, Bloomberg News notes.
"It seems like everybody is trying to come up with an idea to
resolve this problem," Bloomberg News quoted Tom Mullen, a partner
at TWM Capital in Westport, Connecticut, which owns Argentine
restructured bonds, as saying. "There is clearly an interest in
getting a solution done but there's so many different twists that
it's going to be difficult," Mr. Mullen said, reports Bloomberg
News.
'Vulture' Funds
The report said Argentine benchmark bonds due 2033 had rallied
3.19 cents on the dollar in the three days through Aug. 8 to 86.18
cents, paring their losses since the July 30 default, on
speculation the banks will manage to pull off a deal. The notes
slipped to 86.17 cents Aug. 9 as of 1:05 p.m. in New York. They
traded at 95.57 cents the day before the default.
Peso forwards showing traders' expectations for the currency in
three months are headed for their biggest weekly increase since
March, climbing 2.3 percent to 8.945 per dollar last week,
Bloomberg News recalls. The official peso was little changed at
8.2712 on Aug. 9.
Bloomberg News discloses that President Cristina Fernandez de
Kirchner, Economy Minister Axel Kicillof and other government
officials call the hedge funds "vultures," saying they prey on
countries in distress and seek massive profits by squeezing
governments through embargo attempts and lengthy litigation.
RUFO Clause
Bloomberg News says that Argentina said it can't pay the holdout
creditors more than the 30 cents on the dollar it gave to
investors who agreed to the two restructurings. Still, Mr.
Kicillof said as recently as Aug. 6 that the government wouldn't
oppose a third-party solution to its dispute, Bloomberg News
relays.
One potential advantage for Argentina of a fix that doesn't
directly involve the government is avoiding having to improve
terms for investors who restructured in 2005 and 2010, Bloomberg
News notes. A rights upon future offers clause, known as RUFO,
that was included as part of the debt restructurings bars the
nation from making a better offer to the holdouts without also
improving terms for those who accepted the original deals,
Bloomberg News relays.
Violating the clause may trigger claims of more than $120 billion,
according to Mr. Kicillof.
Munib Islam, a partner at Third Point LLC, said he's bullish on
Argentina's prospects beginning next year as Pres. Fernandez
leaves office because of term limits and as the government reaches
a resolution in the Elliott case, Bloomberg News adds.
ROMBO COMPANIA: Moody's Assigns B2 Corporate Family Rating
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Latin America Agente de Calificacion de Riesgo has
assigned a B2 corporate family rating (CFR) and a Aa2.ar national
scale corporate family rating to Rombo Compania Financiera S.A.
(Rombo). Moody's has also assigned a (p)B2 global local-currency
debt rating and a Aa2.ar national scale debt rating on the
Argentine national scale to two Rombo's ARS 1,000 million MTN
multicurrency debt programs. To these programs Moody's has also
assigned a (p)Caa1 global scale foreign currency debt rating and a
Baa1.ar national scale foreign currency debt rating. In addition,
Moody's has assigned a global local currency debt rating of B2 and
a national scale local currency debt rating of Aa2.ar to issuances
under the ARS 1,000 million MTN program.
The ratings carry a negative outlook, in line with Moody's
negative outlook on Argentina's Caa1 government bond rating.

(P)B2 Global Local Currency Debt Rating

(P)Caa1 Global Foreign Currency Debt Rating
Baa1.ar Argentina National Scale Foreign Currency Debt Rating
Ratings Rationale
Moody's said that the B2 corporate family rating assigned to Rombo
Compania Financiera is based on a standalone baseline credit
assessment (BCA) of caa1, which receives two notches of uplift
reflecting the assessment of a moderate probability of support
from the company's main parent, RCI Banque International (Baa3,
stable) in case of stress. Rombo is 60% owned by RCI Banque
International and 40% by BBVA Banco Franc‚s (unrated), and
together with RCI Banque International forms the principal
financial arm of its ultimate owner, Renault S.A. (Ba1, stable) in
Argentina.
In assigning the caa1 BCA to Rombo, Moody's noted the company's
monoline business model, its predominantly wholesale funding
structure, and the increasing level of competition within the car-
financing industry in Argentina. These risks are balanced in part
by the company's satisfactory risk management practices that are
aligned to those of its parent companies as well as its adequate
capitalization.
The negative outlook on the company's ratings is in line with the
negative outlook Caa1 rating for Argentina's government bond
rating and incorporates the deteriorating operating environment in
the country, including economic deceleration and high inflation,
that is negatively affecting the business and earnings prospects
of financial companies and banks in Argentina.
Moody's said that the automobile industry in Argentina is
suffering a deceleration of loan growth and revenues because of
the current economic environment. Despite slowing loan growth,
Rombo recorded net income of ARS 55.8 million for the three months
ended March 2014, up from ARS 31.1 million in the prior year
period and earned a solid net interest margin of 5.14%, up from
3.87%. Rombo's cost-income metrics have also improved, declining
to 13.2% as of March 2014 from 18.8% in 2013 and 19.3% in 2012,
reflecting strong cost controls.
However, Moody's expects lending rate caps imposed two months ago
by regulators on auto lending and the heavier tax burden for
automobiles in force since early 2014 to challenge the entity's
business and earnings prospects in the coming quarters.
The company's dependence on wholesale market funding is also a
source of risk as this source is inherently less stable than core
deposit funding. Rombo mainly receives its funding from local
banks and has also issued debt in the domestic market, as in the
case of its peers in the industry. This risk is partly mitigated
by the bank's adequate and improving capitalization, with a Tier 1
ratio of 18.57% as of March 2014, which rose from 14.2% in 2013
and 13.2% in 2012.
While Rombo's nonperforming loan ratio rose to 2.54% as of March
2014 from 1.94% as of year- end 2013, above the 1.4% median for
the rated peers, Moody's noted that it expects it to remain
relatively contained as the company tightens its underwriting
standards amid a more challenging economic environment.
The principal methodology used in this rating was Finance Company
Global Rating Methodology published in March 2012.
Moody's National Scale Credit Ratings (NSRs) are intended as
relative measures of creditworthiness among debt issues and
issuers within a country, enabling market participants to better
differentiate relative risks. NSRs differ from Moody's global
scale credit ratings in that they are not globally comparable with
the full universe of Moody's rated entities, but only with NSRs
for other rated debt issues and issuers within the same country.
NSRs are designated by a ".nn" country modifier signifying the
relevant country, as in ".mx" for Mexico. For further information
on Moody's approach to national scale credit ratings, please refer
to Moody's Credit rating Methodology published in June 2014
entitled "Mapping Moody's National Scale Ratings to Global Scale
Ratings".
TRANSPORTADORA DE GAS: Posts Ps.115MM Net Income in Second Quarter
------------------------------------------------------------------
Transportadora de Gas del Sur S.A. reported a net income of Ps.115
million, or Ps.0.145 per share (Ps. 0.724 per ADS), for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to a net loss of Ps. 20.8
million, or Ps.0.026 per share (Ps. 0.131 per ADS), in the same
period of 2013.
Net income for the first half of 2014 amounted to Ps. 37.3
million, or Ps. 0.047 per share (Ps. 0.235 per ADS), compared with
the net income of Ps.93.3 million, or Ps. 0.117 per share (Ps.
0.587 per ADS) recorded in the same period last year.
The positive variation in the results of the second quarter of
2014 is mainly due to the increase of Ps. 147.8 million in the
operating profit.

BARBADOS: S&P Affirms 'BB-' Sovereign Credit Rating; Outlook Neg.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'BB-' long-term
and 'B' short-term sovereign credit rating on the government of
Barbados. The outlook remains negative.
RATIONALE
The ratings on Barbados reflect its large fiscal deficits and high
debt burden, as well as its limited fiscal flexibility. However,
the country has a stable, predictable, and mature political
system, which benefits from consensus on major economic and social
issues, including support from the private sector and trade unions
for the government's ongoing fiscal and structural adjustment
program.
Barbados' economic fundamentals remain weak, with average annual
real GDP growth of just 0.3% during 2010-2013 (which is slightly
negative on a per capita basis). S&P expects no growth in 2014
and a slow recovery in 2015-2016 based on a pickup in tourism and
construction (in both the private and public sectors). The
government's fiscal adjustment strategy, announced in Dec. 2013,
will constrain domestic demand, raising the importance of
stimulating private investment (especially in tourism projects) to
achieve the projected higher GDP growth averaging 1.5%-2% over the
next several years. With a slow recovery and public-sector
layoffs, unemployment will likely remain high, after reaching
11.7% in 2013.
Standard & Poor's expects the net general government debt burden
to rise to above 80% of GDP in fiscal 2014 (ending March 2015)
from 75% in fiscal 2013 and 67% in fiscal 2012. Barbados uses
more than 15% of general government revenues to pay interest on
its debt.
Including National Insurance Scheme (NIS) surpluses, the general
government deficit rose to 9.7% of GDP in fiscal 2013 from 6.2% in
fiscal 2012. S&P expects the deficit to fall to nearly 7% in
fiscal 2014 as a result of the government's fiscal consolidation
plan, and further to 4.4% in 2015. However, risks remain from the
sluggish outlook for the country's main economic sectors,
especially in the context of the fiscal adjustment program already
underway, high unemployment, and mounting spending pressures.
External pressures remain as well. However, Standard & Poor's
expects the Barbados dollar peg to hold--a key assumption
underpinning Barbados' creditworthiness. The current account
deficit reached over 10% of GDP in 2013, which, in absence of
foreign direct investment and external financing, resulted in
pressures on international reserves. A private placement at the
end of the year and further $75 million in March 2014 helped boost
international reserves. The level of reserves has remained
relatively steady during 2014, and S&P expects it to remain
largely unchanged by year-end and over the next several years
because of S&P's expectations for a lower current account deficit
and increased foreign direct investment. The banking sector has
deleveraged steadily since 2008, and the external debt of the
financial sector fell to $375 million in 2013 from more than $869
million in 2008. S&P assumes this deleveraging has come to an
end.
OUTLOOK
The negative outlook reflects the potential for a downgrade if the
government fails to meet its fiscal adjustment targets or if there
are signs the economy may fail to grow next year--for example,
should planned tourism projects stall--resulting in further
increases in the sovereign's debt and interest burdens. Mounting
external pressures that lead to a decline in reserves could also
lead to a downgrade.
S&P could revise the outlook to stable if the government
significantly reduces its general government fiscal deficits,
leading to a declining debt and interest burden in the next three
years. Better economic growth prospects and a successful fiscal
consolidation program could also lead to a stable outlook.
In accordance with S&P's relevant policies and procedures, the
Rating Committee was composed of analysts that are qualified to
vote in the committee, with sufficient experience to convey the
appropriate level of knowledge and understanding of the
methodology applicable. At the onset of the committee, the chair
confirmed that the information provided to the Rating Committee by
the primary analyst had been distributed in a timely manner and
was sufficient for Committee members to make an informed decision.
After the primary analyst gave opening remarks and explained the
recommendation, the Committee discussed key rating factors and
critical issues in accordance with the relevant criteria.
Qualitative and quantitative risk factors were considered and
discussed, looking at track-record and forecasts. The chair
ensured every voting member was given the opportunity to
articulate his/her opinion. The chair or designee reviewed the
draft report to ensure consistency with the Committee decision.
The views and the decision of the rating committee are summarized
in the above rationale and outlook.

SCRUB ISLAND: FirstBank Puerto Rico Renews Bid to End Exclusivity
-----------------------------------------------------------------
FirstBank Puerto Rico, prepetition secured lender to Scrub Island
Development Group Limited and Scrub Island Construction Limited,
will demonstrate at a hearing later this month in Bankruptcy Court
in Tampa, Florida, why the Debtors' exclusivity periods should be
terminated.
FirstBank on July 24 filed with the Court a request to terminate
the Debtors' exclusive solicitation period as to their First
Amended Joint Plan dated July 11, 2014, or alternatively, to find
that the Debtors' act of filing a bankruptcy-exit plan on July 11
caused the automatic termination of exclusivity, as a matter of
law.
The hearing is set for Aug. 26, 2014, at 9:30 a.m. at Tampa, FL -
Courtroom 8A, Sam M. Gibbons United States Courthouse, 801 N.
Florida Avenue.
According to FirstBank, the Debtors' July 11 Plan is based upon a
"new value," Effective Date contribution of $6 million by existing
shareholders -- including controlling shareholder, Joe Collier --
in exchange for a pre-determined, exclusive, 70% stake in the
Reorganized Debtors -- without any open market test or competitive
bidding in clear violation of Bank of America National Trust and
Savings Association v. 203 North LaSalle Street Partnership, 526
U.S. 434 (1999).
FirstBank said it is the largest creditor in the Debtors' cases,
holding claims against the estates in excess of $120 million, and
liens on substantially all of the Debtors' assets including,
without limitation, the Debtors' principal asset, the Scrub Island
Resort, Spa & Marina located in the British Virgin Islands.
FirstBank's claims against the Debtors arise under certain loan
documents entered into prior to the Petition Date. The Debtors'
obligations to FirstBank are guaranteed by the Debtors'
controlling shareholder and insider, Joe Collier.
March 19 Plan
On March 19, 2014, the Debtors filed a proposed plan and an
accompanying disclosure statement. The March 19 Plan proposed
that the Debtors' existing shareholders would acquire 40% of the
Reorganized Debtors, in exchange for a $6 million "new value"
contribution at closing, without any open market test or
competitive bidding.
On April 18, FirstBank filed a motion seeking termination of the
exclusive solicitation period as to the March 19 Plan. That
request was supplemented on June 24 and 25. FirstBank requested
termination of the Debtors' Solicitation Period for "cause"
pursuant to section 1121(d) of the Bankruptcy Code due to alleged
lack of progress and other factors. The Initial Termination
Motion asserted that the Debtors' act of filing the March 19 Plan
terminated the Exclusive Solicitation Period as a matter of law --
due specifically to its proposed "new value" contribution by
existing shareholders in exchange for equity in the Reorganized
Debtors, without any open market test or competitive bidding, in
violation of LaSalle and certain progeny.
Shortly after the filing of the Initial Termination Motion, upon
motion of the Committee, the Court directed the Debtors,
FirstBank, and the Committee to participate in mediation, during
which time the Exclusive Solicitation Period was extended on a
consensual basis through June 27. On June 24, the Mediation
resulted in an impasse.
On June 24, the Debtors filed an emergency motion seeking an
extension of the Exclusive Solicitation Period as to the March 19
Plan. Although the pendency of the Mediation afforded the Debtors
two months to prepare a response to the arguments raised in the
Initial Termination Motion, FirstBank said the Debtors' Extension
Motion failed to address the separate legal issue of a LaSalle
Termination.
On June 25, the Court held a hearing on, among other things, the
Initial Termination Motion and the Extension Motion. The Court
denied the Initial Termination Motion, and granted the Extension
Motion subject to the Debtors' filing of an amended Plan on or
before July 11.
July 11 Plan
On July 11, the Debtors filed an amended Plan and an accompanying
disclosure statement. FirstBank noted that the alleged funding of
the July 11 Plan consists of a $12.5 million "loan" to SIDG by the
Plan Funder, and a $6 million "contribution" to SIDG by existing
shareholders, both payable on the Effective Date.
According to FirstBank, "nowhere in the July 11 Plan do the
Debtors disclose what their existing shareholders are to receive
in return for this $6 million investment (one would expect it is
not being provided for free). Nor do the Debtors provide even a
form of their alleged Plan Funder Loan Agreement (which is
incumbent upon the Debtors to disclose if it actually exists)."
"Rather, by piecing together various references and material
omissions in the July 11 Disclosure Statement, one arrives at the
logical conclusion: while the Plan Funder receives 100% of the
equity of Reorganized SIDG on the Effective Date on account of its
$12.5 million "loan," upon the Reorganized Debtors' repayment of
the $12.5 million loan to the Plan Funder, the Plan Funder will
retain only 30% of this equity. The remaining 70% of this equity
is to vest automatically with the Debtors' existing shareholders
on account of their $6 million "contribution"," said FirstBank.
FirstBank argues that in LaSalle, the Supreme Court of the United
States ruled that a plan is "doomed" when it purports to vest
reorganized equity with existing shareholders "without extending
an opportunity to anyone else either to compete for that equity or
to propose a competing reorganization plan." While LaSalle arises
in the plan confirmation context, courts applying LaSalle in the
exclusivity context have held that a debtor's act of filing a "new
value" plan causes automatic termination of exclusivity.
FirstBank contends that the Debtors' act of filing of the July 11
Plan compels the same conclusion.
FirstBank also noted that in In re Situation Management Systems,
Inc., which cites LaSalle, Judge Feeney held that debtor's act of
filing a "new value" plan triggered termination of exclusivity
under section 1121(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. In that case, the
largest creditor of a chapter 11 debtor sought termination of the
debtor's exclusive solicitation period because the debtor's
proposed plan "provide[d] for the [d]ebtor to retain [its] assets
with a minimal contribution of new value."
The bank also said that in the 2011 decision of H.G. Roebuck &
Son, Inc. v. Alter Communs., Inc., the Maryland District Court
found the Situation Management Systems decision "instructive,"
concluding that "in order to satisfy the absolute priority rule
and the Supreme Court's mandate in LaSalle, the Bankruptcy Court's
confirmation of the [new value plan] must be reversed and this
case must be remanded with instructions to terminate exclusivity
and to allow competing reorganizations to be filed." In Roebuck,
the debtor proposed a new value plan which "mandate[d] that [its]
existing shareholders . . . must own at least 85 percent of the
equity in the reorganized company"; the plan also specified the
aggregate purchase price for all of the equity interests in the
reorganized debtor. In so ruling, the court framed the relevant
inquiry as whether "the act of filing a new value plan was
sufficient cause to terminate the old equity holders' exclusive
right to file a reorganization plan under the Bankruptcy Code."

* DOMINICAN REP: Exporters Need Measures to Boost Competitiveness
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dominican Today reports that Dominican Exporters Association
(ADOEXPO) president Sadala Khoury said sweeping measures are
needed to improve the sector's competitiveness.
Mr. Khoury said government officials cannot allow a halt to the
progress in competitiveness, which in his view becomes
increasingly difficult with other similar or stronger countries,
according to Dominican Today.
The report notes that Mr. Khoury said officials must be more
proactive in their efforts so the exporters find a level field and
make it easy to take domestic products to foreign markets.
Mr. Khoury affirmed that the capacity to produce and export has
expanded nearly 40 percent in the past four years, notes the
report.
Mr. Khoury said statistics show that exports are one of the main
columns of the country's economic stability and called ADOEXPO "a
strategic ally of the productive sectors and of the Dominican
Government," the report discloses.
Mr. Khoury said the numbers speak clearly. "Between 2010 and
2013, the country exported US$33.6 billion in goods, which shows
that Dominican Republic has managed to remain as an exporting
nation and with a great potential to expand into other markets,
especially towards those with whom we have relations of open
borders," the report quoted Mr. Khoury as saying.
"We hope that sooner than later our authorities understand that
the responsibility to set in motion the so long-awaited one-stop
window rests on his shoulders, a mechanism that will make us more
competitive as a country, which is in collective interest," Mr.
Khoury added, the report notes.

PUERTO RICO: Municipal Bankruptcy Proposed in U.S. House Bill
-------------------------------------------------------------
William Selway and Derek Wallbank, writing for Bloomberg News,
reported that Puerto Rico's government-owned corporations could
file for bankruptcy protection under a bill proposed in the U.S.
House of Representatives by the delegate from the Caribbean
territory, which is struggling to pay $73 billion in debt.
According to the report, Pedro Pierluisi, a Democrat who can
propose legislation but can't vote on it, has introduced the
measure that would let agencies restructure debt in court. The
bill would "enable the Puerto Rico government to authorize its
government-owned corporations to utilize the tried-and-true
Chapter 9 procedure if it becomes necessary, under the expert
supervision of an impartial federal bankruptcy judge," Bloomberg
said, citing Mr. Pierluisi as saying in a statement.

***********
Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA 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-LA constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy
or sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds some position in the
issuers' public debt and equity securities about which we report.
Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
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.
Submissions about insolvency-related conferences are encouraged.
