the Company is the beneficial owner of 1,750,000 shares of common
stock of Achaogen, Inc., representing 5.2% on 33,951,400

December 14, 2016.

A full-text copy of the regulatory filing is available at:

                       https://is.gd/5g0cMT

                           About Achaogen

Achaogen, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
passionately committed to the discovery, development, and
commercialization of novel antibacterials to treat multi-drug
resistant gram-negative infections.  The Company is developing
plazomicin, its lead product candidate, for the treatment of
serious bacterial infections due to MDR Enterobacteriaceae,
including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae.  In 2013, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified CRE as a
"nightmare bacteria" and an immediate public health threat that
requires "urgent and aggressive action."

Achaogen reported a net loss of $27.09 million in 2015, a net loss
of $20.17 million in 2014 and a net loss of $13.11 million in 2013.
As of Sept. 30, 2016, Achaogen had $80.66 million in total assets,
$49.64 million in total liabilities and $31.01 million in total
stockholders' equity.

The Company's independent accounting firm Ernst & Young LLP, in
Redwood City, California, issued a "going concern" qualification on
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31,
2015, citing that the Company's recurring losses from operations

                   About Advanced Micro Devices

Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.,
(NASDAQ:AMD) is a global semiconductor company.  AMD --
http://www.amd.com/-- offers x86 microprocessors, as a standalone
central processing unit (CPU) or as incorporated into an
accelerated processing unit (APU), chipsets, and discrete graphics
processing units (GPUs) for the consumer, commercial and
professional graphics markets, and server and embedded CPUs, GPUs
and APUs, and semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products and
technology for game consoles.

AMD incurred a net loss of $660 million on $3.99 billion of net
revenue for the year ended Dec. 26, 2015, compared to a net loss of
$403 million on $5.50 billion of net revenue for the year ended
Dec. 27, 2014.

                          *     *     *

In September 2016, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'CCC+' corporate
credit rating on Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD.  The outlook is
stable.  In addition, S&P assigned its 'CCC' issue-level rating to
the company's senior unsecured convertible notes due in 2026.  S&P
said the ratings reflect AMD's vulnerable business risk profile:
weak PC industry conditions, intense competition from Intel, and
challenges to grow in targeted enterprise, and embedded and
semi-custom product markets to offset PC business declines.

In September 2016, Moody's Investors Service affirmed AMD's 'Caa1'
corporate family rating and the 'Caa2' rating on the senior
unsecured notes, and revised the rating outlook to positive from
negative.  The speculative grade liquidity rating is upgraded to
SGL-2 from SGL-3.  The positive outlook reflects AMD's prospects
for improved operating performance and cash generation as well as
the improved product portfolio enabling the company to compete in
the current discrete GPUs (graphics processing unit), APUs
(application process units), x86 and ARM CPUs (central processing
unit) market.  Moody's said, "Although we expect ongoing revenue
declines and operating losses in its PC-related business
(microprocessors and graphics chips), the growing EESC (enterprise,
embedded, and semi-custom) business supported by the reported
design wins, we project break even to modest profitability
beginning in the second half of 2016."

In March 2016, Fitch Ratings downgraded and withdrew the ratings
for AMD including the Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to
'CCC' from 'B-'.  Fitch has withdrawn AMD's ratings for commercial
reasons.  The downgrade reflects prospects for negative free cash
flow (FCF) over the intermediate term and the consequent liquidity
issues and refinancing risk that could develop as the 2019 and 2020
debt maturities approach.


AK STEEL: Moody's Hikes Corporate Family Rating to B2
-----------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded AK Steel Corporation's Corporate
Family Rating (CFR) and Probability of Default Rating to B2 and
B2-PD from B3 and B3-PD respectively. At the same time, Moody's
upgraded the senior secured notes to B1 from B2, the senior
unsecured note ratings to B3 from Caa1, the senior secured shelf
ratings to (P)B1 from (P)B2 and the senior unsecured shelf rating
to (P)B3 from (P)Caa1. The SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating
was affirmed. The outlook is stable.

The upgrade acknowledges AK's improved operating performance as it
continues to execute on its strategy to shift its business profile
to more value added business from commodity spot business and
enhance margins. Despite the roughly 15% decrease in shipments in
2016 over 2015, gross and operating profit margins in 2016
(including Moody's standard adjustments) increased to 14.2% and
3.9% from 10% and 2.4% respectively. Based upon the company's
guidance for iron ore consumption in 2017, Moody's expects
shipments to remain relatively flat year- on-year but anticipate
that margin improvement will hold, particularly as automotive
contracts (66% of 2016 shipments) up for renewal get renegotiated
in an improved price environment. The upgrade also reflects the
company's improved debt protection metrics following its 2016
equity issuance of roughly $600 million the proceeds of which,
together with cash flow generation were used to reduce balance
sheet debt to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2016 from $2.4 billion
the prior year. With the improved earnings performance and lower
debt levels, even on a Moody's adjusted basis for pension and
leases, debt protection metrics improved materially with leverage,
as measured by the debt/EBITDA ratio improving to 5.4x at December
31, 2016 from 7.5x in 2015 and 13.5x in 2014. Although Moody's
believe that light vehicle sales levels have peaked and will
modestly contract in 2016 (current expectation is -0.6%), this
important market for AK is expected to remain solid in 2017. Other
key markets such as infrastructure and residential housing are
expect to show improvement as well, albeit slowly, while the
electrical steel markets could face some headwinds. Nonetheless,
Moody's expects AK to continue to achieve margin improvement in
2017, maintain leverage at no more than 5x and continue to be
modestly free cash flow generative, although inventory working
capital build will be necessary to prepare for the Middletown blast
furnace outage in the second half of 2016.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B2 CFR reflects Moody's expectations that the company's
performance will evidence improving trends as it continues to
achieve operating efficiencies and focus on value added products.
With the idling of the Ashland facility, AK Steel has been better
able to more fully utilize its other operating facilities, while
the reduction of commodity product sales into the spot and
distribution markets has boosted profitability, despite the
decrease in shipments. While the B2 CFR also considers AK Steel's
position as a mid-tier steel producer, the company's technological
capabilities and strong customer base are important considerations.
The launch and roll out of the NEXMET high strength steel is
expected to further benefit the company's sales to the automotive
industry over the next several years as that industry looks to
further lightweight vehicles to meet increasingly stringent CAFÉ
requirements. The rating also considers AK's exposure to volatile
input costs, particularly iron ore, but acknowledges the company's
hedging policy, which seeks to mitigate exposure to volatile
movements in iron ore prices. The rating incorporates the
expectation that performance in 2017 will maintain the stronger
metrics achieved in 2016 with potential upside as contract renewals
come up over the course of the year.

The company's business mix, which evidences an improving and
meaningful level of value added products, including coated
(approximately 52% of shipments albeit on a lower shipment basis),
electrical and stainless products, and strong contracted position,
particularly with its automotive customers, are further supporting
factors in the rating.

The SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating reflects Moody's views
that AK Steel will maintain a good liquidity profile over the next
four quarters, particularly following repayment of outstandings
under the ABL and the retention of cash from the October 2016
equity raise. In addition, the repayment of the 2018 notes has
improved the company's debt maturity profile, with the next
maturity being the $150 million convertible exchange notes in
November 2019. The company's liquidity is supported by a $1.5
billion ABL expiring in March 2019 that is guaranteed by AK Steel
Holding Corporation, AK Tube LLC, Mountain State Carbon LLC, and AK
Steel Properties. In addition, the company had $173 million in cash
at December 31, 2016.

The stable outlook captures Moody's expectations that AK Steel will
continue to evidence acceptable debt protection metrics and be free
cash flow generative. The outlook also anticipates that the company
will continue to maintain its focus on value added products and
continue to achieve an improved product mix, particularly as it
rolls out its Advanced High Strength Steels over the next 12- 18
months.

The B1 rating on the company's senior secured notes (secured by
plant, property and equipment), under Moody's loss given default
methodology reflects the instrument's priority position in the
capital structure relative to a considerable amount of unsecured
liabilities below it. The B3 rating on the senior unsecured notes
reflects the junior position of these instruments relative to the
secured notes, the ABL revolver and priority accounts payables.

The rating could be downgraded should the company's liquidity
position deteriorate materially due to weak operating performance
and cash burn, and should the EBIT margin and EBIT/interest ratios
track below 3% and 2x respectively and leverage, as measured by the
debt/EBITDA ratio remain above 5.25x. The rating could be upgraded
should the company be able to sustain an EBIT margin of at least
6%, EBIT/interest of at least 2.5x and debt/EBITDA of no more than
4.5x.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Global Steel
Industry published in October 2012.

Headquartered in West Chester, Ohio, AK Steel Corporation (AK
Steel) ranks as a middle tier integrated steel producer in the
United States, operating steelmaking and finishing plants in
Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The company
also has a tube manufacturing facility in Mexico. AK Steel produces
flat-rolled carbon steels, including coated, cold-rolled and
hot-rolled products, as well as specialty stainless and electrical
steels. Principal end markets include automotive, steel service
centers, appliance, industrial machinery, infrastructure,
construction and distributors and converters. Through its AK Coal
Resources Inc. subsidiary, the company has interests in
metallurgical coal production. Revenues for the twelve months
ending December 31, 2016 were approximately $5.9 billion.

ALTICE US: Moody's Rates Proposed $1.3BB Term Loan B at Ba3
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a Ba3 rating to Altice US
Finance I Corporation's, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cequel
Communications Holdings I, LLC, proposed $1.3 billion term loan B.
Proceeds from the transaction will be used to refinance existing
indebtedness in a leverage neutral transaction. Cequel's B3
corporate family rating (CFR), B3-PD probability of default rating
(PD) and Caa1 senior unsecured rating remain unchanged. The outlook
remains positive, reflecting the company's significant progress
with cost reduction and leverage improvement.

A summary of action follows:

Assignments:

Issuer: Altice US Finance I Corporation

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned Ba3 (LGD2)

RATINGS RATIONALE

Cequel's B3 CFR reflects its high leverage and the parent company's
aggressive financial policy. Offsetting these limiting factors are
Cequel's stable market position with a strong base of network
assets and limited competition within its footprint other than
telco DSL. Notwithstanding the maturity of the core video product,
the relative stability of the subscription business provides steady
cash flow, and the high quality of Cequel's network positions it
well to achieve growth in its residential and commercial businesses
despite escalating competition. The company's penetration lags
behind industry averages, but Moody's expects its high speed data
and phone growth to continue to exceed most peers and views the
planned infrastructure upgrade investment as a credit positive use
of cash that will help Cequel maintain and grow market share.

The positive outlook is based upon Moody's expectations that
leverage will continue to improve as the company progresses on its
cost cutting plan, while maintaining stable market share. Moody's
would consider an upgrade of the B3 CFR if leverage were sustained
below 6.5x (Moody's adjusted), the company maintained or improved
market share, and maintained good liquidity. Moody's could
downgrade Cequel's B3 CFR if leverage were to rise above 8x
(Moody's adjusted), there was a deterioration in liquidity or
material market share erosion.

Cequel's existing debt instrument ratings benefit from the loss
absorption provided by the company's holdco seller PIK notes, of
which $350 million was outstanding as of 9/30/16 and are
subordinate to all rated debt of Cequel. A reduction to the PIK
notes would reduce this loss absorption and could negatively impact
the notching of both the Ba3 secured and Caa1 unsecured ratings.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Pay
Television - Cable and Direct-to-Home Satellite Operators published
in January 2017.

Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, and doing business as
Suddenlink Communications, Cequel Communications Holdings I, LLC
(Cequel) serves approximately 1 million video subscribers, 1.3
million internet subscribers, and 640 thousand telephony
subscribers. The company generated revenues of approximately $2.5
billion for the twelve months ended September 30. On December 21,
2015, Altice Luexmbourg S.A acquired 70% of Cequel.


ALTICE US: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Rating on New $1.265BB Term Loan B
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and '1'
recovery rating to Altice US Finance I Corp.'s proposed
$1.265 billion term loan B.  The '1' recovery rating indicates
S&P's expectation for very high (90%-100%; rounded estimate: 95%)
recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default.

S&P expects proceeds to refinance the existing $815 million term
loan B and to repay a portion of unsecured notes due in 2020.
S&P's 'B-' issue-level and '5' recovery ratings on the company's
unsecured debt are unchanged.  The '5' recovery rating indicates
S&P's expectation for modest (10%-30%; rounded estimate: 10%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.  The 'B' corporate
credit rating and positive outlook on parent Cequel Communications
Holdings I LLC are unchanged because this is a leverage-neutral
transaction.

                         RECOVERY ANALYSIS

Key analytical factors:

   -- S&P's simulated default scenario contemplates a default
      during 2020, primarily due to increased competition from
      streaming alternatives and satellite TV resulting in
      heightened subscriber churn, in conjunction with elevated
      capital spending and a more aggressive financial policy.

   -- S&P assumes that Cequel would reorganize following a payment

      default and have valued the company at 7x expected
      emergence-level EBITDA to determine debtholders' recovery
      prospects.  The 7x multiple is at the high end of the 5x-7x
      range S&P ascribes to cable TV providers given Cequel's
      incumbent market position, with limited fiber competition in

      its markets and higher profit margins than those of its
      peers.

   -- Other key assumptions at default include: The $350 million
      revolver is 85% drawn; LIBOR rises to 2.5%; and all debt
      includes six months of prepetition interest.

Simulated default assumptions:

   -- Simulated year of default: 2020
   -- EBITDA at emergence: $695 million
   -- EBITDA multiple: 7x

Simplified waterfall:

   -- Net emergence value (after 5% administrative costs):
      $4.62 billion
   -- Valuation split in % (obligors/nonobligors): 100/0
   -- Collateral value available to secured creditors:
      $4.62 billion
   -- Secured first-lien debt: $4.24 billion
   -- Recovery expectations: 90%-100% (rounded estimate: 95%)
   -- Total value available to unsecured claims: $387 million
   -- Senior unsecured debt and pari passu claims: $3.01 billion
   -- Recovery expectations: 10%-30% (rounded estimate: 10%)

APOLLO ENDOSURGERY: Reports Fourth Quarter Net Loss of $19.7-Mil.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Apollo Endosurgery, Inc., announced financial results for the
fourth quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

Todd Newton, CEO of Apollo Endosurgery, said, "In 2016, we made
great progress on our strategy to accelerate sales of our
innovative endo-bariatric products and shift our revenue mix toward
this technologically-advanced, less invasive portfolio.  Our
endo-bariatrics success was a result of the introduction of the
ORBERA Intragastric Balloon into the U.S. marketplace and greater
adoption in all markets of the OverStitch endoscopic suturing
system.  ORBERA is the most widely used and studied intra-gastric
balloon in the world with over 220,000 balloons distributed and
more than 230 peer-reviewed clinical publications. When combined
with OverStitch, a revolutionary technology that delivers
full-thickness suturing from a flexible endoscope, our robust
endo-bariatric portfolio delivered strong results in the fourth
quarter and full year.  We also continued to support key customers
of our more mature surgical product portfolio. In 2017, we will
focus on physician education and patient awareness initiatives for
our endo-bariatric products so that we can build upon our 2016
success, while maintaining strong relationships with customers
loyal to our surgical products."

Total revenue in the fourth quarter 2016 was $15.4 million,
compared to $16.5 million in the fourth quarter 2015, a decrease of
7%.  Total revenue in the full year 2016 was $64.9 million,
compared to $67.8 million in the full year 2015, a decrease of 4%.
The decline in total revenue in the fourth quarter and full year
2016 reflect an expected decline in Surgical product sales due to a
decline in gastric banding procedures, substantially offset by the
performance in endo-bariatric product sales due to the U.S.
commercial launch of ORBERA following FDA approval in August 2015,
increased OverStitch sales, and the start of Brazil direct sales
activity in November 2015.

Endo-bariatric sales in the fourth quarter 2016 were $7.6 million,
an increase of 26% compared to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter
2015.  By geography, fourth quarter endo-bariatric sales increased
9% in the U.S. and 50% internationally.  Fourth quarter 2016
endo-bariatric sales in the U.S. faced a challenging comparison to
the fourth quarter of 2015, which included an elevated level of
ORBERA stocking orders associated with physician training programs
following the product's August 2015 FDA approval.  Endo-bariatric
sales in the full year 2016 were $31.9 million, an increase of 86%
compared to $17.1 million in the full year 2015.  By geography,
full year endo-bariatric sales increased 70% in the U.S. and 105%
internationally.

Surgical sales in the fourth quarter 2016 were $7.7 million,
compared to $10.4 million in the fourth quarter 2015.  Surgical
sales in the full year 2016 were $32.5 million, compared to $47.6
million in the full year 2015.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2016 was 62%, compared to 68%
for the fourth quarter 2015.  Gross margin for the full year 2016
was 61%, compared to 70% for the full year 2015.  Cost of sales
included inventory impairment charges of $0.4 million and $3.8
million for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively,
related to excess inventory transferred from Allergan in June 2016
as required under the companies' manufacturing services agreement.
Excluding the impact of inventory impairment charges, gross margin
was 64% in the fourth quarter 2016 and 67% for the full year 2016.
Total operating expenses were $17.2 million in the fourth quarter
2016, compared to $14.4 million in the fourth quarter 2015.  Total
operating expenses were $60.4 million in the full year 2016,
compared to $64.0 million in the full year 2015.  Fourth quarter
and full year 2016 operating expenses include $2.3 million and $3.6
million, respectively, of transaction costs associated with the
Lpath merger.

Interest expense for the fourth quarter and the full year 2016
includes $8.7 million of non-cash interest expense due to the
resolution of contingent beneficial conversion features related to
the Company's convertible notes upon their conversion to common
stock at the closing of the reverse merger with Lpath.

Net loss for the fourth quarter 2016 was $19.7 million compared to
$5.4 million for the fourth quarter 2015.  Net loss for the full
year 2016 was $41.2 million compared to $27.4 million for the full
year 2015.  

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $20.0 million as of
Dec. 31, 2016.

On Dec. 29, 2016 the Company completed its reverse merger with
Lpath and began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under the
symbol "APEN" on Dec. 30, 2016.  Concurrent with the closing of the
merger, Apollo's stockholders invested $29.0 million of new equity
in the combined company, of which $11.0 million was used to pay
down a portion of the principal balance of the Company's senior
secured credit facility with Athyrium Opportunities II Acquisition
LP ("Athyrium"), due February 2020.

On March 7, 2017 Apollo entered into an additional amendment with
Athyrium to modify the terms of its senior secured credit facility.
As part of the new amendment, the minimum cash balance requirement
of $8.0 million was eliminated and Apollo made an additional
principal repayment of $7.0 million.  In conjunction with the
amendment, Athyrium waived all prepayment premiums and exit fees on
the $7.0 million principal repayment and Apollo's exposure to
certain financial covenants of the senior secured credit facility
was reduced.

ARAMARK SERVICES: Moody's Hikes Rating on Sr. Unsec. Bond to Ba3
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Aramark Services, Inc.'s senior
unsecured debt to Ba3 from B1, as well as its Speculative Grade
Liquidity ("SGL") rating to SGL-1 from SGL-2, while also assigning
Ba3 ratings to its proposed senior unsecured notes due 2025. The
other credit ratings were affirmed; the Corporate Family rating
("CFR") was affirmed at Ba2, the Probability of Default rating
("PDR") at Ba2-PD and the senior secured at Ba1. The rating outlook
remains stable.

The net proceeds of the proposed senior unsecured notes, along with
funds from its previously-announced proposed multi-currency
revolving credit facility due 2022, multi-currency term loan A due
2022, Japanese yen term loan C due 2022 and U.S. dollar term loan B
due 2024, will be used to repay existing indebtedness and add cash
to the balance sheet.

Affirmations:

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Affirmed Ba1 (LGD3)

Outlook:

-- Outlook, Remains Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

The upgrade of Aramark's senior unsecured ratings to Ba3 from B1 is
driven by the reduced proportion of senior secured to total debt in
its capital structure pro forma for the announced financing
transactions.

Aramark's Ba2 CFR reflects Moody's expectations of debt to EBITDA
around 4 times, low single digit revenue growth (on a constant
currency basis) and slowly improving profitability, with EBITA
margins expected around 6.5%. Moody's considers Aramark's business
stable and predictable, with long term contracts and fixed asset
investments providing high revenue visibility and meaningful
competitive barriers. The reversal in 2016 of declines in
profitability experienced in 2014 and 2015, when EBITA margins were
down by about 100 basis points to 5.3%, provides support for
Moody's expectations for ongoing, albeit gradual, profit increases
in fiscal 2017 (ends September). Business risks include labor
tightness in Aramark's core US market, working capital seasonality
and competition from larger companies in the food and related and
uniform services markets. Revenue growth will be driven by modest
price increases with existing customers, new client additions and
new products. Growth in free cash flow will be aided by management
and business process improvement initiatives. Investments in
capital expenditures associated with new and expanded contracts and
expected share repurchase activity could slow the pace of debt
reduction.

The upgrade of the SGL rating to SGL-1 from SGL-2 reflects the
increased size and flexibility of external liquidity from the $1
billion multi-currency (U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro and
Sterling) revolver, up from $730 million in its U.S. and Canadian
revolvers, and Moody's expectations for sustained free cash flow
improvements. Very good liquidity is provided by about $300 million
of anticipated free cash flow, cash balances expected to be at
least $100 million and significant availability under revolving
credit and receivables securitizations facilities, which Moody's
anticipates will be used seasonally.

All financial metrics cited reflect Moody's standard analytical
adjustments.

The Ba3 (LGD5) rating on the senior unsecured bonds reflects the
Ba2-PD PDR and their priority in Moody's waterfall of claims at
default behind all of its senior secured claims and certain trade
claims.

The stable ratings outlook reflects Moody's expectations for some
revenue growth and EBITA margins around 6.5%. The ratings could be
upgraded if Moody's expects Aramark will: 1) sustain: debt to
EBITDA below 3.5 times; 2) improve free cash flow; and 3) commit to
conservative financial policies. The ratings could be downgraded
if, as a result of some combination of poor results from
operations, acquisitions or shareholder-friendly actions, Moody's
expects: 1) revenue growth to slow; 2) EBITA margins to remain
below 6%; or 3) debt to EBITDA to be maintained around 4.5 times.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Service Industry published in October 2016.

Aramark is a provider of food and related services to a broad range
of institutions and is the second largest provider of uniform and
career apparel in the United States. Moody's expects fiscal 2017
(ending September) revenue to approach $15 billion.



ARAMARK SERVICES: S&P Rates $600MM Sr. Unsec. Notes 'BB+'
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB+' issue rating to
Philadelphia–based Aramark Service Inc.'s proposed $600 million
senior unsecured notes due 2025 with a '4' recovery rating,
reflecting S&P's expectation for average (30%-50%; rounded estimate
40%) recovery in the event of a payment default.  S&P expects the
company will use the net proceeds from the proposed issuance to
repay the remainder of its 5.75% senior notes due 2020 and a
portion of the term loan due 2021.  S&P's ratings assume the
transaction closes on substantially the terms provided to it. Total
debt outstanding pro forma for the proposed transaction is about
$5.5 billion.

All of S&P's existing ratings on the company, including S&P's 'BB+'
corporate credit rating, 'BBB-' senior secured debt ratings, and
'BB+' senior unsecured note ratings, are unchanged by the
transaction.  The outlook is stable.

S&P's ratings on Aramark incorporate the company's leading (though
not dominant) position in the competitive and fragmented food and
support services market and its sizable business with customers in
relatively stable service segments (particularly heath care,
education, and corrections), which S&P believes translates into
consistent profitability.  S&P's ratings also incorporate Aramark's
high client retention rates and moderate geographic diversity.  S&P
believes the company has a generally good reputation as an
efficient operator and could benefit from potential industrywide
growth in outsourcing.  S&P forecasts debt to EBITDA in the mid-3x
area in fiscal 2017 and 2018, and funds from operations to debt in
the high-teens percentage area in 2017 and 2018.

ASCENA RETAIL: S&P Affirms 'BB-' CCR & Revises Outlook to Negative
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on the Mahwah, N.J.-based
specialty retailer Ascena Retail Group Inc. to negative from
stable.  At the same time, S&P affirmed all ratings, including the
'BB-' corporate credit rating.

"The negative outlook incorporates our belief that the operating
environment for specialty retail apparel will remain weak for a
protracted period and that Ascena's operating metrics could further
weaken as a result," said credit analyst Mathew Christy. "We think
the continued decline in comparable-store sales and customer
traffic is endemic of ongoing structural changes in specialty
apparel industry, characterized by uneven operating results and
lower sales.  In addition, we think Ascena could grow more reliant
on promotional events to drive customer traffic, as evidenced by
the results in the fiscal second quarter, which could further
pressure EBITDA margins and cash flow generation."

S&P's negative outlook reflects a one-in-three chance it could
lower the corporate credit rating in the next 12 months.  S&P
believes negative customer traffic trends and the highly
promotional operating environment will persist and expect a
continued decline in sales, EBITDA, and operating metrics.  S&P's
base-case assumes credit measures will remain around 3.6x, similar
to trailing-12-month levels as EBITDA declines are offset by some
debt repayment with free cash flow.

S&P could lower the rating if comparable-store sales and customer
traffic continue to decline while promotional activity remains
elevated and sales deleveraging increases, all of which would
likely result in S&P's reassessment of the company's business risk.
Under such a scenario, sales would likely continue to decline at a
mid-single-digit rate and margins would fall by 100 bps or more,
leading to adjusted leverage about 4x or more with no meaningful
debt repayment.

S&P could revise the outlook back to stable if the company
demonstrates a stabilization in operating metrics such that
comparable-store sales and customer traffic trends improve while
the reliance on promotional activity subsidies.  Under such a
scenario, S&P would expect sales to be flat to up modestly and for
margins to stabilize or improve, resulting in debt to EBITDA of
3.5x or less.

In November 2016, S&P Global Ratings lowered its corporate credit
rating on home infusion services provider BioScrip Inc. to 'CCC'
from 'CCC+' and revised the outlook to developing from stable.
"The downgrade reflects our belief that the company could face a
liquidity event within 12 months if it is unable to rapidly improve
profitability; moreover, given the company's lowered guidance, its
meaningful EBITDA shortfall in the third quarter, and its pattern
of falling short of its expectations, our confidence in the
company's ability to execute on its cost-cutting and other
strategic initiatives is limited," said credit analyst Elan Nat.

In March 2016, Moody's Investors Service downgraded BioScrip's
Corporate Family Rating to 'Caa2' from 'Caa1' and Probability of
Default Rating to 'Caa2-PD' from 'Caa1-PD'.

CATASYS INC: Expands OnTrak Program to Plan Members in Illinois
---------------------------------------------------------------
Catasys, Inc., and Health Alliance Medical Plans announced they are
expanding the OnTrak Program to Health Alliance individual and
public marketplace plan members in Illinois.  OnTrak provides
support and guidance to members struggling with both medical and
behavioral conditions, including depression, anxiety and substance
use disorders.

"Our goal is to support all of our members to become healthier.  We
know a portion of our members struggle with medical and behavioral
challenges.  A little over a year ago, we started offering the
OnTrak program to members to give them the support they need.  The
results have been dramatic.  Members have not only gotten healthier
and spent less time in the hospital, but are reporting better
family relationships, return to activities they enjoy and overall
better wellbeing," said John P. Beck, MD, FAPA, Health Alliance
vice president and associate chief medical officer.  He is also
Behavioral Health Committee chairman.

"Our experience with OnTrak has led us to expand the program and
its benefits to more members with anxiety, depression and substance
use disorders alongside chronic medical conditions, such as
diabetes, heart disease and pulmonary disease, Dr. Beck
continued."

The benefits of the partnership are multifaceted.

"Health Alliance has been a great partner, and we are pleased that
we have been able to assist them with their members," said Rick
Anderson, Catasys president and COO.  "Health Alliance has been on
the forefront of recognizing the needs of this underserved
population, and we are thrilled to work with them to expand on the
success we have seen so far."

deficit of $24.58 million.

Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP, in Encino, California, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, citing that the Company has continued
to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from
operations during the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, and continues to
have negative working capital at Dec. 31, 2015.  These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern.


CENTRAL GARDEN: Moody's Hikes CFR to Ba3; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Central Garden & Pet Company's
Corporate Family Rating to Ba3 from B1, and Probability of Default
Rating to Ba3-PD from B1-PD. The upgrade is due to the company's
improved operating performance and credit metrics, and Moody's view
that the improvements will continue in the near-to-mid term. The
outlook is stable.

"The upgrade reflects Moody's views that company's strategy of
managing its cost structure and targeting acquisitions in its pet
business is paying off," said Kevin Cassidy, Senior Credit Officer
at Moody's. "This is evidenced by higher margins, increased cash
flow, and better credit metrics," added Cassidy.

Ratings upgraded:

Corporate Family Rating to Ba3 from B1;

Probability of Default Rating to Ba3-PD from B1-PD;

$400 million senior unsecured notes due November 2023 to B1 (LGD
4) from B2 (LGD 5);

Rating affirmed:

Speculative grade liquidity rating at SGL 2

RATINGS RATIONALE

Central Garden's Ba3 Corporate Family Rating reflects its solid
leverage at around 2.5 times (Moody's adjusted) and good operating
performance, but thin yet improving EBIT margins. The rating is
supported by the company's strong market position in pet and lawn &
garden, good size with revenue around $2.0 billion, solid brand
recognition among consumers and moderate financial policies. The
ratings are constrained by the seasonality of earnings and cash
flows, weather dependency, exposure to volatile raw materials
prices, the somewhat discretionary nature of its products and by
its highly concentrated customer base.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's view that Central Garden will
remain a moderately sized company, operating in a specialized,
niche market, and maintain solid credit metrics.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company is able to achieve
most of its expected cost savings and meaningfully improve
earnings, cash flow and credit metrics. Sustained credit metrics
(outside of seasonal borrowings) necessary for an upgrade include
debt/EBITDA below 2 times and a meaningful increase in revenue.

The ratings could be downgraded if Central's operating performance
and/or credit metrics deteriorate. Credit metrics (outside of
seasonal borrowings) that could result in a downgrade include
debt/EBITDA sustained above 3 times.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was that for the
Global Packaged Goods published in January 2017.

Headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, Central Garden & Pet
Company manufactures branded products and distributes third-party
products in the lawn and garden and pet supplies industries in the
United States. Products and brands include Pennington grass seed
and wild bird feed, AMDRO fire ant control bait, Rebel grass seed,
and the Eliminator private label for Wal-Mart in the Garden
Products Group. The Pet Products group includes Kaytee wild bird,
pet bird and small animal supplies, Nylabone dog bones and treats,
Four Paws supplies for cats and dogs, Farnam equine supplies,
Oceanic, Aqueon and Zilla produce aquatics supplies and aquarium in
the Pet Products group. Sales approximated $2,0 billion.


CHESAPEAKE ENERGY: Fitch Withdraws B- LT Issuer Default Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed and for commercial reasons withdrawn the
ratings for Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK) as follows:

-- Long-Term IDR at 'B-';
-- Senior secured bank facility at 'BB-/RR1';
-- Senior secured term loan at 'BB-/RR1';
-- Senior secured second lien notes at 'B+/RR2';
-- Senior unsecured notes at 'B-/RR4';
-- Convertible preferred stock at 'CCC/RR6'.

The Rating Outlook has been revised to Positive from Negative.

The Positive Outlook reflects Fitch's expectation that following
Chesapeake's improved maturity runway, the company will continue to
execute asset sales to fund free cash flow (FCF) shortfall and
re-establish operational momentum in an improving oil and gas price
environment. However, Fitch recognizes that execution risk remains
with Chesapeake's ability to generate and preserve FCF.

Fitch reserves the right in its sole discretion to withdraw or
maintain any rating at any time for any reason it deems
sufficient.

About $10.9 billion of debt is affected by today's rating actions.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

IMPROVED MATURITIES PROFILE

The company has successfully executed balance sheet-enhancing
transactions in 2016 and early 2017. These include raising capital
in the term loan and high yield bond markets to term-out its
maturity schedule through re-financings, capex cuts, and asset
sales, to reduce historically high cash-burn, and limit reliance on
the revolver.

Although these transactions have not materially reduced balance
sheet principal debt amounts, the improved maturities profile and
reduced pressure on near-term refinancing risk supports balance
sheet and operational flexibility.

BENEFITS OF SCALE AND OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS

Chesapeake's ratings reflect its considerable size and scale with
the potential for more liquids-focused production, substantial
asset base (6.2 million net acres as of Dec. 31, 2016),
constructive midstream renegotiations, and strong operational
execution and improving cost profile. From 2015 to 2016, production
costs declined 28% from $4.22/boe to $3.05/boe, while gathering,
processing and transportation costs declined by approximately 7% in
the same period.

CASH-BURN TO CONTINUE

Fitch expects cash-burn to continue during the forecast period
driven by the continued loss of operational momentum from 2016 into
2017 reflecting the impact of asset divestitures, and reduced capex
budget, which ended at a historical low point of $1.6 billion in
2016 relative to $3.2 billion in 2015. In addition, legacy onerous
midstream obligations, which are slowly being worked down, still
remain high and a natural gas weighted profile results in lower
netbacks per barrel of oil equivalent basis relative to liquid
peers. Fitch believes that the declining inventory of drilled but
uncompleted wells could necessitate increases in capital spending
over the next one to two years to support production momentum.

LIQUIDITY

Cash and cash equivalents as of Dec. 31, 2016 were $882 million.
Additional liquidity is provided by Chesapeake's amended senior
secured credit facility due in 2019 which had a borrowing base of
$3.8 billion as of Dec. 31, 2016. There are currently no borrowings
outstanding under the revolver. That said, year-end 2016 borrowing
capacity was $2.75 billion, net of outstanding letters of credit
and the supersedeas bond with respect to the 2019 Notes litigation.
The next redetermination date is in June 2017, and Fitch expects
the company to retain close to the same borrowing base, all else
equal, supported by the 14% increase in year end 2016 proved
reserves, which could counteract the impact of asset sales.

HEDGE PROFILE

Chesapeake continues to proactively protect cash-flow volatility
with mid-point of total production 71% hedged in 2017 for natural
gas production comprising 68% of swaps at $3.07/Mcf and 3% of
natural gas production hedged with collars at $3.00 - $3.48/Mcf.
68% of oil production is hedged using swaps at a price of
$50.19/barrel, and the company has minimally hedged NGL exposure at
7% with ethane swaps at $0.28/gallon. For 2018, Chesapeake plans
120Bcf of natural gas production hedged with swaps at an average
price of $3.13/Mcf and approximately 47 Bcf hedged in 2018 with
collars at an average price of $3.00 - $3.25/Mcf.

COMPLIANCE WITH AMENDED MAINTAINANCE COVENANTS

Financial covenants have been suspended until September 2017, with
the exception of the interest coverage ratio. The revised interest
coverage ratio covenant is 0.65x through March 2017, 0.70x through
June 2017, and reverting to 1.20x in September 2017 and 1.25x
thereafter. Other customary covenants across other debt instruments
restricts the ability to incur additional liens, make restricted
payments, and merge, consolidate, or sell assets, and change of
control provisions. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement,
Chesapeake has the ability to incur secured debt up to $2.5
billion. Total unused secured debt availability is $1 billion
following the August 2016 issuance of the $1.5 billion Term Loan.
Fitch expects Chesapeake to be in compliance with the amended
covenants during the forecast period.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Fitch's key assumptions within the rating case for Chesapeake
include:

-- Base case WTI oil price that trends up from $50/barrel in
    2017, $52.5/barrel in 2018, $57.5/barrel in 2019 and long-term

    price deck of $62.5/barrel;

-- Base case Henry Hub gas prices that trends up from $2.75/Mcf
    in 2017, $3.00/Mcf in 2018 and in 2019, and long -term price
    of $3.25/Mcf;

-- Production of approximately 547 mboe/day in 2017 in line with
    mid-point guidance, and gradual recovery in operational
    momentum through the forecast period;

-- Liquids mix of 27% in 2016 and increasing during the forecast
    period;

-- $2.2 billion capex in 2017 and ramping up to support
    forecasted growth plans in a rising price environment;

-- Continued suspension of common dividends, and re-instatement
    of preferred dividends.

B1 corporate family rating (CFR), B1-PD probability of default
rating (PD), and B3 senior unsecured rating remain unchanged. The
company's B2 senior unsecured rating at CSC Holdings LLC also
remains unchanged. The outlook remains stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Cablevision's B1 corporate family rating (CFR) reflects its high
leverage, parent company's aggressive financial policy, and
significant business risk inherent in its cost cutting strategy.
Moody's estimates Cablevision's leverage was approximately 7x
(debt-to-EBITDA, Moody's adjusted), which is high relative to the
B1 rating and amplifies risk for a company in a capital intensive,
competitive industry. Management has proposed $450 million of
annual run-rate cost savings, which Moody's expects to occur over
an 12-18 month timeline. Pro forma for these savings, leverage
would be in the mid 6x (Moody's adjusted) range. Moody's believe
that the company will quickly reduce costs and realize meaningful
savings which will result in falling leverage. However, if the cost
cuts drive too fast a pace of organizational change and headcount
reduction, this could result in disruptions to Cablevision's
service quality and lead to market share erosion. This business
risk, combined with the elevated financial risk from the debt
raised to fund the transaction are reflected in the B1 corporate
family rating.

Offsetting these limiting factors are Cablevision's strong market
position with a quality base of network assets and favorable
demographics within its footprint. Moody's expects leverage to fall
to around 6x (Moody's adjusted) by the end of 2018 from around 8x
(Moody's adjusted) at deal close. Moody's projects free cash flow
as a percentage of debt to remain in the low single digit range
over this time frame, primarily as a result of higher interest
expense offsetting a reduction in capital intensity and elimination
of dividends. Cablevision competes head to head with Verizon's FiOS
service in about half of its urban footprint. Moody's views FiOS as
a competitive product offer and expect Verizon to gain market share
if Cablevision stumbles operationally. However, Cablevision's
industry leading market share reflects solid operating performance,
despite weak overall industry video subscriber trends. Moody's
expects broadband and small business segment results to remain
strong and Cablevision to retain its current market share
position.

The stable outlook is based upon Moody's expectations that leverage
will decline towards 6x over the next 12-18 months. The outlook
also reflects Moody's views that Cablevision will continue to
generate positive free cash flow and maintain good liquidity.
Moody's would consider an upgrade of the B1 CFR if leverage were
sustained below 5x (Moody's adjusted), free cash flow as a
percentage of debt was above 5%, and market share, as well as
liquidity, were maintained or improved. Moody's would consider a
downgrade of the B1 CFR if leverage is not on track to fall below
6x (Moody's adjusted) by year end 2018, liquidity were to become
constrained, or market share materially erodes.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Global Pay
Television - Cable and Direct-to-Home Satellite Operators published
in January 2017.

Headquartered in Bethpage, New York, Cablevision Systems
Corporation (Cablevision) serves approximately 2.6 million video
customers, 2.8 million high speed data customers, and 2.2 million
voice customers in and around the New York metropolitan area.
Cablevision is the direct parent of CSC Holdings, LLC (CSC), which
also owns Newsday LLC, the publisher of Newsday and other niche
publications. Revenue for LTM March 31, 2016 was approximately $6.5
billion. Upon the approval of the New York PUC, Altice N.V will
acquire 70% equity interest of Cablevision.


CSC HOLDINGS: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Rating on $3BB Term Loan B
----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and '1'
recovery rating to Bethpage, N.Y.-based CSC Holdings LLC's proposed
$3 billion term loan B due in 2025.  The '1' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation for very high (90%-100%; rounded
estimate: 95%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.

S&P expects proceeds from the term loan to refinance the remaining
balance on the company's $2.5 billion term loan B and repay a
portion of the $900 million unsecured notes due in 2017.  S&P's
'B-' issue-level and '5' recovery ratings on the company's
unsecured debt are unchanged.  The '5' recovery rating indicates
S&P's expectation for modest (10%-30%; rounded estimate: 10%)
recovery in the event of a payment default.  The 'B' corporate
credit rating and stable outlook are unchanged because this is a
leverage-neutral transaction.

                          RECOVERY ANALYSIS

Key analytical factors:

   -- S&P's default scenario contemplates a default resulting from

      a revenue decline in its cable operations as a result of
      accelerated pricing pressure and competition, primarily from

      Verizon Communications Inc.'s FiOS triple-play service.
      Increased price-based competition in the company's existing
      markets, lower revenues per customer, and a reduced
      subscriber base would result in a decline in simulated
      EBITDA to a level below the minimum required to service
      Cablevision's fixed charges (principally interest expense,
      capital expenditures, and scheduled debt amortization).

   -- S&P believes that if Cablevision defaulted, it would retain
      a viable business model, fueled by continued demand for
      cable TV, data, and voice services, in addition to the
      strong demographics of its service territory and well
      clustered operations.  Therefore, S&P believes that lenders
      would achieve the greatest recovery value through a
      reorganization of the borrower rather than through
      liquidation.  S&P has valued the company at 6x emergence
      EBITDA, which is lower than the 7x multiple S&P uses for
      Cequel Communications (which operates in a less competitive
      market) and Charter Communications (which has greater scale
      and footprint).
   -- Other assumptions at default include: the revolver is 85%
      drawn; LIBOR rises to 2.5%; the spread on the revolver rises

      to 5% as covenant amendments are obtained; all debt includes

      six months of prepetition interest.

Simulated default assumptions:
   -- Simulated year of default: 2020
   -- EBITDA at emergence: $1.47 billion
   -- EBITDA multiple: 6x

Simplified waterfall:
   -- Net enterprise value (after 5% in administrative costs):
      $8.36 billion
   -- Collateral value available to secured creditors:
      $8.36 billion
   -- Secured first-lien claims: $5.01 billion
      -- Recovery expectations: (90%-100%; rounded estimate: 95%)
   -- Guaranteed bonds: $2.38 billion
      -- Recovery expectations: (90%-100%; rounded estimate: 95%)
   -- Value available to unsecured creditors: $966 million
   -- Unsecured claims: $7.18 billion
      -- Recovery expectations: (10%-30%; rounded estimate: 10%)
   -- Subordinated claims: $2.38 billion

DELTA AIR: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Rating on Proposed Sr. Unsec. Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB+' issue-level rating and '4'
recovery rating to Delta Air Lines Inc.'s proposed senior unsecured
notes.  The '4' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for
average (30%-50%; rounded estimate: 45%) recovery in a default
scenario.

Delta plans to use the proceeds from these notes to fund its
underfunded pension plans.  Accordingly, S&P do not believe that
the addition of these notes will materially affect its recovery
expectations for the company in a default scenario.  S&P used a
going-concern discrete asset valuation in its recovery analysis on
Delta.

S&P's '1' recovery rating on Delta's Atlantic routes secured senior
revolving credit facility and term loan B facilities and its
Pacific routes secured revolving credit and term loan facilities
remains unchanged, indicating S&P's expectation of very high
(90%-100%; rounded estimate: 95%) recovery in a payment default
scenario.

S&P's recovery ratings on Delta's Atlantic and Pacific route credit
and term loan facilities reflect their relative priority to the
underlying collateral that secures them and the valuation dynamics
of the routes and aircraft.

DOLLAR TREE: Moody's Raises Corporate Family Rating to Ba1
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded Dollar Tree Inc.'s Corporate
Family Rating to Ba1 from Ba2 and its probability of default rating
to Ba1-PD from Ba2-PD. Moody's also affirmed Dollar Tree's
speculative grade liquidity rating at SGL-1. Additionally Moody's
upgraded the rating of the company's senior secured bank credit
facilities and the Family Dollar legacy notes to Baa3 from Ba1 and
also upgraded the company's senior unsecured notes to Ba2 from Ba3.
The outlook is remains positive.

The upgrade reflects Moody's assessments that the integration of
the acquired Family Dollar operations and store base has been
smooth and in line with Moody's expectations. The upgrade also
reflects the consistent and sustained improvement in credit metrics
through increased EBITDA generation and debt prepayments. The
company prepaid $990 million of debt in fiscal 2017 on top of a
previous $1 billion prepayment in fiscal 2016.

"Dollar Tree's strong operating performance and cash flow
generation demonstrates that the integration of Family Dollar
stores is continuing as planned", Moody's Vice President Mickey
Chadha stated. "The company's business model is resonating with
consumers as it continues to grow its top-line and margins and
simultaneously strengthen its balance sheet through debt
prepayments", Chadha further stated.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Dollar Tree's Ba1 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's
sizable scale and its fixed and multi-price point product
offerings. Moody's views the dollar store sector favorably and
expects that it will continue to grow given its low price points
and convenient locations especially for cash constrained consumers.
Moody's expects Dollar Tree's credit metrics to improve in the next
12 months with debt/EBITDA getting to around 3.5 times as the
company fully integrates its acquisition of Family Dollar,
maintains same store sales growth, increases profitability and
repays debt. Moody's believes that operating performance of the
Family Dollar store base will continue to improve as management
implements strategies to streamline sourcing and procurement,
optimize product offerings, improve traffic and increase sales of
higher margin variety and seasonal products in Family Dollar stores
while also increasing the higher margin private label penetration
in the Family Dollar stores. Operating efficiencies and strategic
initiatives to minimize costs are also expected to reduce expenses
and improve cash flow generation of the combined company. Ratings
are also supported by the company's very good liquidity.

The following ratings are upgraded:

Corporate Family Rating to Ba1 from Ba2

Probability of Default Rating to Ba1-PD from Ba2-PD

Senior secured bank credit facilities to Baa3 (LGD2) from Ba1
(LGD2)

Family Dollar legacy senior secured notes to Baa3 (LGD2) from Ba1
(LGD2)

Senior unsecured notes to Ba2 (LGD5) from Ba3 (LGD5)

The following ratings are affirmed :

Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating at SGL-1

Dollar Tree's positive outlook reflects Moody's expectation that
the company's credit metrics will remain strong and demonstrate
consistent and sustained improvement through increased EBITDA
generation and debt repayments.

A ratings upgrade will require financial policies and capital
structure consistent with an investment grade rating. An upgrade
will also require a sustained positive same store sales growth,
debt/EBITDA sustained below 3.5 times, EBIT/interest sustained
above 4.0 times, and very good liquidity.

Ratings could be downgraded if debt/EBITDA is sustained above 4.25
times and EBIT/interest is sustained below 3.25 times. Ratings
could also be downgraded if liquidity deteriorates or if financial
policies become aggressive.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Retail Industry
published in October 2015.

Dollar Tree, operated 14,334 stores across 48 US states and five
Canadian provinces as of January 28, 2017. Stores operate under the
brands of Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and Dollar Tree Canada.
Revenue is about $20.7 billion as of fiscal year end January 28,
2017.

ECLIPSE RESOURCES: Reports 2016 Net Loss of $203.8 Million
----------------------------------------------------------
Eclipse Resources Corporation filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net
loss of $203.80 million on $235.03 million of total revenues for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of $971.4
million on $255.3 million of total revenues for the year ended Dec.
31, 2015.

The Company's balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2016, showed $1.190 billion
in total assets, $651.1 million in total liabilities and $546.7
million in total stockholders' equity.

"Our main sources of liquidity and capital resources are internally
generated cash flow from operations, asset sales and access to the
debt and equity capital markets.  We must find new and develop
existing reserves to maintain and grow our production and cash
flows.  We accomplish this primarily through successful drilling
programs which requires substantial capital expenditures. We
periodically review capital expenditures and adjust our budget
based on liquidity, drilling results, leasehold acquisition
opportunities, and commodity prices.  We believe that our existing
cash on hand, operating cash flow and available proceeds under our
revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our capital and
operating requirements for 2017.

"Future success in growing reserves and production will be highly
dependent on capital resources available and the success of finding
or acquiring additional reserves.  We will continue using net cash
on hand, cash flows from operations and proceeds available under
our revolving credit facility to satisfy near-term financial
obligations and liquidity needs, and as necessary, we will seek
additional sources of debt or equity to fund these requirements.
Longer-term cash flows are subject to a number of variables
including the level of production and prices we receive for our
production as well as various economic conditions that have
historically affected the natural gas and oil business.  Our
ability to expand our reserve base is, in part, dependent on
obtaining sufficient capital through internal cash flow, bank
borrowings, asset sales or the issuance of debt or equity
securities.  There can be no assurance that internal cash flow and
other capital sources will provide sufficient funds to maintain
capital expenditures that we believe are necessary to offset
inherent declines in production and proven reserves

"As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of our
debt covenants under the credit agreement governing our revolving
credit facility and the indenture governing our 8.875% senior
unsecured notes due 2023.  Further, based on our current forecast
and activity levels, we expect to remain in compliance with all
such debt covenants for the next twelve months.  However, if oil
and natural gas prices decrease to lower levels, we are likely to
generate lower operating cash flows, which would make it more
difficult for us to remain in compliance with all of our debt
covenants, including requirements with respect to working capital
and interest coverage ratios.  This could negatively impact our
ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access to capital
resources."

                    About Eclipse Resources

Eclipse Resources Corporation is an independent exploration and
production company engaged in the acquisition and development of
oil and natural gas properties in the Appalachian Basin.  As of
Dec. 31, 2015, the Company had assembled an acreage position
approximating 220,000 net acres in Eastern Ohio.

                          *    *    *

As reported by the TCR on July 11, 2016, Moody's Investors Service
upgraded Eclipse Resources' Corporate Family Rating (CFR) to 'Caa1'
from 'Caa2' and Probability of Default Rating to 'Caa1-PD' from
'Caa2-PD'.  "The upgrade to Caa1 reflects Eclipse's improved
liquidity and good visibility to fund a more robust drilling
program through 2017 than we had previously anticipated, largely
the result of $123 million in proceeds raised from its equity
issuance.  With considerable cash balances and improving cash
margins on its production, Eclipse is poised to return to a
production growth trajectory that should allow for meaningful
deleveraging," noted John Thieroff, Moody's VP-Senior Analyst.

In June 2016, S&P Global Ratings raised its corporate credit rating
on State College, Pa.-based Eclipse Resources Inc. to 'CCC+' from
'CC'.  "The rating action reflects our opinion that Eclipse is
unlikely to pursue further distressed debt transactions given the
lack of bondholders' appetite for a distressed exchange--as
demonstrated by the early termination of the company's exchange
offer in February--and the increase in its bond price over the past
three months," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Christine
Besset.

deficit of $15.08 million.

Salberg & Company, P.A., in Boca Raton, Florida, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, citing that the Company reported a
net loss of $23.07 million and $11.5 million in 2015 and 2014,
respectively, and cash used in operating activities of $1.76
million and $4.55 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively.  At Dec.
31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficiency,
stockholders' deficit and accumulated deficit of $9.32 million,
$12.2 million and $132 million, respectively.  These matters raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

On March 2, 2017, Finjan, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finjan
Holdings, Inc., entered into a Confidential Patent License
Agreement with Veracode, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to
the License Agreement, Veracode will obtain a license to the Finjan

which Finjan received on March 2, 2017. Such license does not grant
Veracode any right to transfer, sublicense or grant any rights
under the License Agreement to a third party except as specifically
provided under the License Agreement. Such license also has certain
provisions relating to certain unlicensed products of any company
that acquires Veracode, or is acquired by Veracode or its
affiliates, in which case additional license fees may apply. The
specific terms of the License Agreement are confidential.

                                 About Finjan

Finjan, formerly known as Converted Organics, is a leading online
security and technology company which owns a portfolio of patents,
related to software that proactively detects malicious code and
thereby protects end-users from identity and data theft, spyware,
malware, phishing, trojans and other online threats.  Founded in
1997, Finjan is one of the first companies to develop and patent
technology and software that is capable of detecting previously
unknown and emerging threats on a real-time, behavior-based basis,
in contrast to signature-based methods of intercepting only known
threats to computers, which were previously standard in the online
security industry.

Finjan Holdings reported a net loss of $12.6 million in 2015, a net
loss of $10.5 million in 2014 and a net loss of $6.07 million in
2013.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Finjan had $15.04 million in total assets,
$4.57 million in total liabilities, $13.68 million in redeemable
preferred stock and $3.22 million in stockholders' deficit.


FORTRESS TRANSPORTATION: S&P Affirms 'B' CCR; Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it affirmed its 'B' corporate credit
rating on New York-based Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure
Investors LLC (FTAI).  The outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P assigned its 'B+' issue-level rating and '2'
recovery rating to FTAI's proposed $250 million senior unsecured
notes due in 2022.  The '2' recovery rating indicates S&P's
expectation that lenders would receive substantial (70%-90%;
rounded estimate: 85%) recovery of their principal in the event of
a payment default.

FTAI plans to use the proceeds from the senior unsecured notes for
general corporate purposes, which may include future investments
and the refinancing of its debt.

FTAI has two major business segments: equipment leasing (aircraft
and aircraft engines) and infrastructure (three terminals and a
small railroad).  The company is a relatively small participant in
these businesses, though FTAI plans to use the proceeds from the
proposed senior unsecured notes to grow its operations.  FTAI's
aviation assets are older than those of most of the other aircraft
leasing companies that S&P rates, which raises the potential for
cash flow volatility.  S&P also expects that the company will
receive only a minimal earnings contribution from its terminals
that serve the offshore energy market because of weak market
conditions and low commodity prices.  S&P assess FTAI's business
risk profile as vulnerable.

S&P's base-case scenario assumes that FTAI's credit metrics will
improve in 2017 and 2018, with its EBIT coverage (our core ratio
for operating leasing companies) improving to at least the mid-1x
area.  S&P forecasts that the company's debt-to-capital and funds
from operations (FFO)-to-debt ratios, which are supplemental
ratios, will be around 40% and in the mid- to high-teens percent
area, respectively, over this period.  FTAI has lower leverage than
most operating leasing companies, though its leverage levels are
more typical for the infrastructure business.  S&P assess FTAI's
financial risk profile as significant.

S&P's base-case assumptions include:

   -- U.S. GDP growth of 2.4% in 2017 and 2.3% in 2018;
   -- Improving margins;
   -- Capital spending of around $500 million in 2017 and around
      $200 million in 2018; and
   -- Ongoing dividends of around $100 million a year.

S&P assesses FTAI's liquidity as adequate.  S&P believes that the
company's sources of liquidity will likely be at least 1.2x its
uses--which is the minimum threshold for an adequate designation
under S&P's criteria--and expect that FTAI will also meet S&P's
other criteria for such a designation.

Liquidity sources:

   -- Cash of $68 million as of Dec. 31, 2016;
   -- FFO of at least $100 million a year;
   -- Potential proceeds from capital-market transactions; and
   -- Potential proceeds from asset sales.

Liquidity uses:

   -- Minimal debt maturities;
   -- Capital spending of around $500 million in 2017 and around
      $200 million in 2018; and
   -- Ongoing dividends of around $100 million a year.

The stable outlook on FTAI reflects S&P's expectation that the
company will continue to focus on expanding its leasing operations
and investing in its infrastructure assets while maintaining
adequate liquidity.  S&P forecasts that the company's consolidated
operations will maintain a consolidated EBIT interest coverage
ratio of at least 1.1x over the next year.

S&P could raise its ratings on FTAI over the next year if the
company substantially improves its scale and competitive position
while sustaining EBIT interest coverage of at least 1.3x and an
FFO-to-debt ratio of at least 9%.

Although unlikely, S&P could lower its ratings on FTAI over the
next year if the company's consolidated EBIT interest coverage
falls below 1.1x on a sustained basis.  This could occur if the
company's revenue and cash flow underperform S&P's expectations due
to weaker-than-expected demand and pricing in all of its
operations.



FREEPORT-MCMORAN INC: Fitch Lowers Issuer Default Rating to BB+
---------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has downgraded the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX) to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'. In
addition, Fitch has affirmed Freeport Minerals Corporation's 'BBB-'
senior unsecured ratings.

The Rating Outlook is Negative.

Approximately $14 billion of notes and $3.5 billion in facilities
are affected by today's rating action.

The downgrade reflects Fitch's view that FFO adjusted leverage will
be above 3x through 2019 but that the company will remain free cash
flow (FCF) positive. The Negative Outlook reflects the risk that
resolution of the dispute with the government of Indonesia takes a
prolonged period to resolve. Fitch believes that failure to gain
concentrate export approval will result in FFO adjusted leverage of
5x in 2017 before falling to about 3.4x in 2019 but that cost and
capital expenditure cuts could result in FCF generation.

The ratings at Freeport Minerals have been affirmed at 'BBB-',
since that entity does not provide upstream guarantees and is
lightly levered with minimal debt. Cerro Verde debt, which is
consolidated at Freeport Minerals, is non-recourse and serviceable
with cash flows
from that entity.

Fitch is also withdrawing the IDR on Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC
(FMOG) given that the rating is no longer relevant to investors.
FCX exchanged new FCX notes for the bulk of FMOG notes, the FMOG
notes benefit from an FCX guarantee, and FMOG is a much smaller
entity following asset sales.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

FINANCIAL LEVERAGE

FCX entered the commodities downcycle with elevated debt levels
following the acquisition of Plains Exploration & Production
Company as well as high capital commitments at that business and
the Cerro Verde brownfield expansion in Peru. FFO adjusted leverage
was 4.3x at the end of 2016 and could fall to 3.1x by the end of
2019 if Indonesian exports are resumed. Fitch expects $4.6 billion
of debt to be repaid on schedule through 2019, but earnings would
fall if Indonesian operations are cut to roughly 40% which could
result in FFO adjusted leverage of 3.4x by the end of 2019. Fitch
does not expect cash on hand to be used to call notes prior to
maturity.

BALANCE SHEET REPAIR

Fitch acknowledges the strides management has made in delevering
the balance sheet through assets sales, equity issuances and capex
cuts. Net proceeds from the sale of equity were $1.9 billion in
2015 and $1.5 billion in 2016. In addition, FCX exchanged $407
million in principal amount of senior notes for common stock in
2016. Net proceeds from asset sales in 2016 were $6.4 billion.

At Dec. 31, 2016, cash on the balance sheet was $4.2 billion, debt
was $16 billion, and $3.9 billion of debt had been repaid in the
year.

INDONESIAN EXPORTS HALTED

PT Freeport Indonesia's (PT-FI) rights to export are permitted
under its existing contract of work (COW) without restriction or
payment of export duties, but the government of Indonesia has
implemented new regulations, the most recent of which permit
concentrate exports for a five-year period, subject to various
conditions. These include conversion from a COW to a special
operating license (known as an IUPK), commitment to completion of
smelter construction in five years, and payment of export duties to
be determined. Export licenses would be valid for one-year periods,
subject to review every six months, depending on smelter
construction progress.

The government has indicated that PT-FI would be required to
immediately convert to an IUPK in order to export concentrates. The
IUPK does not provide the rights to fiscal and legal certainty
contained in the COW and further requires foreign IUPK holders to
divest 51% to Indonesian interests no later than the 10th year of
production. PT-FI has advised the Indonesian government that
attempts to enforce the new regulations on PT-FI violates its COW
and that it is unwilling to terminate its COW unless replaced by a
mutually acceptable stability agreement to support its long-term
investment plans. On Feb. 17, 2017, PT-FI provided formal notice of
an impending dispute to the government listing the government's
multiple breaches of the COW. If the dispute is not resolved by
June 17, 2017, PT-FI may commence arbitration under the United
Nations Commission on International Trade Law Arbitration rules to
enforce all provisions of the COW and seek damages. Such
proceedings would take place in Indonesia, and, for limited
purposes, would be overseen by the Indonesian courts.

As a result of PT-FI's inability to export concentrates, PT-FI is
suspending investments, reducing its production by approximately
60% from normal levels and implementing cost savings plans. FCX
states that for each month of delay in obtaining approval to
export, PT-FI's share of production is expected to be reduced by
about 70 million pounds of copper and 70,000 ounces of gold.

Fitch believes PT-FI could operate at roughly 40%, mine in higher
grades for a longer period, and generate FCF but that FFO leverage
would rise to about 5x in 2017 before falling to about 3.4x with
scheduled repayment of debt.

EXPOSURE TO COPPER

Fitch estimates that copper revenues will be about 70% of
consolidated revenues in 2017 based on Fitch $1,100/oz. gold and
$2.49/lb. copper price assumption. FCX estimates that a $0.10/lb
change in the price of copper would change EBITDA by $415 million
and operating cash flow by $320 million in 2017. Copper prices have
averaged about $2.68/lb for the first two months of 2017 compared
with average realized prices of $2.39 for the fourth quarter of
2016.

HIGH-QUALITY ASSETS

The company's remaining assets are large-scale, long-lived mines
with competitive costs in North America, average costs in South
America and first-quartile costs in Indonesia. FCX has scaled back
development since the commodities price slump except for Cerro
Verde and underground development at Grasberg. FCX has several
brownfield development opportunities to pursue when capital
resources are less constrained.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Fitch's key assumptions within the rating case for Freeport-McMoRan
Inc. include:

-- Production at guidance;
-- Unit site cost at guidance;
-- Fitch's commodity price assumptions: Brent oil prices at
    $52.50/barrel in 2017 and $55/barrel in 2018, and
    $60.00/barrel in 2019; copper prices at $5,500/tonne in 2017,
    $6,000/tonne in 2018, and $6,200/tonne in 2019; and gold
    prices of $1,100 in all periods;
-- Notes repaid on schedule;
-- Capital expenditures at guidance.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Negative: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to negative rating action include:

-- Failure to gain approval to export concentrate on reasonable
    terms from Indonesia;

-- FFO adjusted leverage staying above 3.7x on a sustained basis
   and free cash flow negative.

Future developments that may, individually or collectively, lead to
positive rating action include extension of the Contract of Work or
attaining a stability agreement in Indonesia and expectation of FFO
adjusted leverage below 3.3x on a sustained basis.

The ratings could be stabilized if exports of concentrate are
permitted in Indonesia.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is robust given expectations of at least $1.2 billion in
FCF generation for 2017, and backstopped by $4.1 billion of
available cash on hand and $3.5 billion available under the
revolving credit facility ($43 million of LOCs outstanding) at Dec.
31, 2016. The revolver matures May 31, 2019. Financial covenants
under the revolver include a maximum net debt to EBITDA ratio of
4.25x in 2017 and 3.75x thereafter, and a minimum interest coverage
ratio of 2.5x. Fitch does not anticipate a breach.

Fitch expects cash on hand to build while the company is in
negotiations with the government of Indonesia.

FULL LIST OF RATING ACTIONS

Fitch has downgraded the following ratings:

Freeport-McMoRan Inc.
-- IDR to 'BB+' from 'BBB-';
-- $3.5 billion unsecured bank revolver to 'BB+/RR4' from 'BBB-';
-- Senior unsecured notes to 'BB+/RR4' from 'BBB-'.

The Rating Outlook is Negative.

Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC.
-- Senior unsecured notes to 'BB+/RR4' from 'BBB-'.

Fitch has withdrawn the following rating:

Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas LLC.
-- IDR.

Fitch has affirmed the following ratings:

Freeport Minerals Corporation
-- $115 million 7.125% senior unsecured debentures due 2027
    at 'BBB-';
-- $107.4 million 9.50% senior unsecured notes due 2031 at
    'BBB-';
-- $123.5 million 6.125% senior unsecured notes due 2034 at
    'BBB-'.

The Rating Outlook has been revised to Positive from Negative.


FUNCTION(X) INC: Signs Deal to Acquire Media Company BumpClick
--------------------------------------------------------------
Function(x), Inc. announced the signing of a binding term sheet to
acquire all equity interests in BumpClick LLC.  BumpClick is a
media company that uses technology and industry relationships to
maximize distribution and revenue from its network of websites and
social assets that total more than 60M social followers.

Last week BumpClick finalized the acquisition of all ViralNova
assets, including the flagship property http://www.viralnova.com/

Sean Beckner, the founder and CEO of BumpClick, was the CEO and
controlling member of ViralNova, LLC prior to selling the company
to Zealot Networks in 2015.  Also included in the sale is the
proprietary CMS and analytics and reporting software called "Nova"
along with all social assets.  BumpClick is moving quickly to
optimize and grow this asset, with work already underway.

"The ViralNova transaction rounds out a very strong stable of
technology, social assets and websites that are both established
and up and coming," said Beckner.

Beckner will assume a senior management position applying his
skills to the existing FNCX properties, when BumpClick is acquired
by FNCX.

"We are excited to acquire a rapidly growing digital platform,
especially one run by an experienced industry professional," said
Robert FX Sillerman, executive chairman and CEO of Function(x). "We
believe that the synergies between our two companies are
substantial, and when combined with Sean's expertise and
experience, this acquisition will be instantly accretive to our
business.  As indicated in the recently completed public offering
registration statement, strategic acquisitions such as BumpClick
are an integral part of our strategy.  We are thrilled to have come
to agreement."

"The team and I are very excited to join forces with Bob and his
team at Function(x)," said Beckner.  "Bob's many successes and deep
understanding of how to build and scale large enterprises is a big
reason for our excitement around this deal.  The digital media
landscape is filled with opportunities to achieve significant scale
by growing both organically and through acquisition of leading
digital properties and assets.  We believe we bring a strong track
record for how to do this profitably and at scale."

As consideration for the equity interests in BumpClick, Beckner
will receive the following consideration on the closing date of the
Transaction:

   * $10,000,000 in cash, and

   * $15,000,000 in shares of the Company's common stock, valued
     at the weighted average closing price of those common shares
     of the Company for the 15 trading day period prior to the
     closing of the Transaction.  $6,000,000 in value of those
     shares will be held in escrow, and will be released based
     upon the achievement of certain performance criteria.

   * In the event that a certain software platform owned by
     BumpClick is (a) sold or (b) exclusively licensed, or (c)
     eighteen (18) months after the closing of the Transaction,
     whichever occurs first, the Company will pay Beckner 20% of
     the value of the software platform.  That amount can be paid
     in cash or shares of the Company's common stock, at the
     Company's option.

   * Beckner will sign an employment agreement with the Company.

Also as consideration, key employees of BumpClick will participate
in the Function(x) equity incentive plan, and the Company will
grant each key employee at least 100,000 qualified options or
restricted stock units each year of employment.  Beckner will be
included in any incentive program that the Company may maintain
relating to incentives for achievement of market capitalization
targets as well as executive management incentive programs.
Additionally, Beckner will be appointed President of the Company.

The Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent that
must be satisfied prior to the Closing Date.  The conditions
precedent are detailed in the Binding Term Sheet.  There is no
assurance that the Transaction will close, or that the terms of the
Transaction as set forth in the definitive documents, if any, will
be the same as those in the Binding Term Sheet.

GARTNER INC: S&P Rates USD-Denominated Unsec. Notes Due 2025 'BB-'
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and '5'
recovery rating to Gartner Inc.'s proposed U.S. dollar-denominated
senior unsecured notes due 2025.  The '5' recovery rating indicates
S&P's expectation for modest recovery (10%-30%; rounded estimate:
15%) of principal in the event of a payment default.

The company will use the net the proceeds from the notes offering,
cash on hand, and borrowings under its amended senior secured
credit facility and certain new credit facilities to fund the cash
consideration and other amounts payable regarding its previously
announced acquisition of CEB Inc., repay and redeem certain of CEB
and its subsidiaries' outstanding debt, and pay related fees and
expenses.  The issue-level rating is one notch below S&P's
corporate credit rating on Gartner.

Pro forma for the transaction, S&P expects that Garner's leverage
will be around 5x as of Dec. 31, 2016.  S&P views Gartner's
financial risk profile as significant, primarily due to the
company's strong pro forma free operating cash flow (FOCF)
generation and FOCF to debt of about 13% as of Dec. 31, 2016.  S&P
believes that Gartner will deleverage quickly over the next 18-24
months after the acquisition closes, primarily due to realization
of synergies, organic EBITDA growth, and debt repayment.

S&P's assessment of Gartner's business risk profile as fair is
based on the company's leading position in information technology
(IT) research services, and its strong brand recognition, high
client renewals, recurring revenue model, and good EBITDA margins.
Gartner operates in the IT supply chain and marketing functional
areas, providing research critical to corporate decision makers.

Following its acquisition of CEB, Gartner will expand its research
capabilities into the human resources, sales, finance, and legal
functions.  S&P believes the CEB acquisition will broaden Gartner's
overall product offerings and provide longer term opportunities for
cross-selling and new product development. Nevertheless, Gartner
has limited experience in acquiring and successfully integrating
large acquisitions.

The stable rating outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Gartner
will reduce its adjusted debt leverage to below 4x by 2018,
primarily due to organic EBITDA growth, realization of synergies,
and debt repayment.  S&P could lower its corporate credit rating on
Gartner if S&P believes the company's adjusted debt leverage is
unlikely to decrease to below 4x by 2018 due to slow revenue and
EBITDA growth or unexpected integration issues.  Additionally, S&P
could lower the rating if the company deviates to a more aggressive
financial policy.

on an aggregate of (i) 156,715,833 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of January 31, 2017 as reported in the Issuer's
Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 7, 2017, and (ii) the
29,408,305 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of
the Securities Purchase Agreement.

On Feb. 16, 2017, certain investment vehicles managed by ACOF
entered into a securities purchase agreement Gastar.  Pursuant to
the Securities Purchase Agreement, on March 3, 2017, the Purchasers
acquired (i) $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the

Stock, or, in certain circumstances, cash in lieu of Common Stock

                      About Gastar Exploration

Houston, Texas-based Gastar Exploration Inc. --
http://www.gastar.com/-- is an independent energy company engaged
in the exploration, development and production of oil, condensate,
natural gas and natural gas liquids in the United States.  Gastar's
principal business activities include the identification,
acquisition, and subsequent exploration and development of oil and
natural gas properties with an emphasis on unconventional reserves,
such as shale resource plays.  

Gastar Exploration reported a net loss attributable to common
stockholders of $473.98 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015,
compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of
$36.52 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Gastar Exploration had $300.0 million in
total assets, $461.0 million in total liabilities and a total
stockholders' deficit of $161.1 million.

                          *      *      *

As reported by the TCR on March 15, 2016, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services lowered its corporate credit rating on Gastar Exploration
to 'CCC-' from 'CCC+'.  The downgrade follows Gastar's announcement
that it had just $29 million of cash on hand and a fully drawn
revolver.  The company's borrowing base current stands at $180
million, but will be reduced to $100 million at the earlier of the
close of the Appalachian asset sale or April 10, 2016.  Proceeds
from the Appalachian asset sale are expected to be $80 million.

In June 2016, Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Corporate
Family Rating of Gastar to 'Caa3' from 'Caa1'.  The rating outlook
was changed to 'negative' from 'stable'.  The downgrade of Gastar's
CFR to Caa3 reflects the company's weakened liquidity and reduced
size following the sale of its Appalachian assets in April 2016.


GENERAL WIRELESS: Will Close at Least 530 Retail Locations
----------------------------------------------------------
General Wireless Operations Inc., doing business as RadioShack,
plans to close and liquidate the inventory and other assets of at
least 530 of their 1,500 retail locations under the supervision of
the Bankruptcy Court.

On March 8, 2017, General Wireless, along with three affiliates,
filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 in
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, citing a
failed business relationship with Sprint Solutions, Inc. for its
financial instability.

Prior to the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors have wound down 187
stores and intend to close those stores by March 13.

Commenting on the bankruptcy filing, President and Chief Executive
Officer Dene Rogers said, "For nearly 100 years, RadioShack has
proudly served local communities across the United States, offering
consumers unique, high-quality products at a great value.  Over the
course of the past two years, our talented, dedicated team has
worked relentlessly in an effort to revitalize the Company and the
RadioShack brand, while providing outstanding service to our
customers.  We greatly appreciate their hard work and dedication."

In 2015, the Debtors purchased the assets of RS Legacy Corporation
d/b/a RadioShack Corporation out of bankruptcy in Case No. 15-10197
pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  Specifically, General
Wireless acquired 1,733 RadioShack stores throughout the United
States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  The sale included
an agreement with Sprint to establish co-branded stores for the
sale of Sprint mobile devices, including mobile handsets, tablets,
and mobile broadband services.  Under the terms of the agreement,
Sprint would operate Sprint stores within the RadioShack stores
known as "Sprint Team at RadioShack" or "STAR."  In exchange for
the exclusive use of RadioShack floor space, Sprint agreed to pay
approximately a third of the rent, to split profits with RadioShack
from the sale of wireless accessories, and to pay RadioShack
commissions on phones sold in RadioShack stores.

Mr. Rogers said that while the RadioShack retail business had
turned a corner and became profitable after the purchase, the
Sprint relationship did not yield the benefits the Debtors
anticipated adding that the payout of commissions by Sprint was
delayed.  According to Mr. Rogers, Sprint mobility sales dropped
off precipitously in the fourth quarter of 2016, following the U.S.
presidential election, calling the original arrangement in
question.  It became apparent to the Debtors that not only would
they not receive the originally projected cash commissions in 2016,
but they likely would not receive commissions from Sprint, even at
a substantially reduced amount until 2018.

The Debtors' management made numerous attempts to compel Sprint to
make the payments beginning as early as March 2016 and continuing
into early 2017, all of which were rebuked.  Ultimately, in early
2017, management presented a new plan to Sprint in an attempt to
restructure the Alliance Agreement and the related agreement to
provide for a flat fee arrangement, but an agreement could not be
reached.

"Since emerging from bankruptcy two years ago as a privately owned
company, our team has made progress in stabilizing operations and
achieving profitability in the retail business, while our partner
Sprint managed the mobility business," Mr. Rogers continued.  "In
2016, we reduced operating expenses by 23%, while at the same time
saw gross profit dollars increase 8%.  Over the same time, we
integrated FedEx pickup / drop-off into 140 RadioShack locations,
delivered to customers over 700,000 Hulu login pins and sold more
than a million RadioShack private brand headphones and speakers
delivering high quality, value- based audio products to consumers
across the country.  However, for a number of reasons, most notably
the surprisingly poor performance of mobility sales, especially
over recent months, we have concluded that the Chapter 11 process
represents the best path forward for the Company.  We will continue
to work with our advisors and stakeholders to preserve as many jobs
as possible while maximizing value for our creditors."

Although the Debtors seek the authority to conduct Store Closing
Sales at any or all of their stores (a significant number of which
are co-branded with Sprint), they continue to evaluate the
performance of each of their stores, and may continue operations at
a subset of higher performing stores.  Tiger Capital Group, LLC has
been engaged to provide liquidating consulting services in
connection with the store closing sales.  The Debtors may also
reject leases at locations that are underperforming and pursue a
sale or restructuring of their remaining assets.

"Many of the Closing Stores fail to generate positive cash flow and
therefore are a significant drain on liquidity.  As such, the
Debtors will realize an immediate benefit in terms of financial
liquidity upon the sale of the Store Closure Assets and the
termination of operations at the Closing Stores," Mr. Rogers
maintained.

                   Sprint Settlement Agreement

Following extensive negotiations, the Debtors and Sprint determined
that an orderly termination of their business relationship was
warranted.  Thus, on March 5, 2017, the Debtors and Sprint entered
into a Mutual Settlement and Release, Operations Wind Down, and
Bankruptcy Cooperation Agreement.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, on March
6, 2017, Sprint paid to the Debtors a $12 million wind down
payment, and in exchange, the Debtors (i) transferred and assigned
to Sprint the leases for 115 stores that were subleased, and FF&E
for those 115 stores and an additional 245 stores for which Sprint
is the primary tenant, (ii) returned the Sprint inventory, and
(iii) provided certain information related to sales performance in
the stores.

The Settlement Agreement provides for an additional $5 million to
be paid by Sprint to the Debtors upon the expiration of an
investigation period, and certain mutual releases, subject to Court
approval.  The Settlement Agreement provides a detailed framework
for the parties' respective exits from their subleased locations.

                         First Day Motions

Concurrently with the filing of the Chapter 11 cases, the Debtors
filed first day pleadings to enable their goals of (a) continuing
their operations in Chapter 11, with as little disruption as
possible, (b) maintaining the confidence and support of their
employees, vendors and service providers, (c) establishing
procedures for the orderly closing and liquidation of certain of
their stores, and (d) the separation of the operations between the
Debtors and Sprint in an expeditious and mutually agreed manner.

RadioShack's retail network includes more than 4,300 company-

worldwide.

RadioShack Corp. and affiliates sought Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 15-10197) on Feb. 5, 2015,
disclosing total assets of $1.2 billion, versus total debt of $1.3
billion.  After an auction in March 2015, RadioShack sold most of
the
assets to General Wireless, Inc., an entity formed by Standard
General, L.P., for $150 million.

HEBREW HEALTH: PCO Continues to Follow-up Concerns of 3 Families
----------------------------------------------------------------
Anne Cahill Kluetsch, the Patient Care Ombudsman for Hebrew Health
Care, Inc., et al., files a Second Report before the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut.

The PCO noted that the overall impression of the Debtor is that
there continues to be care and services provided safely and
effectively in the spirit of its mission and continue to current
regulatory standards.  

The PCO reported that, up until the change of ownership, the PCO
spent focused time in the skilled nursing facility and took time to
follow up with three families with concerns.  The PCO made
recommendations to the SNF Administrator to consider a more
in‐depth review of materials on Resident Rights, Abuse and
Neglect prevention, Complaint and Grievance process, and
implementation of regulatory compliance updates. 

The PCO said the next reporting will include comments of the visit
observations and impressions for: (a) Hebrew Life Choices, Inc.;
(b) Geriatric Specialty Group. P.C.; (c) Hebrew Community Services,
Inc.; and (d) Hebrew Healthcare.

              About Hebrew Health Care Inc.

Hebrew Health Care, Inc., Hebrew Life Choices, Inc., Hebrew
Community Services, Inc., and Hebrew Home and Hospital,
Incorporated, filed Chapter 11 petitions (Bankr. D. Conn. Case Nos.
16-21311, 16-21312, 16-21313, and 16-21314, respectively) on Aug.
15, 2016. The petitions were signed by Bonnie Gauthier, CEO. Their
cases are assigned to Judge Ann M. Nevins.

The Debtors are represented by Elizabeth J. Austin, Esq., at
Pullman and Comley, LLC.  The Debtors tapped Wiggin and Dana as
special transactional and health care regulatory counsel, Rogin
Nassau LLC as special-purpose counsel, and Kroll McNamara Evans &
Delehanty LLP to perform collections services.  The Debtors also
tapped Altman and Company, LLC, as financial advisor, EisnerAmper
LLP as financial advisor, and Marcum LLP as auditors.  The Debtors
tapped Zangari Cohn Cuthbertson Duhl & Grello P.C., as special
labor counsel.

At the time of the filing, Hebrew Health Care, Inc., estimated
assets at $1 million to $10 million and liabilities at $100,000 to
$500,000; Hebrew Life Choices, Inc. estimated assets at $10 million
to $50 million and liabilities at $10 million to $50 million;
Hebrew Community Services, Inc. estimated assets at $500,000 to $1
million and liabilities at $100,000 to $500,000; and Hebrew Home
and Hospital estimated assets at $1 million to $10 million and
liabilities at $10 million to $50 million.

The United States Trustee for Region 2 appointed The Connecticut
Light and Power Company, McKesson Corporation, and Morrison
Management Specialists, Inc. to serve on the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.  Zeisler & Zeisler, P.C., serves as counsel to
the Committee.  Senior Living Investment Brokerage, Inc., provides
marketing and brokerage services to the Committee.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 2 appointed Anne Cahill Kluetsch, the
Director/Senior Consultant of Kluetsch & Associates, LLC, as the
Patient Care Ombudsman in the Chapter 11 cases of Hebrew Life
Choices, Inc., Hebrew Community Services, Inc., Hebrew Home and
Hospital, Incorporated, and CT Geriatric Specialty Group, P.C.  The
PCO retained Coan, Lewendon, Gulliver & Miltenberger, LLC, as
counsel.


HELLBENDER BREWING: Ch. 11 Trustee Sought Over Gross Mismanagement
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hop & Wine Beverage, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Columbia to enter an Order dismissing the Chapter 11
bankruptcy case of Hellbender Brewing Company LLC or, in the
alternative, directing the appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee.

According to the Motion, the Debtor's operations have been grossly
mismanaged and its business strategy is fundamentally flawed. The
Debtor's operations unfortunately commenced at the crest of the
wave of the craft beer industry, which has become saturated and
extremely competitive since the Debtor's inception.

The Motion provides that the Debtor's problems have been numerous,
including but not limited to, inexperienced management and
advisors, opening delays, construction cost overruns, insufficient
and failed marketing plans, insufficient and ineffective sales
personnel, unrealistic revenue projections, quality control
problems, average quality products, extreme competition, an
overcrowded craft beer market, and an inability (or unwillingness)
to package its product for wider distribution. The Motion adds
that, instead of attempting to address the Debtor's fundamental
operational and strategic issues to enhance revenue by increasing
demand for its products, the Debtor has instead misguidedly and
unjustifiably made the Movant, who performs its role as the
Debtor's wholesale distributor in D.C. (and Virginia), as the
scapegoat for all of its problems.

The Movant noted that the Debtor's continuing losses, gross
mismanagement, and bad faith—provides sufficient cause pursuant
to Section 1112(b) to dismiss the case. Moreover, the Movant also
believes that the benefits of having an independent, experienced,
and unbiased chapter 11 trustee would at least supplement the
management and justify the costs.

The Movant is represented by:

HOOPER HOLMES: To Merge With Provant in All-Stock Transaction
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hooper Holmes Inc. and Provant Health Solutions LLC have agreed to
combine in an all-stock transaction which will create one of the
largest, pure-play health and wellness companies in the United
States.  On a combined basis, 2016 pro-forma annual revenue of the
merged company is approximately $67 million, excluding $3.8 million
of pass-through gift card revenue at Provant.  This transaction is
expected to significantly improve financial performance, expand the
merged Company's combined national network of local health
professionals and advance its well-being solutions technology.

"Scale, growth and synergies will create a compelling financial
model and are expected to improve operating cash flow for our
merged company.  Our channel partners will be supported by an
expanded network of local health professionals and direct customers
will gain access to an expanded suite of personalized digital
services that promote, track and measure healthy behaviors and
outcomes," said Henry E. Dubois, chief executive officer of Hooper
Holmes.

"Combining Hooper's market-leading clinical services with Provant's
expertise in member service, personalized well-being and advanced
analytics will deepen collaboration with our customers and channel
partners," said Heather Provino, chief executive officer and
founder of Provant.  "Best-in-class, strategic partnerships are
essential for capitalizing on the massive opportunity our industry
is seeing in order to take advantage of the paradigm shift
occurring in consumerism.  We believe this powerful combination
will drive innovation for our clients and accelerate growth."

The transaction has compelling strategic and financial benefits for
both health and wellness solutions companies.  Provant and Hooper
represent an exceptionally synergistic merger, bringing together
unique specialties that cross business verticals.  The merged
company will be highly focused on leveraging each Company's
expertise to maximize growth, broaden market appeal and provide
additional value that aligns with the objectives of clients and
channel partners.  The two companies have no customer overlap and
both target growing healthcare market segments.

Synergies from leveraging fixed costs and optimizing services and
processes are expected to significantly reduce the merged Company's
cost structure, supporting a more efficient organization.  The
merger is expected to be accretive to adjusted EBITDA in full year
2017.

Under the terms of the transaction Hooper Holmes will issue
approximately 10.5 million shares of common stock to Provant's
owners and the merged company will raise $3.5 million in new equity
capital.  Century Equity Partners, the majority shareholder of
Provant, has committed to $1.75 million of the $3.5 million equity
raise and certain existing Hooper shareholders and insiders have
committed to an additional $1.6 million, for a total of $3.3
million of the $3.5 million already committed.

Financing

Financing to support the transaction and provide working capital
has been arranged from SWK Holdings, a specialized finance company
focused on the healthcare sector, through a $6.5 million, five year
term loan at LIBOR plus 12.5%, a reduction of 150 basis points from
Hooper's current term facility.  Principal repayments start in the
first quarter of 2019.  The Company has also expanded its current
asset-based credit facility from $7 million to $10 million with an
accordion to $15 million during high-volume months.

Both of Hooper's current lenders are participating in this
transaction and are providing sufficient working capital to support
integration and growth.  At close, the merged Company is expected
to have cash on hand of $2-3 million and $10-12 million in
receivables.

Management and Governance

Upon closing, Henry Dubois will serve as chief executive officer of
the merged company and Heather Provino will serve as chief strategy
officer.  Further maintaining strength in leadership, Mark Clermont
of Provant will serve as president and Steven Balthazor of Hooper
Holmes will serve as chief financial officer.

The Board of Directors will consist of seven members, three of
which will be current Hooper Holmes directors, three of which will
be current Provant directors and one independent director who
currently chairs Hooper's audit committee.  The Company will
continue to trade under the HH stock symbol.  The Company will have
two major locations in Olathe, Kansas and East Greenwich, Rhode
Island.

Approvals and Time to Close

The Company expects to file a Form S-4 within the next ten days.
Once the S-4 is effective, shareholder approval of the transaction
is anticipated in 30 days.  Closing is anticipated in late April or
early May 2017.

The Company reported a net loss of $10.87 million in 2015, a net
loss of $8.47 million in 2014 and a net loss of $11.27 million in
2013.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Hooper Holmes had $17.46 million in total
assets, $18.04 million in total liabilities and a total
stockholders' deficit of $578,000.

KPMG LLP, in Kansas City, Missouri, issued a "going concern"
qualification on the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2015, citing that the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations, negative cash flows from operations and
other related liquidity concerns, which raises substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


HOST HOTELS: S&P Retains 'BB+' CCR; Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BBB-' issue-level rating and '1'
recovery rating to Bethesda, Md.-based Host Hotels & Resorts Inc.'s
subsidiary Host Hotels & Resorts L.P.'s proposed
$350 million series G senior currently unsecured notes due 2024.
The '1' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for very high
(90% to 100%; rounded estimate 95%) recovery for lenders in the
event of a payment default.  The issue-level rating is 'BBB-', one
notch above the corporate credit rating, despite the '1' recovery
rating because S&P caps the issue ratings for speculative-grade
issuers at 'BBB-', regardless of the recovery rating.  The company
will use the proceeds from the proposed notes to repay a portion of
its borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general
corporate purposes.

The proposed senior notes and the company's existing senior notes
and debenture indentures are currently unsecured because they have
released former subsidiary guarantees and stock pledges under
provisions in the indentures that require the same guarantees and
collateral provided to the revolving credit facility.  Effectively,
the existing senior notes are currently unsecured. However, if
Host's leverage ratio exceeds 6x for two consecutive fiscal
quarters at a time when Host does not carry an investment-grade,
long-term unsecured debt rating, the subsidiary guarantees and
equity pledges will spring back into place in Host's revolver and
note indentures.  S&P's simulated default scenario for Host
incorporates the assumption that the company's leverage ratio will
be above 6x, and the notes would be secured at that time.

The '1' recovery rating and 'BBB-' issue-level ratings on Host's
existing credit facilities and senior notes are unchanged because
the incremental debt in the capital structure is modest and does
not meaningfully impair recovery prospects for lenders.

S&P's 'BB+' corporate credit rating and stable rating outlook on
Host are unchanged.

HOVNANIAN ENTERPRISES: Reports First Quarter Net Loss of $143,000
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q disclosing a net loss
of $143,000 on $552 million of total revenues for the three months
ended Jan. 31, 2017, compared to a net loss of $16.17 million on
$575.60 million of total revenues for the three months ended
Jan. 31, 2016.
  
During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, Adjusted EBITDA increased
1.7% to $39.5 million compared with $38.8 million during the first
quarter of fiscal 2016.

As of Jan. 31, 2016, Hovnanian had $2.14 billion in total assets,
$2.27 billion in total liabilities and a total stockholders'
deficit of $128.28 million.

Total liquidity at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was
$204.5 million.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, land and land development
spending was $190.4 million compared with $116.6 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 2016.

As of Jan. 31, 2017, owned lots increased 2.5% sequentially to
17,548 from 17,116 lots at Oct. 31, 2016.  The total land position,
including unconsolidated joint ventures, was 31,178 lots,
consisting of 13,630 lots under option and 17,548 owned lots, as of
Jan. 31, 2017, compared with a total of 38,070 lots as of Jan. 31,
2016.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, approximately 2,700 lots,
including unconsolidated joint ventures, a sequential increase of
28.6%, were put under option or acquired in 42 communities.

During the first quarter of 2017, $38.7 million of face value of
debt was repurchased in the open market for approximately $30.8
million of cash, resulting in a $7.8 million gain on extinguishment
of debt.

"Given the liquidity constraints we faced last year, we are pleased
with our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. From October
15, 2015 through May 15, 2016, we paid off $320 million of maturing
debt, which limited our ability to invest in land during fiscal
2016.  As we began fiscal 2017, we were in a much improved
liquidity position with a beginning cash balance of $340 million.
We used $31 million to retire $39 million face value of debt
maturing in 2017 and 2019.  Furthermore, we spent $190 million on
land and land development in the first quarter of fiscal 2017,
which was more than we had spent in any quarter last year.  As a
result, after reporting decreases in owned lots last year, during
the first quarter the number of owned lots increased sequentially,"
stated Ara K. Hovnanian, Chairman of the Board, president and chief
executive officer.

"While the high yield debt market continues to be challenging for
us, we have strong relationships and continue to develop new
relationships with alternative capital sources, including land
banking, project specific nonrecourse debt, joint ventures and
model sale leaseback financings.  Our land acquisition teams remain
very busy identifying new land parcels so that we can once again
grow our community count, which, assuming no changes in market
conditions, should ultimately result in higher levels of deliveries
and profitability in the future," concluded Mr. Hovnanian.

III EXPLORATION: Sale Western Uintah Basin Property for $51.5M OK'd
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge R. Kimball Mosier of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Utah authorized III Exploration II, LP's sale of
substantially all of the Debtor's Western Uintah Basin Property to
Crescent Point Energy U.S. Corp. or its designee for $51,500,000.

The hearing on the Motion was held on March 8, 2017, at 2:00 p.m.

The Debtor, with the assistance of Tudor Pickering Holt & Co.,
conducted the auction on Nov. 4, 2016, at 10:00 a.m.  The highest
and best bid was submitted by Ute Energy Exploration and Marketing,
LLC, or its designee in the amount of $52,000,000.  After Ute
Energy withdrew its bid, Crescent Point's bid of $51,500,000 became
the highest and best bid for the Property.

The sale is free and clear of liens, claims, liabilities,
encumbrances and interests.

Although EP Energy did not file an objection the Motion, it filed a
response to the Debtor's earlier motion to approve the sale of the
Western Uintah Basin Property filed on Nov. 22, 2016, in which EP
Energy asserted a Cure Amount owed as to certain Assigned Contracts
to which it is a party ("EP Energy Contracts").  EP Energy also
filed a Proof of Claim, and the docket in this case reflects
additional briefing by the Parties respecting monies claimed to be
owed by EP Energy to the Debtor and by the Debtor to EP Energy.
The Debtor and EP Energy have entered into a settlement agreement
("Settlement Agreement") resolving their disputes, including
disputes regarding the EP Energy Contracts ("EP Cure Amount") and
EP Energy's Proof of Claim.  Accordingly, the Debtor, the First
Lien Agent, the Buyer and EP Energy have agreed, as confirmed by
them on the record at the hearing, that (i) the Buyer will pay the
full purchase price without any deduction for any Cure Amount
pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (ii) the
Debtor will withhold and reserve from the sale proceeds an amount
equal to $67,490 ("Reserve Amount"), (iii) EP Energy may continue
to hold and reserve the $244,234 ("Suspense Amount") in its
possession that is the subject of the disputes between the Debtor
and EP Energy pending this Court approving the Settlement Agreement
or as otherwise determined by the Court; (iv) to the extent any of
the funds held in the Suspense Amount relate to production from and
after the Effective Date, such amounts will be accounted for in the
final Purchase Price reconciliation post-closing under the Purchase
and Sale Agreement, and (v) the Debtor will disburse the Reserve
Amount only upon entry of and only in accordance with an Order of
the Court approving the Settlement Agreement or as otherwise
determined by the Court.  Crescent Point, as Buyer of the Property,
will take title to the Property and an assignment of the Assigned
Contracts, including the EP Energy Contracts, free and clear of any
cure amounts that may be asserted by EP energy with respect to such
Assigned Contracts.

The Debtor is authorized to distribute to the First Lien Lenders
proceeds of the sale at closing, subject to the limitations
described.

Upon the closing of the sale, the Debtor is authorized and directed
to assume each of the Assigned Contracts and assign them to the
Buyer and, for purposes of assumption and assignment of the
Assigned Contracts to the Buyer, the Cure Amount of each of the
Assigned Contracts is determined and deemed to be zero (except as
to the EP Cure Amount) and the closing will be deemed to (i) effect
a cure of all defaults existing thereunder as of the closing, (ii)
compensate for any actual pecuniary loss to such nondebtor party
resulting from such default, and (iii) together with the assumption
of the Assigned Contracts by the Buyer constitute adequate
assurance of future performance thereof.  For purposes of the
actual Cure Amount to be paid by the Debtor to EP Energy, the
amount will be determined and paid as provided in the Order, the
Settlement Agreement or as otherwise directed by the Court.

Except for the Permitted Encumbrances and the Buyer's Assumed
Obligations, or as expressly provided in the Order or the Purchase
and Sale Agreement, the Buyer will not have any liability or other
obligation of the Debtor arising under or related to any of the
Property.

The Order constitutes a final and appealable order within the
meaning of 28 U.S.C. Section 158(a).  Notwithstanding Bankruptcy
Rules 6004(h) and 6006(d), and to any extent necessary under
Bankruptcy Rule 9014 and Rule 54(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, as made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7054, the Court
expressly finds that there is no just reason for delay in the
implementation of the Order, rules that the otherwise applicable
stay under Rules 6004(h) and/or 6006(d) will not apply to the
order, and expressly directs entry of judgment as set forth.

ITUS Corporation commenced a rights offering to its stockholders on
March 3, 2017, pursuant to which the Company has distributed, at no
charge to holders of record of the Company's common stock and
certain warrants as of March 1, 2017, non-transferable subscription
rights to purchase up to an aggregate of $12,000,000 worth of
shares of common stock, at a purchase price equal to the lesser of
(i) $3.24 (in which case 3,703,703 shares may be sold) and (ii) a
15% discount to the volume weighted average price for our common
stock for the five trading day period through and including Friday,
March 24, 2017, all as set forth in a prospectus supplement filed
on March 6, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Each
stockholder of record on the Record Date received one right for
each one share of common stock held by the stockholder (or in the
case of certain warrant holders, one right for each share that
their warrant is exercisable for).  Each right entitles the holder
to purchase one share of our common stock, subject to proration.
In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company entered into a
Dealer Manager Agreement with Advisory Group Equity Services, Ltd.
doing business as RHK Capital.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company engaged RHK as the exclusive
dealer-manager in connection with the Rights Offering. Under the
terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Agreement, RHK
will provide marketing assistance and advice in connection with
Rights Offering, respond to requests for information and materials
relating to the Rights Offering in coordination with the
information agent and, in accordance with customary practice,
solicit the exercise of the subscription rights and subscriptions
for the Rights Offering and enter into selected dealer agreements
with other registered broker-dealers in connection with the Rights
Offering.  As compensation for its dealer manager services, the
Company will pay to RHK a cash fee of 6.0% of the proceeds of the
Rights Offering, plus a 1.8% non-accountable expense fee and an
out-of-pocket accountable expense allowance of 0.2% of the proceeds
of the Rights Offering.

The sale by the Company of the shares in the Rights Offering and
the Agreement in general is subject to customary closing
conditions, including the absence of any material adverse effect on
the business, general affairs, management, financial position,
stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has also agreed to indemnify
RHK and its affiliates against certain liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  RHK will not underwrite
and is not otherwise obligated to purchase any of the securities to
be issued in the Rights Offering and does not make any
recommendation with respect to such securities.

If all of the shares are sold, the Company expects the net proceeds
from the offering to be approximately $11 million, after deducting
dealer manager commissions, fees and estimated offering expenses.

ITUS Corp reported a net loss of $5.01 million on $300,000 of total
revenue for the year ended Oct. 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of
$1.37 million on $9.25 million of total revenue for the year ended
Oct. 31, 2015.

As of Oct. 31, 2016, ITUS had $5.62 million in total assets, $4.64
million in total liabilities and $987,475 in total shareholders'
equity.

Haskell & White LLP, in Irvine, California, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Oct. 31, 2016, citing that the Company has limited
working capital and limited revenue-generating operations and a
history of net losses and net operating cash flow deficits. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.


KATERA'S KOVE: Faces Food Complaints, PCO 2nd Report Says
---------------------------------------------------------
Margaret Barajas, the PA State Long-Term Care Ombudsman for
Katera's Kove, Inc., has filed a second 60-day report before the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania.

During the reporting period, the PCO noted that there are no
complaint-related cases opened on behalf of the residents.
However, the facility visit case notes reflect that on November 22,
2016, call bells were not operational, and during the two visits,
the residents voiced concerns about smaller food portions and had
general food complaints.

The PCO added that were no regulatory issues filed during the
reporting period.

               About Katera's Kove, Inc.

Katera's Kove, Inc., dba Katera's Kove Home Health Agency, dba
Katera's Kove Home Care Agency and Registry, dba Katera's Kove
Personal Care & Secured Dementia Community, filed a Chapter 11
petition (Bankr. W.D. Pa. Case No. 16-23084) on August 19, 2016,
and is represented by Robert W. Koehler, Esq., in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.

At the time of filing, the Debtor had $100,000 to $500,000 in
estimated assets and $1 million to $10 million in estimated
liabilities.

The petition was signed by Lynn Katekovich, CEO/President.

Andrew R. Vara, Acting United States Trustee for Region 3,
appointed Margaret Barajas, in her capacity as Pennsylvania's Long
Term Care Ombudsman, as the patient care ombudsman in the Chapter
11 bankruptcy case of Katera's Kove, Inc.

court filing that no official committee of unsecured creditors has
been appointed in the Chapter 11 case Katera's Kove, Inc.


KDA GROUP: YP Advertising to Get 75% of Gross Amount of Receivable
------------------------------------------------------------------
KDA Group, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Pennsylvania an amended disclosure statement to
accompany the amended liquidating plan dated Feb. 27, 2017.

The Debtor will be liquidating its assets.  The Debtor anticipates
funds over the next 36 months from the sale of its clients.  The
Debtor will also attempt to collect its delinquent accounts
receivable to fund the Plan.

Class 3, Secured Creditors YP Advertising & Publishing LLC and
YellowPages.com LLC will retain liens on the Debtor's accounts and
in satisfaction of the secured portion of YP's claim, receive 75%
of the gross amount of the YPM Receivable payable by YPM on and
after Jan. 1, 2017, the amount paid directly by YPM to YP, and YP
will retain a deficiency claim paid under Class 4.

Class 4 General Unsecured Claims -- totaling $14,999,535.71 -- will
be paid all remaining funds after payment of Classes 1 and 2 have
been paid in full.  The ultimate dividend to the unsecured class
will depend on the total number of allowed claims and the results
of the liquidation.  

The Plan constitutes a compromise of protracted litigation with one
of the Debtor's vendors, YP.  The Plan settles that litigation and
avoids the Debtor incurring any further legal fees to resolve the
litigation.  

YP asserted a first priority security interest in all of the
Debtor's accounts including accounts receivable.  The Debtor
disputed the security interest.  The Debtor's accounts receivable
have a book value of $314,471.94, the Joy From Within receivable if
fully collected has a value of $250,000, and the Debtor estimates
the remaining value of the YPM Receivable is $280,000.  These three
amounts total $844,471.94.

As more fully set forth in and subject to the terms of the Plan, YP
and the Debtor agreed to settle and resolve the litigation by
allowing YP's claim in the amount of $6,350,502.45, YP retaining
its liens, allocating 75% of the gross amount of the remaining YPM
Receivable to YP's secured claim (Debtor estimates this value at
$210,000), YP retaining a deficiency claim in the Class 4 general
unsecured claim pool, and agreeing to resolve the underlying
litigation with mutual releases.

The settlement satisfies the four-factor standard applicable in
this Circuit in In re Martin, 91 F.3d 389 (3d Cir. 1999) (the
probability of success in the underlying litigation, likely
collection difficulties, the complexity of the litigation as well
as the expense, inconvenience, and delay necessarily attending it,
and the paramount interest of the creditors).

LEARNING CARE: S&P Raises CCR to 'B+' on Improved Credit Ratios
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said that it raised its corporate credit rating
on Novi, Michigan-based Learning Care Group (US) No. 2 Inc. by one
notch to 'B+' from 'B'.  The rating outlook is stable.

At the same time, S&P raised its issue-level rating on the
company's senior secured debt one notch to 'B+' from 'B'.  The
recovery rating remains unchanged at '3', indicating S&P's
expectation for meaningful recovery (50%-70%; rounded estimate:
60%) of principal in the event of a payment default.

"The upgrade reflects our view of Learning Care's ability to reduce
its adjusted leverage to below 4x by the fiscal year ending June
30, 2017, and our expectation that the risk of its leverage rising
above 5x is low over the next 12-18 months," said S&P Global
Ratings' credit analyst Kathryn Archibald.  S&P expects
mid-single-digit percentage EBITDA growth due to improved center
utilization and tuck-in acquisitions.  S&P also expects continued
healthy cash flow generation, which the company will use to fund
the tuck-in acquisitions and invest in refurbishing its existing
centers.  S&P's corporate credit rating is dependent on Learning
Care balancing its potential shareholder rewarding initiatives to
keep leverage below 5x.  S&P anticipates that the company's
financial policy will continue to focus on using excess cash flow
to invest in growth initiatives.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Learning Care
will continue to generate mid-single-digit percentage revenue and
EBITDA growth, as well as healthy free operating cash flow that it
will use to continue to reinvest in the growth of the company,"
said Ms. Archibald.  "The outlook also reflects our expectation
that leverage will remain below 4x."

S&P could lower the corporate credit rating if it expects the
company's debt leverage to increase above 5x due to a shift in
unemployment trends or a change in its financial policy.  Any
shareholder-rewarding initiatives that increase leverage above 5x,
including a debt-financed divided, could also lead to a downgrade.


Although S&P views an upgrade as unlikely during the next 12-18
months, it could raise the corporate credit rating if the company
diversifies its business lines and or undertakes further
significant geographic diversification.

LMCHH PCP: Sales Procedures for Miscellaneous Property Approved
---------------------------------------------------------------
Jerry A. Brown of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Louisiana authorized the sales procedures of LMCHH PCP,
LLC and Louisiana Medical Center and Heart Hospital, LLC in
connection with the private sales of inventory and equipment
("Miscellaneous Property").

The sales are free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances,
with such interests attaching to the proceeds.

These Miscellaneous Property Sales Procedures will apply if the
Miscellaneous Property the Debtors propose to sell is valued in the
aggregate at less than $150,000: the Debtors may sell such items of
Miscellaneous Property without prior notice or approval, except
prior notice shall be given no later 48 hours before a proposed
sale to counsel to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
and counsel to MidCap Funding IV Trust, and will file with the
Court a quarterly report detailing the Miscellaneous Property sold,
to whom the Miscellaneous Property was sold, the date of such sale,
the amount such item was sold for and the relationship between the
purchaser of the Miscellaneous Property and the Debtors.

These Miscellaneous Property Sales Procedures will apply if the
Miscellaneous Property the Debtors propose to sell is valued in the
aggregate at greater than $150,000, includes Alleged Consignment
Goods, includes the sale of Miscellaneous Property in which third
parties may have an interest, or includes Third Party Equipment,
and to the sale of Miscellaneous Property to an Insider:

          a. The Debtors will serve the Miscellaneous Property Sale
Notice to all interested parties.

          b. The Miscellaneous Property Sale Objection Deadline is
4:00 p.m. (CST) on the day that is 5 calendar days from the date
the Miscellaneous Property Sale Notice is served.

          c. An Objection will be considered timely only if it is
served on all parties with a particularized interest in the
Miscellaneous Property on or before the Miscellaneous Property Sale
Objection Deadline.

          d. If no Objection is timely filed and served by the
Miscellaneous Property Sale Objection Deadline, the Debtors may
immediately sell the Miscellaneous Property listed in the
Miscellaneous Property Sale Notice and take any and all actions
reasonably necessary to close the sale of the Miscellaneous
Property and obtain the sale proceeds including, without
limitation, as provided in the Miscellaneous Property Sale Notice.


          e. If an Objection is timely filed by the Miscellaneous
Property Sale Objection Deadline, and cannot be settled by the
parties, the Miscellaneous Property that is the subject of the
Objection will not be sold without prior order of the Court,
provided, however, that any Miscellaneous Property set forth in the
Miscellaneous Property Sale Notice that is not the subject of an
Objection may be immediately sold in accordance with the foregoing
sentence.

          f. To the extent an Objection is timely filed by the
Miscellaneous Property Sale Objection Deadline, and cannot be
settled by the parties, or to the extent that the proposed
purchaser of the Miscellaneous Property requests a finding that the
sale satisfies Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor
may seek a determination from the Court at a hearing before the
Court on 10 days' notice.

          g. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, a reply to an
Objection may be filed with the Court and served on or before 12:00
p.m. (CST) on the day that is at least 2 business days before the
date of the applicable hearing.  The Miscellaneous Property Sale
Procedures satisfy Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 6007.

The provision in Bankruptcy Rule 6004(g) staying an order
authorizing the use, sale, or lease of property until the
expiration of 10 days after entry of the order is waived in respect
of the sale of any Miscellaneous Property made in accordance with
the Order.

To the extent the Debtors are unable to sell individual items of
Miscellaneous Property, such items may be abandoned by the Debtors
pursuant to section 554 of the Bankruptcy Code and in accordance
with otherwise applicable law without further notice to the Court.

In the event the Debtors generate proceeds from the sale of
Miscellaneous Property ("Sale Proceeds"), the Debtors will deposit
the Sale Proceeds into the Sales Proceeds Account with such liens
attaching to the Sale Proceeds in their lawful rank and priority as
they existed on the Petition Date.

If the Debtors desire to use Sale Proceeds to support their
operations, they will first seek authority from the Court in a
separate motion and hearing that may be scheduled on an expedited
basis, no earlier than 5 business days after the filing of such
motion, with objections due no later than 36 hours before the
scheduled hearing.

The Order will be immediately effective and enforceable upon its

LUKE'S LOCKER: Rosen to Auction Surplus Assets
----------------------------------------------
Luke's Locker, Inc., 2L Austin, LLC, and The Quality Lifestyle I,
Ltd., ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Texas to sell surplus assets by auction to be conducted by Rosen
Systems, Inc.

The Debtors operate retail stores throughout Texas, known as Luke's
Locker, that specialize in running and fitness apparel, footwear,
and other related goods, with a particular focus on providing
excellent customer service.  They also provide training programs
(running and walking) for their customers, and they help sponsor
and host numerous running and walking events throughout the year,
including everything from charitable 5Ks to free weekly social runs
from the stores.  Luke's Locker is a recognized leader in its
industry, having won numerous D Magazine Readers' Choice and Best
of Big D awards throughout the years.

Unfortunately, as is the case with the brick-and-mortar retail
business in general, Luke's Locker suffers from undercutting online
competition, though it nevertheless has a fiercely loyal customer
base.  Luke's Locker also undertook an aggressive expansion
campaign in recent years, opening numerous new stores.  This led to
the Debtors entering into various leases that, with the benefit of
hindsight, are more burdensome than the Debtors anticipated.

These problems and others combined to create a serious liquidity
crisis.  Luke's Locker turns over inventory quickly and with good
margins.  But without adequate liquidity, Luke's Locker has had a
harder and harder time acquiring inventory.  And as Luke's began to
fall behind with its principal vendors, those vendors began
demanding cash in advance, further exacerbating the liquidity
crisis.  In spite of these problems, however, Luke's Locker still
produced $34 million in revenue during the last fiscal year. So the
Debtors sought protection under chapter 11 in order to reorganize
their financial affairs and reemerge from bankruptcy free of the
burdens that led to their current predicament.

After the bankruptcy filing, the Debtors permanently closed their
Austin, Highland Village, Houston, Katy, and Woodlands stores and
ultimately rejected the store leases associated with those closed
locations.  The Debtors also closed their corporate office and will
be rejecting their central distribution warehouse lease at the end
of March 2017.  The Debtors currently intend to continue operating
only their Dallas, Fort Worth, Southlake, and Plano stores.

As a result of the closing of several store locations, the Debtors
now hold surplus store fixtures, mannequins, supplies, and
furniture and equipment, none of which are necessary to the
Debtors' future business operations ("Surplus Assets").  The
Surplus Assets are currently stored in the Debtors' central
distribution warehouse.

The Debtors recently met with Rosen to evaluate the Surplus Assets,
and based upon this meeting and Rosen's recommendations, the
Debtors believe that there is value in the Surplus Assets that
monetized through a sale for the benefit of the estate and all
creditors.  After reviewing their options, the Debtors have
determined that it is in the best interests of their bankruptcy
estates to engage Rosen to sell the Surplus Assets.

The Debtors ask authority to execute the Rosen's Seller
Agreement-Online Auction Secured Creditor.  Under the Rosen
Agreement, Rosen will advertise the online auction both online and
through print advertisement, prepare the assets for the online
auction, conduct the auction on their Web site, manage the online
bidding, and supervise the exchange with the buyers.  The Debtors
will grant Rosen access to their premises to allow Rosen to prepare
for the sale and to give the buyers sufficient time to remove their
purchases.  Rosen will conduct the auction and provide the other
services in exchange for a buyer's premium of 15%, plus
reimbursement of Rosen's actual expenses, which are estimated to be
approximately $4,500.

A copy of the Rosen Agreement attached to the Motion is available
for free at:

       http://bankrupt.com/misc/Lukes_locker_133_Sales.pdf

The Debtors' only secured creditor is Nike USA, Inc.  Nike has a
lien against all of the Debtors' assets to secure payment of a
promissory note in the principal amount of $2 million.  The Surplus
Assets constitute Nike's collateral, and the Surplus assets may
also be encumbered by liens of various taxing authorities.  The
Debtors propose that any such liens will attach to the proceeds of
the auction without any change in priority.  To the extent
necessary, the Debtors request that Rosens' expenses be charged
against the Surplus Assets under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

In addition, to the extent that Nike, the Debtor, and the various
taxing authorities are able to reach an agreement as to the
allocation and distribution of any proceeds from the sale of the
Surplus Assets, the Debtors ask authority to disburse the proceeds
to Nike and the various taxing authorities in accordance with any
allocation agreement reached between the parties.

To the extent necessary, the Debtors ask that the Court approve
Rosen's expenses, as otherwise provided for in Rosen Agreement, as
a surcharge against the Surplus Assets and their proceeds under
section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, which specifically provides
for a surcharge against collateral for the costs of the disposition
of such collateral.

Selling the Surplus Assets will allow the Debtors to realize any
equity in such Surplus Assets and immediately pay down the secured
claims of its secured creditors, thereby reducing the amount of
claims against the Debtors.  Selling the Surplus Assets will allow
the Debtors to save costs associated with such Surplus Assets,
including maintenance, insurance, and other costs associated
therewith.  The Debtors intend to vacate their central distribution
warehouse by the end of March 2017 to prevent additional
administrative rent claims from accruing and will be unable to do
so unless the Surplus Assets are sold and removed from the facility
by the end of March 2017.  Accordingly, the Debtors ask the Court
to approve the relief sought.

Pursuant to Rule 6004(h) of the Bankruptcy Rules, the Debtors ask
that the Court waives the 14-day stay of any final order granting
the Motion and order that the final relief requested in the Motion
be immediately available upon the entry of an order approving the
Sale.

MARIE EGNASKO: Wu and Talercio Buying Apartment Interests for $1M
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Marie Egnasko asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York to authorize the sale of her interest in the
apartment known as Apartment C705 ("Apartment") located at 264 East
Broadway, New York, New York, interests to Yue Wu and Mark Talercio
for $998,000.

Since 1963, Ms. Egnasko has resided in the Apartment.  Ms.
Egnasko's interest in the Apartment is derived through her
ownership of shares in Seward Park Housing Corporation ("Coop
Shares"), the legal owner of the Apartment, and a related
proprietary lease ("Lease").

Ms. Egnasko and her husband, Charlie, have faced a variety of
health-related expenses in the recent past, including that their
daughter-in-law became ill with brain cancer.  The Egnaskos decided
to borrower money to assist the family during these tough times.
On Dec. 22, 2006, the Egnaskos executed a promissory note in favor
of Eastern Savings Bank ("ESB") in the principal sum of $300,000
("Loan").

To secure the Loan, ESB required the Egnaskos to sign an agreement
granting ESB a security interest in the Coop Shares and her
interest in the Lease ("Apartment Interests").  Soon after entering
into the Loan, Ms. Egnasko's husband, Charlie, passed away.  This
event reduced the household income significantly.  As a result, Ms.
Egnasko experienced significant financial hardship, which
ultimately led to her filing of this bankruptcy case.

On May 17, 2016, Ms. Egnasko and ESB entered into a Stipulation,
which was So Ordered by the Court on Aug. 1, 2016.  The Stipulation
provided, among other things, that ESB would have a secured claim
in the amount of $531,057.

The Debtor determined in her judgment that it would be in the best
interest of the Debtor's estate to market and sell her Apartment
Interests.  The Debtor determined that the Bobbie Weiss Real Estate
("Broker") possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to procure
a purchaser for the Apartment Interests.  

Accordingly, on Dec. 19, 2016, the Debtor entered into an exclusive
Listing Agreement with the Broker.  The Listing Agreement provides,
among other things, that the Broker will list her Apartment
Interests for sale at a price of $1,050,000 and that the Broker's
commission will be 3% of the sale price.

Recent sales of comparative properties are averaging $975,000.  In
January 2017, the Broker began advertisement of the Apartment on
its Web site, www.BWRE.com, as well as several other prominent real
estate Websites such as www.trulia.com, www.zillow.com and
www.streeteasy.com.

The Broker has received one offer of $998,000 for the Apartment
Interests from the Purchasers.  The Broker and the Debtor believe
that the offer is likely to be the highest and best offer they
receive for the Apartment Interests.

The Purchasers currently live in the Debtor's Coop and are thus
familiar with the building and the Apartment and should be able to
close on the sale with less due diligence and more quickly than
other potential purchasers.

After discussions with the Broker and the Purchasers' counsel, the
Debtor has decided to sell her Apartment Interests pursuant to the
terms and conditions of a Contract of Sale by and between the
Debtor and the Purchasers.

The pertinent terms of the Purchase Agreement are:

          a. Purchased Assets will be 100% the Debtor's Interests
in the Apartment, including without limitation all shares in the
Coop and the proprietary lease associated therewith.

          b. Purchase Price: $998,000

          c. Deposit: $99,800 (paid in escrow)

          d. Terms: Free and clear of all liens, claims and
interests.

          e. Closing: May 4, 2017

On March 6, 2017, the Purchasers signed the Purchase Agreement
wired the Deposit to Debtor's counsel.

A copy of the Purchase Agreement attached to the Motion is
available for free at:

         http://bankrupt.com/misc/Marie_Egnasco_152_Sales.pdf

The Debtor has concluded in her business judgment that the value of
Debtor's assets will be maximized for the benefit of the estate if
they are sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  The Debtor does
not believe a public auction of the Apartment Interests will yield
a higher or better offer.  Accordingly, the Debtor asks the Court
to authorize the sale of her Apartment Interests to Purchasers
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and
granting the Debtor such other and further relief the Court deems
just and proper.

The Purchasers:

          Yue Wu and Mark Talercio
          266 East Broadway, Apt. B1007
          New York, NY 10002

MARINA BIOTECH: Presents Clinical Data on Celecoxib FDC
-------------------------------------------------------
On March 4 and March 5, 2017, Dr. Vuong Trieu, the Chairman of the
Board of Directors of Marina Biotech, Inc., presented a poster on
the clinical development of Celecoxib-Lisinopril FDC (IT-102) and
Celecoxib-Olmesartan FDC (IT-103) against combined arthritis /
hypertension at the 7th International Conference on Fixed
Combination in the Treatment of Hypertension, Dyslipidemia and
Diabetes Mellitus in Cannes, France.  A copy of the presentation is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K
available at: https://is.gd/gcOqGt.

                            About Marina Biotech

Marina Biotech, Inc., headquartered in Bothell, Washington, is a
biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and
commercialization of nucleic acid-based therapies utilizing gene
silencing approaches such as RNA interference ("RNAi") and
blocking messenger RNA ("mRNA") translation.  The Company's goal is
to improve human health through the development, either through its
own efforts or those of its collaboration partners and licensees,
of these nucleic acid-based therapeutics as well as the delivery
technologies that together provide superior treatment options for
patients.  The Company has multiple proprietary technologies
integrated into a broad nucleic acid-based drug discovery platform,
with the capability to deliver novel nucleic acid-based
therapeutics via systemic, local and oral administration to target
a wide range of human diseases, based on the unique characteristics
of the cells and organs involved in each disease.

On June 1, 2012, the Company announced that, due to its financial
condition, it had implemented a furlough of approximately 90% of
its employees and ceased substantially all day-to-day operations.
Since that time substantially all of the furloughed employees have
been terminated.  As of Sept. 30, 2012, the Company had
approximately 11 remaining employees, including all of its on
reduced salary.  As a result, since June 1, 2012, its internal
research and development efforts have been minimal, pending
receipt of adequate funding.

Marina Biotech reported net income applicable to common
stockholders of $2.64 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015,
compared to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $12.47
million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014.

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Marina Biotech had $6.88 million in total
assets, $5.47 million in total liabilities and $1.40 million in
total stockholders' equity.

Wolf & Company, P.C., in Boston, Massachusetts, issued a "going
concern" qualification on the consolidated financial statements for
the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, citing that the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations, has a significant accumulated
deficit and does not have sufficient capital to fund its
operations.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.


MCCLATCHY CO: Incurs $34.1 Million Net Loss in 2016
---------------------------------------------------
The McClatchy Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its annual report on Form 10-K disclosing a net loss of
$34.1 million on $977 million of advertising, audience and other
revenue for the year ended Dec. 25, 2016, compared to a net loss of
$300 million on $1 billion of advertising, audience and other
revenue for the year ended Dec. 27, 2015.

As of Dec. 25, 2016, The McClatchy Company had $1.8 billion in
total assets, $1.7 billion in total liabilities and $113.9 million
in total stockholder's equity.

In 2016, total revenues decreased 7.5% compared to 2015 primarily
due to the continued decline in demand for print advertising. The
largest impact on print advertising came from large retail
advertisers who began reducing preprinted insert advertising and
in-newspaper ROP advertising in 2015, which continued in 2016.
Other long-term factors contributing to the decline in print
advertising revenues is the desire of advertisers to reach online
customers, and the secular shift in advertising demand from print
to digital products.  As a result, the print advertising revenues
declines were partially offset by growth in digital advertising.

Total operating expenses decreased 26.7% in 2016 compared to 2015.
The decrease in 2016 was primarily due to lower impairment charges
incurred during 2016 compared to 2015.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $5.3 million as of
December 25, 2016, compared to $9.3 million of cash and cash
equivalents at December 27, 2015.  

They expect that most of their cash and cash equivalents, and their
cash generated from operations, for the foreseeable future will be
used to repay debt, pay income taxes, fund their capital
expenditures, invest in new revenue initiatives, digital
investments and enterprise-wide operating systems, make required
contributions to the Pension Plan, repurchase stock, and other
corporate uses as determined by management and their Board of
Directors.

                       About The McClatchy Company

Sacramento, Cal.-based The McClatchy Company (NYSE: MNI) --
http://www.mcclatchy.com/-- is a media company that provides both
print and digital news and advertising services.  Its operations
include 30 daily newspapers, community newspapers,
websites, mobile news and advertising, niche publications, direct
marketing and direct mail services.  Its owned newspapers include,
among others, the (Fort Worth) Star-Telegram, The Sacramento Bee,
The Kansas City Star, the Miami Herald, The Charlotte Observer, and
The (Raleigh) News & Observer.  The Company holds interest in
digital assets which include CareerBuilder, LLC, Classified
Ventures, LLC, HomeFinder, LLC, and Wanderful Media.

McClatchy reported a net loss of $300 million on $1.05 billion of
net revenues for the year ended Dec. 27, 2015, compared to net
income of $374 million on $1.14 billion of net revenues for the
year ended Dec. 28, 2014.

As of Sept. 25, 2016, McClathcy Co had $1.83 billion in total
assets, $1.68 billion in total liabilities and $155.5 million in
stockholders' equity.

                           *     *     *

McClatchy carries a 'Caa1' corporate family rating from Moody's
Investors Service.  In May 2011, Moody's changed the rating outlook
from stable to positive following the company's announcement that
it closed on the sale of land in Miami for $236 million.  The
outlook change reflects Moody's expectation that McClatchy will
utilize the net proceeds to reduce debt, including its underfunded
pension position, which will reduce
leverage by approximately half a turn and lower required
contributions to the pension plan over the next few years.

As reported by the TCR on April 2, 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services affirmed all ratings on U.S. newspaper company The
McClatchy Co., including the 'B-' corporate credit rating, and
revised the rating outlook to stable from positive.  The outlook
revision to stable reflects S&P's expectation that the timeframe
for a potential upgrade lies beyond the next 12 months, and could
also depend on the company realizing value from its digital
minority interests.

MESOBLAST LIMITED: FDA Grants Fast Track Designation for MSC-100-IV
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mesoblast Limited announced that the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has granted a Fast Track designation for the
use of its cell therapy, MSC-100-IV, to achieve improved overall
response rate in children with steroid refractory acute Graft
Versus Host Disease (aGVHD).  

Fast Track designation has the potential to shorten the time to FDA
approval of MSC-100-IV for this indication through priority review
(shortened FDA review process from 10 to 6 months) and a
streamlined rolling review process (completed sections of the
Biologics License Application, BLA, can be submitted for FDA review
as they become available, instead of waiting for all to be
completed).  The product candidate's existing Orphan Indication
designation may additionally lead to potential commercial benefits
following FDA approval.

Mesoblast's application for Fast Track status was supported by the
clinical data in 241 pediatric patients with steroid refractory
aGVHD who were treated on a single expanded access protocol (EAP)
with MSC-100-IV.  Overall response rate at Day 28 in this group was
65%, and day 100 survival was significantly improved in children
who achieved an overall response at day 28 (82% vs. 39%, log rank

a pro-rata basis.  This class is impaired under the Plan.

MILLAR WESTERN: S&P Lowers CCR to 'CC' on Distressed Exchange
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings said it lowered its long-term corporate credit
rating (CCR) on Edmonton, Alta.-based Millar Western Forest
Products Ltd. four notches to 'CC' from 'B-'.

At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level rating on the
company's senior unsecured notes to 'CC' from 'B-'.  S&P also
revised its recovery rating on the notes to '3' from '4',
indicating S&P's expectation of meaningful (50%-70%; rounded
estimate 55%) recovery in default, and we believe consistent with
the proposed exchange offer.

Finally, S&P Global Ratings placed all the ratings on CreditWatch
with negative implications.

Millar Western has announced a proposed exchange offering, which
S&P views as a distressed exchange, if completed.  In the proposed
exchange, the company's 8.5% senior unsecured notes due 2021 would
be exchanged partially for 9.0% new senior secured notes due 2022.

"The downgrade and CreditWatch placement reflect our view of the
proposed exchange offering as a distressed exchange," said S&P
Global Ratings credit analyst Alessio Di Francesco.

Millar Western has announced a proposed exchange offering in which
the company's existing 8.5% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (US$210
million of principal outstanding) will be exchanged for 9.0% senior
secured notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of the
principal amount of the existing notes plus new secured notes equal
to an additional 5% of the principal amount of the current notes
held by noteholders on or before March 31, 2017. S&P expects the
exchange transaction will be completed by
April 28, 2017.

S&P views the tender for the 2021 notes as stressed because
participating noteholders will receive less than the original
amount promised.

The CreditWatch placement reflects S&P's expectation that it will
lower the CCR to 'SD' (selective default) and the senior unsecured
notes rating to 'D' (default) when the proposed transaction is
complete, which S&P believes will occur by the end of April 2017.
Subsequently, S&P plans to reassess the company's prospective
credit profile, and assign a long-term CCR and outlook that would
reflect S&P's assessment of Millar Western's liquidity, as well as
the company's financial risk profile, based on the revised capital
structure.

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on March 6, 2017, the
Debtor filed the Plan which proposes that unsecured creditors
receive full payment of their claims.  The Plan proposes to pay in
full the Debtor's trade creditors, which hold Class 11 general
unsecured claims.  These creditors assert a total of $13,042 in
claims.

MPM HOLDINGS: Net Loss Widens to $163 Million in 2016
-----------------------------------------------------
MPM Holdings Inc. (OTCQX: MPMQ) announced results for the fourth
quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.

The Company posted a Net loss of $118 million for the fourth
quarter of 2016 from a net loss of $37 million for the same period
in 2015.  It posted a Net loss of $163 million for 2016 from a net
loss of $83 million for 2015.

The Company said Net sales for the three months ended December 31,
2016 were $544 million, a decrease of 1% compared with $549 million
in the prior-year period. The decrease in net sales reflected lower
volumes of siloxane derivative products partially offset by
improved product mix in specialty and value added products and
higher quartz business sales.

Net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 were $2.23
billion, a decrease of 2% compared with $2.29 billion in the
prior-year period. The decrease in net sales reflected lower
volumes in line with the Company’s intentional efforts to reduce
underperforming siloxane derivative products and increase sales in
higher margin specialty portions of our portfolio.

At December 31, 2016, Momentive had net debt, which is total debt
less cash and cash equivalents, of approximately $1.0 billion. In
addition, at December 31, 2016, Momentive had approximately $439
million in liquidity, including $224 million of unrestricted cash
and cash equivalents and $215 million of availability under its
senior secured asset-based revolving loan facility. Momentive
expects to have adequate liquidity to fund its operations for the
foreseeable future from cash on its balance sheet, cash flows
provided by operating activities and amounts available for
borrowings under the ABL Facility.

Momentive said its global restructuring programs and siloxane
production transformation are expected to generate $45 million in
annual savings. Through December 31, 2016, Momentive achieved $29
million of savings under this program. The Company expects to
complete the global restructuring program and deliver approximately
$16 million of savings in 2017. Momentive has accrued approximately
$17 million of related restructuring expenses, of which
approximately $13 million has been incurred to date.

"We are pleased to report strong fourth quarter and fiscal year
2016 results reflecting ongoing progress on our transformation
initiatives," said Jack Boss, Chief Executive Officer and
President.  "In 2016, our results reflected meaningful product mix
improvement. While overall volume was lower due to intentional
declines in our basics business, specialty volume was up 5 percent
year-over-year, as we achieved gains in key portions of the
specialty silicones portfolio driving EBITDA margin accretion."

Mr. Boss added: "In the fourth quarter, we ceased siloxane
production at our Leverkusen, Germany facility and have commenced
sourcing related intermediates under long-term third-party
contracts and from other Momentive global sites. We view this as an
important first step in transforming Momentive’s global siloxane
footprint and expect this initiative will provide $10 million of
run-rate savings. We are also accelerating investments in our
differentiated technologies and are on track to complete our
flagship $30 million NXT* capacity expansion at Leverkusen later
this year. This investment, along with the recent acquisition of
the operating assets of Sea Lion Technology, reinforces our
strategy to expand our NXT silane availability to serve our global
customers. We enter 2017 with solid momentum and strong potential
stemming from our growth initiatives, investments in operational
reliability and our global restructuring program."

At Dec. 31, 2016, the Company had total assets of $2.606 billion
against total liabilities of $2.124 billion and total equity of
$482 million.

MPW estimated assets at $0 to $50,000 and liabilities at $1 million
to $10 million.

The Debtors are represented by Michael D. Seese, at Seese, P.A.

MUNCIE INDIANA: U.S. Trustee Unable to Appoint Committee
--------------------------------------------------------
The Office of the U.S. Trustee on March 9 disclosed in a court
filing that no official committee of unsecured creditors has been
appointed in the Chapter 11 case of Muncie Indiana Properties,
LLC.

Headquartered in Muncie, Indiana, Muncie Indiana Properties, LLC,
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr. S.D. Ind. Case
No. 17-00567) on Feb. 3, 2017, estimating its assets and
liabilities at between $500,001 and $1 million.  Eric C. Redman,
Esq., at Redman Ludwig PC serves as the Debtor's bankruptcy
counsel.


NAVEX ACQUISITION: S&P Cuts Rating on 1st Lien Facilities to 'B-'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its issue-level rating on Portland,
Ore.-based corporate ethics and compliance software provider NAVEX
Acquisition LLC's senior secured first-lien credit facilities to
'B-' from 'B'.  S&P also revised its recovery rating on the
first-lien facilities to '3' from '2'.  The '3' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation of meaningful (50%-70%; rounded
estimate: 65%) recovery in the event of a payment default.  The
rating action follows the company's announced repricing on its
existing debt and subsequent leverage-neutral, refinancing
transaction.  This transaction will keep NAVEX's total funded debt
at approximately $365 million, and consequently, S&P's view of
adjusted leverage in the low-10x area, remains unaffected.  The
company will increase its first-lien term loan by $50 million and
simultaneously use the proceeds to pay down $50 million of
second-lien term loan.

S&P's 'B-' corporate credit rating and stable rating outlook on
NAVEX remain unchanged.  The stable outlook reflects S&P's
expectation for continued growth in the ethics and compliance
software market and a stable recurring revenue base, which will
enable NAVEX Acquisition LLC to generate free cash flow and
modestly reduce leverage over the next 12 months.

                         RECOVERY ANALYSIS

S&P's simulated default scenario assumes a default in 2017 due to
major contract losses, significantly lower renewal rates resulting
from systems and technology failures, and clients' greater reliance
on in-house programs.  These events ultimately would lead to lower
revenue, cash flow, and liquidity for the company.

   -- Emergence EBITDA: about $35 mil.
   -- Multiple: 6x.
   -- Net recovery value for waterfall after administrative
      expenses: approximately $200 mil.
   -- Obligor/non obligor valuation split: 100%/0%.
   -- Estimated first lien claim: approximately $300 mil.
   -- Value available for first lien claim: approximately
      $200 mil.
      -- Recovery expectations: meaningful (50%-70%; rounded
      estimate: 65%).
   -- Estimated second lien claim: approximately $85 mil.
   -- Value available for second lien claim: $0.
      -- Recovery expectations: Negligible (0% to 10%; rounded
      estimate: 0%).

ODYSSEY CONTRACTING: Discloses More Info on Pending Lawsuits
------------------------------------------------------------
Odyssey Contracting Corp. filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Western District of Pennsylvania an amended disclosure
statement accompanying the plan of reorganization dated Dec. 29,
2016.

In the amended disclosure statement, the Debtor disclosed that its
bank accounts had current balances of approximately $45,000.  In
the previously filed disclosure statement, the Debtor disclosed its
bank accounts had current balances of approximately $70,000.

The Debtor also disclosed additional information regarding the
status of its ongoing litigation.  The Debtor said a trial is
scheduled for August 2017 in its case against L&L Painting Co.,
Inc., and Federal Insurance Company.  Damages sought in the case is
$14,000,000, a full recovery of which, according to the latest
amended disclosure statement, would fully fund the Debtor's Plan.

Unsecured Class 12 includes the claims of the general unsecured
creditors, which assert claims in the approximate aggregate amount
of $2.75 million.  The Debtor disputes some of the claims asserted
by the claimants in this class and will object.

The Debtor will continue to address its postpetition obligations
via the ongoing operation of its business and will address the
prepetition claims in the Chapter 11 case via a Plan of
Reorganization to be funded primarily from anticipated recoveries
in litigation, which is pending in regard to the monies owed to
Debtor for work performed which has not been paid.  The Debtor is
seeking damages in an approximate aggregate amount in excess of
$28,000,000 in the pending litigation.

If the Debtor were to be unsuccessful in its litigation, a
liquidation of the Debtor's other assets would result in payment to
the secured creditor, i.e. PNC Bank, only and even PNC would
receive only a fraction of their claim amount.

The Debtor holds a 50% interest in a joint venture known as
Odyssey-Geronimo JV which interest is of an unknown value but which
is believed to be nominal.  The joint venture, however, is the
actual plaintiff in one of the pieces of litigation being pursued
and thus Debtor's interest in the joint venture may well produce
significant monies to fund the Debtor's Plan of Reorganization if
the joint venture is successful in the litigation (which Debtor
expects).

The Amended Disclosure Statement is available at:

          http://bankrupt.com/misc/pawb15-22330-185.pdf

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter on Jan. 6, 2017, the
Debtor filed with the Court a plan of reorganization and
accompanying disclosure statement dated Dec. 29, 2016, stating that
ongoing business operations would not be the primary source of
funding for the Debtor's Plan.  Rather, the primary source of
funding for the Debtor's Plan is the litigation in which the Debtor
is seeking damages in the approximate aggregate amount
$28,000,000.

ON-CALL STAFFING: PCO Appointment Not Necessary, Court Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Jason D. Woodard of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Mississippi entered an Order waiving the
appointment of a Patient Care Ombudsman for On-Call Staffing, Inc.

The Order was made pursuant to the Debtor's Motion for
Determination that the Appointment of Patient Care Ombudsman is
Unnecessary.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtor
asserted that the appointment of a PCO in its Chapter 11 case is
unnecessary because:

   (a) most of the patients are of such a physical and/or mental
condition that they are able to protect their rights or otherwise
act for themselves in most respects;

   (b) the patients are being cared for in their homes and other
family members are present;

   (c) that the proceedings are entered into for the purpose of
restructuring and recapitalizing the Debtor and dealing with
litigation concerning employee compensation and not due to patient
care issues the interests of the Debtor and its patients remain
aligned and its interests in high levels of patient care remain
unaffected;

   (d) in cases where the Debtor cannot provide nurses to
Functional, the latter will go somewhere else to get its nurses
and
the patients will not be affected;

   (e) the Debtor devotes substantial attention to ensure that the
appropriate care and management of its patients is provided at all
times; and

   (f) the regulatory and internal oversight and protections
already provide all the services that would be provided by an
ombudsman, therefore there is no need for duplicating these
services.

The Court further ordered that, should the Debtor experience any
negative trend that precipitates the appointment of a Patient Care
Ombudsman at a later time, the Court, upon a motion from the United
states Trustee or a party in interest, will consider and determine
if the appointment of a patient care ombudsman should be made at
the time.

On-Call Staffing, Inc., filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. N.D.
Miss. Case No. 16-13823) on Oct. 28, 2016.  The Debtor is
represented by J. Walter Newman, IV, Esq., at Newman & Newman.  At
the time of the filing, the Debtor estimated assets at $100,001 to
$500,000 and liabilities at $500,001 to $1 million.


OYSTER BAY: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Rating on GO Bonds; Outlook Positive
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings has revised the outlook on Oyster Bay, N.Y.'s
general obligation (GO) bonds to positive from negative.  S&P also
affirmed its 'BB+' long-term rating on the bonds.

"The outlook revision reflects the steps the town has taken to
restore structural balance and begin replenishing its accumulated
negative reserve balance," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst
Victor Medeiros.  For the fiscal 2017 budget year, the town adopted
a budget that included an 11.5% property tax levy increase that is
anticipated to generate $24 million in new revenues.  In addition,
it recently settled labor union contracts that would roll back
labor costs by 2% in 2017 and 2018, although they would then be
restored in 2019 and raised 1.9% annually in 2020 and 2021.

"We believe these actions, coupled with realistic budgetary
assumptions, are sufficient to stabilize fiscal operations in 2017,
and over the next two years, could improve budgetary performance,
budgetary flexibility, and liquidity factors to levels commensurate
with an investment-grade rating," said
Mr. Medeiros.

Oyster Bay, with an estimated population of 295,714, is in Nassau
County in the New York-Newark-Jersey City metropolitan area.

"We believe the town continues to face budgetary pressures as fixed
costs escalate and liquidity remains weak, leaving it vulnerable to
financial deterioration, particularly if the business, financial,
or economic environment worsens," added Mr. Medeiros.  However,
stronger revenue and assumption practices, coupled with a roll-back
of union salary costs, savings from attrition and retirement, and a
substantial tax levy increase, are positive steps in the town's
financial management and its ability to achieve structural balance
and begin restoring reserves.  Over time, a track record of
stronger budgetary performance through stronger financial
management practices and policies could likely improve the town's
overall credit quality and rating.



PALMETTO'S SMOKE: U.S. Trustee Unable to Appoint Committee
----------------------------------------------------------
The Office of the U.S. Trustee on March 9 disclosed in a court

PEABODY ENERGY: Bankruptcy Plan Supplement Filed

reclamation assurances, which relates to the Notice.

                  $1-Bil. Private Offering Closed

On Feb. 15, Peabody Energy closed its previously announced private
offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior
secured notes, consisting of $500 million of 6.000% senior secured
notes due 2022 and $500 million of 6.375% senior secured notes due
2025. The net proceeds of the offering have been funded into an
escrow account pending Peabody's emergence from bankruptcy.

The notes were issued by a special purpose wholly owned subsidiary
of Peabody in connection with the restructuring of Peabody as part
of the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri on Jan.
27, 2017.

If Peabody's exit plan is confirmed and certain other conditions
are satisfied on or before Aug. 1, 2017, the net proceeds from the
offering will be released from escrow to fund a portion of the
distributions to creditors provided for under the plan of
reorganization, and Peabody will become the obligor under the
notes.

Following Peabody's emergence from bankruptcy, the notes will be
jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally, guaranteed on
a senior secured basis by substantially all of Peabody's current
and future direct or indirect U.S. subsidiaries (subject to certain
exceptions). The notes will also be secured by a first priority
lien on substantially all of Peabody's tangible and intangible
assets (subject to certain exceptions).

The notes and related guarantees were offered and sold in a private
placement exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 and were offered and sold only to qualified
institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, and to
non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States under
Regulation S of the Securities Act. The notes have not been, and
will not be, registered under the Securities Act and may not be
offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and other
applicable securities laws.

In a regulatory filing, Peabody Energy said Peabody Securities
Finance Corporation as Issuer, a Delaware corporation and wholly
owned subsidiary of Peabody Energy Corporation, entered into an
indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee,
relating to the issuance by the Issuer of the Notes.  A copy of the
Indeture is available at https://is.gd/0Q2LWw

The 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.000% per annum.
Interest on the 2022 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on
March 31 and September 30 of each year, commencing on September 30,
2017. The 2022 Notes mature on March 31, 2022. The 2025 Notes bear
interest at a rate of 6.375% per annum. Interest on the 2025 Notes
is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 31 and September 30 of
each year, commencing on September 30, 2017. The 2025 Notes mature
on March 31, 2025.

The Issuer will deposit the net proceeds of the offering of the
Notes, together with additional funds deposited by the Company,
into an escrow account pending satisfaction of the conditions to
release of such proceeds from escrow. If the Plan is not confirmed
on or before August 1, 2017, the Notes will be subject to a special
mandatory redemption at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate
offering price of the applicable series of Notes, plus accrued and
unpaid interest from February 15, 2017 to, but not including, the
special mandatory redemption date. The escrowed proceeds would be
applied to pay for any such special mandatory redemption. If the
Plan is confirmed and certain other conditions are satisfied on or
before August 1, 2017, the net proceeds from the offering will be
released from escrow and the Company will become a co-obligor of
the Notes by executing a supplemental indenture and, thereafter,
become the sole issuer of the Notes upon the merger of the Issuer
with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving
corporation (the "Assumption").

Upon the Assumption, the Notes will be jointly and severally and
fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by
substantially all of the Company's material domestic subsidiaries
and will be secured by first priority liens over (i) substantially
all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors, except for
certain excluded assets, (ii) 100% of the capital stock of each
domestic restricted subsidiary of the Company, 100% of the
non-voting capital stock of each first tier foreign subsidiary of
the Company or a foreign subsidiary holding company and no more
than 65% of the voting capital stock of each first tier foreign
subsidiary of the Company or a foreign subsidiary holding company,
(iii) a legal charge of 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of
the non-voting capital stock of Peabody Investments (Gibraltar)
Limited and (iv) all intercompany debt owed to the Company or any
guarantor, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, including
that the Notes and guarantees will be secured by second priority
liens on certain collateral pledged under and upon the consummation
of any future asset-based revolving credit facility.

The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture. The Indenture
contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company and any
guarantors to, among other things, (i) incur additional
indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends on or make distributions in
respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments
or investments; (iii) enter into agreements that restrict
distributions from restricted subsidiaries; (iv) sell or otherwise
dispose of assets; (v) enter into transactions with affiliates;
(vi) create or incur liens; merge, consolidate or sell all or
substantially all of the Company's assets; (vii) place restrictions
on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other
payments to the Company; and (viii) designate the Company's
subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are
subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.
Upon the occurrence of a "change of control," as defined in the
Indenture, the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Notes
at 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at the redemption
prices and on the terms specified in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains customary events of default, including,
among other things, (i) failure to make required payments; (ii)
failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants; (iii)
failure to pay certain other indebtedness; (iv) certain events of
bankruptcy and insolvency; and (v) failure to pay certain
judgments. An event of default under the applicable Indenture will
allow either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding series of Notes,
as applicable, issued under such Indenture to accelerate, or in
certain cases, will automatically cause the acceleration of, the
amounts due under the applicable series of Notes.

                 Plan Approval Hearing on Thursday

As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors on
December 22, 2016, filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Joint Plan of
Reorganization and a related Disclosure Statement.  On January 25,
2017, they filed the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization and
the First Amended Disclosure Statement.  On January 27, they filed
with the Bankruptcy Court the Second Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization and the Second Amended Disclosure Statement to
address certain modifications resulting from a hearing before the
Bankruptcy Court on January 26.  Thereafter, on January 27, 2017,
the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving the Disclosure
Statement.

Bankruptcy Judge Barry S. Schermer scheduled the confirmation
hearing for March 16, 2017, at 10:00 A.M., Central Time.

Under the Second Amended Plan, in full settlement and satisfaction
of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors' Alleged Causes
of
Action, the Creditors' Committee Settlement provided that holders
of General Unsecured Claims (1) against PEC will have $5 million
of
cash available for distribution to Holders of Allowed General
Unsecured Claims in Class 5A that are not Convenience Claims in
Class 6A and (2) against one of the Encumbered Guarantor Debtors
will have an option to elect to receive on account of their
Allowed

Claims, a pro rata cash distribution from a pool of $75 million,
with recoveries to be capped at 50% of their Allowed Claims. The
total amount of cash available for holders of Convenience Claims
in
Class 6A is $2 million and Class 6B is $18 million.

Class 2A -2D (Second Lien Notes Claims) will recover an estimated
52.4% under the Plan.  Class 6A (PEC Convenience Claims) and Class
6B (Encumbered Guarantor Debtors Convenience Claims) will recover
an estimated 72.5%.  Class 7A-7E (MEPP Claims) will recover 85% to
90%.

Holders of general unsecured claims will recover:

   Class 5A (PEC)                           0.1%
   Class 5B (Encumbered Guarantor Debtors) 22.1%
   Class 5C (Gold Fields Debtors) less than 1.0%
   Class 5D (Gib 1)                         0.0%
   Class 5E (Unencumbered Debtors)         99.0%

Class 8A (PEC Unsecured Subordinated Debenture Claims) will recover
nothing. In accordance with the global settlement embodied in the
Plan, if Class 8A votes in favor of the Plan and certain other
conditions are satisfied, holders of Unsecured Subordinated
Debenture Claims will receive the Unsecured Subordinated Debenture
Penny
Warrants from the Noteholder Co- Proponents, which would provide
for an anticipated recovery of approximately 4.2%.

2017, is available at:

PEABODY ENERGY: Sale of Australian Assets Remains Pending
---------------------------------------------------------
In a recent regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Peabody Energy Corp. said the Australian Competition
and Consumer Commission issued on Feb. 22, 2017, a Statement of
Issues in relation to a sale transaction, noting that the ACCC is
continuing to review the Transaction.

As disclosed in Peabody's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2016, Peabody Australia Mining Pty Ltd,
one of the Company's Australian subsidiaries, entered into a

coal mine in New South Wales, Australia and the associated 16.67
percent interest in the Port Kembla Coal Terminal, to South32
Aluminium (Holdings) Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of South32 Limited, a
global mining and metals company with operations in Australia,
Southern Africa and South America.

Peabody also disclosed that the closing of the Transaction is
conditional on receipt of approval from the Australian Competition
and Consumer Commission.

The Company said it continues to work toward a successful closing
of the Transaction and does not expect the ultimate outcome of the
Transaction to impact the expected timing of the Company's
emergence from bankruptcy.

Peabody cautioned that nothing disclosed herein is intended to be,
nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on their
Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization filed with the
Bankruptcy Court on January 27, 2017.  The Plan will become
effective only if it is confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.  There can be no
assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan or that
the Plan will be implemented successfully.

Meanwhile, Peabody Energy disclosed that on February 19, 2017,
Peabody Twentymile Mining, LLC, a subsidiary, was issued an
imminent danger order under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977. The mine involved was the Twentymile
Mine located in Routt County, Colorado. On that date, an inspector
from the Mine Safety and Health Administration alleged that a miner
failed to de-energize a coal feeder prior to removing metal from
the moving conveyor. The miner was removed from the area and the
order was terminated without injury to any employees or damage to
any equipment.

PERFORMANCE SPORTS: Sagard's Desmarais Takes Over New Company
-------------------------------------------------------------
As reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, Performance Sports
Group Ltd., effective as of February 27, 2017, consummated the sale
of substantially all of the assets of the Company and its North
American subsidiaries, including its European and global
operations, to 9938982 Canada Inc., an acquisition vehicle co-owned
by affiliates of Sagard Holdings Inc. and Fairfax Financial
Holdings Limited, for U.S. $575 million in aggregate, subject to
certain adjustments, and the assumption of related operating
liabilities.  The Sale was the culmination of the process commenced
by the Sellers pursuant to creditor protection proceedings launched
on October 31, 2016 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice under
the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act and in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware.  The Company conducted a
court-supervised sale and auction process as part of its Canadian
and U.S. court proceedings. The bid made by the Purchaser served as
the "stalking horse" bid for purposes of the process and was
ultimately determined to be the successful bid in accordance with
the related court approved bidding procedures. The Courts approved
the Sale and associated reorganization transactions pursuant to an
order dated February 6, 2017, as supplemented on February 10.  

Paul Desmarais III, Executive Chairman of Sagard Holdings, will
serve as chairman of the new company as it transitions to new
leadership.  In a statement on the closing of the deal, he said:
"We are excited to build upon the achievements of some of the most
innovative and iconic brands in sports. In partnership with Fairfax
Financial, we look forward to growing a strong business that is
committed to serving a loyal base of customers for the long term.
We thank all of Performance Sports Group's people, and especially
Harlan Kent, for effectively managing the business through the
restructuring process and helping to position it for future
success."

Paul Rivett, President of Fairfax Financial, said: "The business is
founded upon the strong pillars of its portfolio of
industry-leading brands, strong customer relationships and
dedicated employees. We will work with Sagard Holdings and the
management team to continue innovating and delivering
industry-leading products to consumers around the world. We believe
that the business has a very bright future and we are excited to
help guide the company for many years to come."

Kent said: "During the restructuring process, our team worked very
hard to continue to provide outstanding products and service to our
customers and to be valued partners to our vendors. I am grateful
for the hard work and dedication of my colleagues and for the
continued support of our customers and vendors. We look forward to
working with the new owners to transition the business to its next
successful chapter."

Bernard McDonell, Chairman of the Board of Performance Sports
Group, said: "On behalf of the board, we would like to thank the
retiring directors, Harlan, and all the Company's employees for
their contributions to bringing this sale to completion. We wish
them all the best in their future endeavors."

In a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 8, the Company said that upon consummation of the Sale,
its two debtor-in-possession financing facilities:

     (i) a Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession ABL Credit
         Agreement dated as of October 31, 2016, as
         amended with, among others, Bank of America,
         N.A., as administrative agent and certain of
         the Company's other existing asset-based
         lenders providing a secured asset-based
         revolving credit facility of up to
         U.S.$200,000,000, and

     (ii) a Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan
         Credit Agreement dated as of October 31, 2016,
         as amended with 9938982 Canada Inc., providing
         a secured multiple draw term loan credit
         facility of up to U.S.$361,300,000,

matured in accordance with the terms of the DIP Facilities.

Each of the DIP Facilities and the prepetition ABL credit facility
provided pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement dated as of April 15,
2014, as amended with, among others, Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent and the various lenders party thereto from
time to time, were terminated and repaid in full.

The Company also announced that effective immediately following
closing of the Sale, Karyn O. Barsa, C. Michael Jacobi, Harlan Kent
and Bob Nicholson resigned from the board of directors of the
Company.

Effective upon the closing of the Sale, each of the Company's
executive officers -- other than Michael J. Wall, the Company's
Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary,
who will continue as an executive officer of the Company pursuant
to an independent contractor agreement following the termination of
his employment, and Brian Fox, who will continue as the Company's
Chief Restructuring Officer -- were terminated from all positions
with the Company and its subsidiaries, including: Harlan Kent, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mark Vendetti, the Company's
Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, Angela Bass, the
Company's Executive Vice President, Global Human Resources, Paul
Dachsteiner, the Company's Vice President of Information Services,
and Paul Gibson, the Company's Executive Vice President, Chief
Supply Chain Officer.

In a filing on March 2, Sagard et al. disclosed that they may be
deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 7,721,599 shares or
roughly 16.9% of the Company's common stock as of Feb. 27.  Sagard
and the Company also disclosed in separate SEC filings that
effective as of February 23, 2017, the parties entered into a
Second Amendment to the Purchase Agreement to extend the "outside
date" for the Sale to February 27.  Effective as of February 27,
the parties entered into a Third Amendment to the Purchase
Agreement which, among other things, settled certain matters in
dispute among the parties.

A copy of the Second Amendment is available at
https://is.gd/PueAIZ

A copy of the Third Amendment is available at https://is.gd/sYeLJx

The Purchase Agreement set the floor, or minimum acceptable bid,
for an auction. Under the bidding procedures approved by the
Courts, interested parties were required to submit qualified bids
to acquire substantially all of the Assets of the Sellers no later
than January 25, 2017. As no qualified bid was submitted by that
deadline, the auction scheduled for January 30, 2017 was not held.

Upon consummation of the Sale, the Company no longer carries on an
operating business but instead, along with its professional
advisors, is focused on the completion of its U.S. and Canadian
bankruptcy proceedings. This entails, among other things,
reconciling claims against the bankruptcy estates of the Sellers
and developing a distribution strategy for the sale proceeds in the
U.S. and Canadian court proceedings, whether through a liquidating
plan or otherwise.

                      Company Re-Organization

In anticipation of closing the Sale, the Company completed a Court
approved pre-closing corporate reorganization, comprising various
steps. These steps included the continuance of certain of its
subsidiaries from the Canada Business Corporations Act into the
Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA"), the
amalgamation of the Company with the subsidiaries continued under
the BCBCA (the "Amalgamation"), as well as the repayment of certain
intercompany indebtedness and related transactions.

Effective as of February 20, 2017, Performance Sports Group Ltd.
completed a short form vertical amalgamation with its direct and
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries Bauer Hockey Corp., KBAU
Holdings Canada, Inc. and BPS Canada Intermediate Corp. pursuant to
the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

As a result of the Amalgamation, the Notice of Articles of the
Company has been updated but remains substantively the same as the
Company's Notice of Articles before the Amalgamation.  

A copy of the Certificate of Amalgamation is available at
https://is.gd/8eDOzE

A copy of the Second Amended and Restated Articles, effective as of
February 20, 2017, is available at https://is.gd/gt9FXk

                    Related Party Transactions

Immediately prior to entering into the Purchase Agreement on
October 31, 2016, Sagard Capital Partners, L.P. ("Sagard"), an
affiliate of Sagard Holdings Inc., owned 7,721,5991 common shares
in the capital of the Company, representing approximately 17% of
the then total issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.
As a result, Sagard is considered to be a "related party" of the
Company for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws,
and the Purchase Agreement and the DIP Facilities are considered to
be "related party transactions", as defined in Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").

MI 61-101 requires that issuers obtain a formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval in respect of related party
transactions, unless applicable exemptions are available.

The Company has determined that exemptions from both such
requirements are available under Section 5.5(f) and Section 5.7(d)
of MI 61-101, respectively, as a result of the Sellers having
sought creditor protection under the CCAA in the Canadian Court.
Further, no prior valuations in respect of the Company were made in
the 24 months prior.  Neither the Purchase Agreement nor the DIP
Facilities affected the percentage of securities of the Company
beneficially owned or controlled by Sagard.

The Sale is a culmination of a previously announced financial and
strategic review undertaken by the special committee (the "Special
Committee") of the Board. The Special Committee, comprised of
independent directors, was advised throughout the process by
Centerview Partners LLC as its independent financial advisor. The
Special Committee's mandate included a review and evaluation of
strategic alternatives and oversight over discussions with the
Company's lenders under its Term Loan Credit Agreement.

The Special Committee undertook a financial and strategic review
and after consideration of all available alternatives and having
given due consideration to the interests of all stakeholders, the
board of directors of each of the Sellers, upon the unanimous
recommendation of the Special Committee and with the assistance,
input and advice of legal and financial advisors, determined that
entering into the Purchase Agreement and the DIP Facilities and
seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the
CCAA was in the best interests of the Company and its
subsidiaries.

PETROQUEST ENERGY: Cancels Registration of Unsold Securities
------------------------------------------------------------
PetroQuest Energy, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission post-effective amendments to these registration
statements:

   (a) Registration Statement No. 333-124746 which registered
       2,152,692 shares of the Company's common stock for resale
       by certain selling stockholders;

       5,128,500 shares of the Company's common stock for resale

       8,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for resale
       by certain selling stockholders.

The Company has no obligation to keep the Registration Statements
effective pursuant to the terms of its registration rights
agreement with the selling stockholders.  Because the Company no
longer satisfies the eligibility requirements of Form S-3, the
Company has filed the Post-Effective Amendments to terminate the
registration of any securities that remain unsold under the
Registration Statement.

Accordingly, the Company amended the Registration Statements to
remove from registration the securities covered by the Registration
Statements which remain unsold.

                      About PetroQuest

PetroQuest Energy, Inc., is an independent energy company engaged
in the exploration, development, acquisition and production of oil
and natural gas reserves in East Texas, Oklahoma, South Louisiana
and the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  PetroQuest's common
stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PQ.

In its quarterly report for the period ending June 30, 2016, the
Company stated, "Our substantially decreased level of capital
spending has had and is expected to continue to have a negative
impact on our production and cash flow from operating activities.
We expect production to continue to decline throughout 2016 and
when combined with current commodity prices and our existing cost
structure, including 10% interest expense on the $280 million of
debt represented by our 2017 Notes and 2021 Notes, we believe that
we will continue to incur significant losses and negative cash
flow from operating activities for the remainder of 2016.  In
addition, $136 million of the indebtedness represented by our 2017
Notes will mature on September 1, 2017 and would be reflected as a
current liability on our September 30, 2016 balance sheet if not
refinanced prior to the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016, which would
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern," the Company stated in its quarterly report for the period
ended June 30, 2016.

"We are evaluating additional sources of liquidity including asset
sales, joint ventures, exchange offers and alternative financing
arrangements to replace the Credit Agreement, but there is no
assurance that these sources will provide sufficient, if any,
incremental liquidity.  We are also evaluating various options to
address the September 2017 maturity of our 2017 Notes as well as
assessing our overall capital structure.  These options include
additional public or private exchanges of 2017 Notes for new
secured debt and/or common stock, refinancing the 2017 Notes with
unsecured debt and/or common stock as well as a broader
restructuring of our 2017 and 2021 Notes.  To assist the Board of
Directors and management team in evaluating these options, we have
retained Jefferies LLC and Seaport Global as our financial advisors
and Porter Hedges LLP as our legal advisor.  There is no assurance
that any refinancing or debt or equity restructuring will be
possible or that additional equity or debt financing can be
obtained on acceptable terms, if at all.  If we are unable to
improve our liquidity position, and refinance or restructure our
debt, we may seek bankruptcy protection to continue our efforts to
restructure our business and capital structure.  As a part of that
process, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less
than the value at which those assets are carried on our
consolidated financial statements."

As of Sept. 30, 2016, Petroquest had $174.4 million in total
assets, $411.2 million in total liabilities and a total
stockholders' deficit of $236.8 million.

                       *     *     *

PetroQuest Energy carries a 'Caa3' corporate family rating from
Moody's Investors Service.

In October 2016, S&P Global Ratings raised the corporate credit
rating on PetroQuest Energy to 'CCC' from 'SD'.  "The upgrade
reflects our reassessment of the company's corporate credit rating
following the exchange of the majority of its outstanding 10%
senior unsecured notes due September 2017 at par," said S&P Global
Ratings credit analyst Daniel Krauss.  The negative outlook
reflects the company's current debt leverage levels, which S&P
views to be unsustainable, as well as its less than adequate
liquidity position.


POST EAST: Unsecureds to Get Share of $3,000 Under Connect's Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Connect REO, LLC, a secured creditor of Post East, LLC, filed with
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut an
amended disclosure statement dated March 1, 2017, referring to the
plan of reorganization for the Debtor.

Each holder of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims will receive any
remaining net proceeds available after payment to all
administration claims, priority claims, and secured claims,
including any deficiency owed to secured claims pro rata its share
of the net proceeds.  In the event no net sales proceeds remain,
this class will receive its pro rata share of $3,000 to be paid by
Connect REO, LLC.  This class is impaired by the Plan.

Payments under the Plan for Classes 1-5 and administrative claims
will be paid pursuant to the provisions set forth in those classes.
If the Court determines that an offering plan is necessary to
consummate the sale contemplated by the Plan, the plan
administrator will obtain approval of an offering plan and the cost
of it will be deducted from proceeds of the auction sale.

The transfer of the property under the Plan will be free and clear
of all liens, claims and encumbrances, unless otherwise set forth
in the Plan, with any liens, claims and encumbrances to attach to
the sale proceeds, and to be disbursed under the Plan, provided,
however, that any mortgagee will have the right, but not the
obligation, to provide for an assignment of its mortgage and an
assumption by the purchaser in connection with the sale of the
property under the Plan.  Secured creditors will retain its
deficiency rights and other rights under the loan documents.

ROJO SIX: Kurmas Entity Buying All Assets for $20K
--------------------------------------------------
Rojo Six, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan to authorize the private sale of substantially
all assets to an entity to be formed, managed by Raymond Kurmas for
$20,000.

An Order has been entered in the case directing the procedural
consolidation and joint administration of the chapter 11 cases of
Rojo One, LLC; Rojo Two, LLC; Rojo Four, LLC; Rojo Five, LLC; and
Rojo Six, LLC (Case No. 16-54348-mlo).

On Oct. 20, 2016, the Debtors filed a voluntary petition for relief
under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors' principal
places of business assets are located in Rochester, Michigan; Novi,
Michigan; Sterling Heights, Michigan; and Birmingham, Michigan.

Debtor Rojo One conducts business out of Novi, Michigan as Duel
Novi and operates as a dueling piano bar.  Debtor Rojo Two conducts
business out of Rochester, Michigan as Rojo Mexican Bistro and
operates as a restaurant.  Debtor Rojo Four conducts business out
of Sterling Heights, Michigan as Rojo Mexican Bistro and operates
as a restaurant.  Debtor Rojo Five conducts business out of
Birmingham, Michigan as Rojo Mexican Bistro and Sidecar Slider Bar
and operates as 2 restaurants.  Debtor Rojo Six conducts business
out of Novi, Michigan as Rojo Mexican Bistro and Michigan Beer
Company and operates as 2 restaurants.

Since July 2016, Thomas Hospitality Group was engaged by the Rojo
ownership to market the 5 existing restaurants.  Thomas Hospitality
specializes in restaurants, bars and nightclubs, and its employees
are specifically experienced in this industry and have personal
contacts with many of the key players in the hospitality industry.
Thomas Hospitality Group performed a valuation report of the
Debtor.

The Debtor received a Letter of Intent, dated Jan. 29, 2017, from
the Purchaser for the purchase of all assets.  The purchase price
for the assets is $20,000 plus certain cure costs associated with
the Debtor's assumption and assignment.  The purchase price is
subject to increase or decrease on account of certain prorations
and adjustments customarily prorated between a purchaser and a
seller of similar assets.  The Purchaser has made a good faith
deposit in the amount of $5,000 which will be credited to the
purchase price at Closing.

Except for certain cost to be paid by Purchaser pursuant to the
Agreement certain other costs to be paid by the Purchaser, the
Agreement requires that the Debtor deliver the assets to Purchaser
free and clear of all liens, claims, interests and encumbrances.

The consummation of the proposed sale to the Purchaser is
conditioned, among other things set forth the entry of a Sale Order
approving the sale by the Bankruptcy Court; assignment of the
existing lease to the Purchaser.

Luna Properties Novi, LLC is the landlord for the Debtor.  On Feb.
13, 2017, Luna Properties Novi filed a proof of claim in the amount
of $130,085 for unpaid rent, CAM and utility charges.  The Debtor
has also incurred post-petition lease obligations.

The Debtor entered into two Lease Agreements: (i) Rojo Six, LLC,
doing business as Michigan Beer Exchange and Luna Properties, dated
June 10, 2015; and (ii) Rojo Six, LLC, doing business as Rojo
Mexican Bistro, dated June 1, 2014.

On Feb. 1, 2017, the Debtor filed a Motion for Order Authorizing
the Sale of Substantially All of the Assets of the Debtor Free and
Clear of All Liens, Claims, Interests and Encumbrances on behalf of
Rojo Six.  Paragraph 11 of the Motion stated that there would be an
assumption and assignment of the leases to the purchaser of the
assets with the agreed upon cure costs.  The parties finalized
terms of the assumption and assignment of the leases with cure
costs subsequent to the filing of the Motion.  Upon conclusion of
same, the instant Amended Motion was filed.  Luna Properties Novi
has agreed to assignment of the leases to the purchaser of the
assets of Debtor provided that purchaser agrees to pay all past due
rent and obligations due under the lease agreements in equal
installments over the first six months of the new term of the
leases.

The assumption and assignment to the Purchaser of the Assumed
Agreements is necessary for the consummation, and is a condition
precedent to the closing, of the Agreement.  Accordingly, the
Debtor asks the Court to approve the assumption and assignment of
the Assumed Agreements.

The Debtor has concluded, in its business judgment, that the sale
of the property to the Purchaser will result in the highest and
best value for the assets, and that the sale of the assets is in
the best interests of the Debtor, the Debtor's estate, and its
creditors.  Accordingly, the Debtor asks the Court to approve the
relief sought.

The Debtor asks that Court waives the 14-day stay provision of
Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 6004(g).

                   About Rojo One, LLC

Rojo One, LLC and its four affiliates filed Chapter 11 petitions
(Bankr. E.D. Mich. Lead Case No. 16-54348) on Oct. 20, 2016.  The
petitions were signed by Daniel R. Linnen, sole member.  The
Debtors are represented by Aaron J. Scheinfield, Esq., at
Goldstein Bershad & Fried PC.

The Debtors' cases were procedurally consolidated and are jointly
administered.  The cases are assigned to Judge Maria L. Oxholm.

The Debtors each estimated assets at $0 to $50,000.  All the
Debtors, except for Rojo Five, estimated liabilities at $500,000
to $1 million.  Rojo Five estimated its liabilities at $1 million

SUPERIOR LINEN: Court Denies Bid for Ch. 11 Trustee Appointment
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Mike N. Nakagawa of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Nevada entered an Order denying the Motion to Appoint a
Chapter 11 Trustee for Superior Linen, LLC, and Conditionally
Denying the Motion to Convert the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case to
Chapter 7.

As previously reported by The Troubled Company Reporter, Tracy Hope
Davis, the United States Trustee for Region 17, asked the Court to
enter an order directing the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee
for the estate of the Debtor, or, in the alternative, convert the
case to one under Chapter 7, over the misconduct by the Debtor's
management.  The U.S. Trustee said the Debtor has shown a continued
and
repeated inability to do the most basic tasks of cash management
and accounting.  The Debtor's Chief Financial Officer, according to
the U.S. Trustee, admitted that the Debtor repeatedly bounced
checks at two successive banks prior to the bankruptcy.  Then after
the case was in bankruptcy, the Debtor opened a bank account and
concealed its bankrupt status from the bank in question, and
otherwise generally failed to comply (and continues to fail to
comply) with Section 345 of the Bankruptcy Code and the U.S.
Trustee Guidelines relating to bank account and cash management
requirements, the U.S. Trustee tells the Court.

Moreover, the Debtor appears to want to simply liquidate itself,
the U.S. Trustee says.  The U.S. Trustee, however, asserts that
the
estate and its creditors would be much better served to accomplish
that goal under the rubric of a chapter 7 liquidation (or a
chapter
11 trustee) with a disinterested fiduciary overseeing the sales
process, rather than the conflict-laden process seemingly
contemplated by the Debtor.

Judge Nakagawa further ordered that any sale of all or
substantially all of the Debtor's business must occur, if at all,
no later than June 14, 2017, and that any additional debtor in
possession financing requested or obtained by the Debtor must
include at least $45,000 in funds paid as "carveout" from the DIP
collateral to pay professionals of the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors.

The Court noted that the deadline for the Official Committee of
Unsecured Creditors and/or creditor Baltic Linen Co., Inc., to file
derivative actions or the other related claims is extended through
June 21, 2017.  The Court added that should any of the conditions
are not met, the United States Trustee may file an ex parte motion
to convert the case to one under Chapter 7, upload an ex parte
order, and the case shall be converted to one under Chapter 7.

                About Superior Linen

Superior Linen, LLC, doing business as Superior Linen and Laundry
Services, which operates as a commercial laundry and linen rental
company, filed a chapter 11 petition (Bankr. D. Nev. Case No.
16-15388) on Sept. 30, 2016. The petition was signed by Robert E.
Smith, chief financial officer.  The case is assigned to Judge Mike
N. Nakagawa. The Debtor estimated assets and debts at $10 million
to $50 million at the time of the filing.

The Debtor tapped Matthew C. Zirzow, Esq., at Larson & Zirzow, LLC,
as bankruptcy counsel. Paras Barnett, Esq., at Barnett & Associates
is serving as special counsel.  Province, Inc., serves as financial
and restructuring advisors.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 17 appointed three creditors of
Superior Linen, LLC to serve on the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors: Baltic Linen Company, Inc., United Cleaners Supply, Inc.
and Regent Apparel. The Committee is represented by Candace C.
Carlyon, Esq. and Matthew R. Carlyon, Esq., at Morris, Polich &

SWING HOUSE: Court Extends Plan Filing Deadline Through May 8
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert Kwan extended Swing House Rehearsal and Recording Inc.
and Philip Joseph Jaurigui's exclusive plan filing period through
May 8, 2017 and the corresponding exclusive solicitation period
through July 7, 2017.

As previously reported by the Troubled Company Reporter, the
Debtors believe that it would be premature to file a Plan at this
time. The Debtors asserted that a premature Plan will likely lead
to further delays in the plan confirmation process and will serve
only to increase the administrative costs of these cases as any
Plan filed now would undoubtedly have to be amended or modified
after the Claims Bar Date has passed.

                   About Swing House Rehearsal

Swing House Rehearsal and Recording, Inc. dba Swing House Studios
filed a Chapter 11 petition (Bankr. C.D. Cal. Case No. 16-24758),

president and secretary.  The case is assigned to Judge Robert N.
Kwan.  The Debtor is represented by Kurt Ramlo, Esq. and Jeffrey S.
Kwong, Esq., at Levene, Neale, Bender, Yoo & Brill L.L.P.  At the
time of filing, the Debtor estimated $1 million to $10 million in

TECK RESOURCES: Fitch Hikes IDR to BB & Alters Outlook to Positive
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has upgraded the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) for Teck
Resources Limited (Teck; NYSE: TECK; TSE: TECK.b) to 'BB' from 'B+'
along with Teck's outstanding debt. Pro forma for the pending
tender offer, about $5.1 billion in debt and $4.2 billion in senior
unsecured credit facilities are affected by these rating actions.

The Rating Outlook has been revised to Positive from Negative.

The two-notch upgrade with a Positive Outlook results from
significant repayment of debt coupled with improvement in the
metallurgical coal market, an upward revision in Fitch's commodity
price assumptions for copper and zinc, and free cash flow (FCF)
generation while capital spending is high. Fitch revised its price
assumptions for hard coking coal, copper and zinc on March 2, 2017.
Fitch expects funds from operations (FFO) adjusted leverage to
decline from 2.7x at Dec. 31, 2016 and remain at or below 2.5x
through 2019. Fitch had expected FFO leverage to be as high as 6x
and generally greater than 4x before the run-up in metallurgical
coal, evidence of better market balance in copper and short supply
in zinc.

COMPRESSED RATINGS OF GUARANTEED DEBT

Fitch upgraded the guaranteed notes and credit facilities to
'BB+/RR2' from 'BB-/RR3' and also upgraded the notes not
benefitting from guarantees to 'BB/RR4' from 'B-/RR6'. While the
guaranteed notes and credit facilities benefit from upstream
guarantees of intermediate holding companies, ratings could be
compressed if Fitch views Teck as sufficiently far from default to
rate the guaranteed obligations at the same level as the IDR.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

SHARP UPSWING IN COMMODITY PRICES

The more than doubling of metallurgical coal prices in the fourth
quarter of 2016 and improvement in zinc prices coupled with
continued weakness in the Canadian dollar resulted in improved FCF.
Fitch expects metallurgical coal prices to revert to more normal
levels as supply rebounds but improved profitability and FCF allows
Teck to rebuild liquidity and selectively repay debt.

Metallurgical coal prices sharply rebounded from lows in the first
quarter of 2016 as a result of China's implementing rules in April
2016 to reduce the number of statutory working days for its coal
miners to 276 a year from 330. This resulting production decline of
about 9% compares with relatively stable demand. China has relaxed
the rule to some degree and supply is gaining elsewhere. Fitch
expects prices to continue to moderate through 2019.

Teck advises that each $1/tonne change in the benchmark hard coking
coal price changes EBITDA by C$32 million, assuming realized prices
at 92% of benchmark, a C$/US$ exchange rate of 1.30, production at
27.5 million tonnes, and unit costs of coal sales at C$84/tonne for
2017. The benchmark hard coking coal price increased from $81/tonne
in early 2016 to $285/tonne for the first quarter of 2017 and the
spot price was $155/tonne mid-February 2017. Fitch expects hard
coking coal prices to average $165/tonne in 2017, $135/tonne in
2018, $120/tonne in 2019 and $110/tonne longer term. Fitch's
assumptions would translate to roughly C$1.6 billion in additional
EBITDA in 2017, using Teck's sensitivities, all else equal.

Fitch expects 2017 operating EBITDA of at least C$4.8 billion
dropping to at least C$4 billion per year in 2018 and 2019.

BALANCE SHEET REPAIR

Fitch views positively management initiative to lower debt and
extend debt maturities. Teck issued $1.25 billion guaranteed notes
due 2021 and 2024 and used proceeds to call senior unsecured notes
with near-term maturities in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25
billion in the second quarter of 2016. Teck repurchased $759
million in principal amount of long dated debt at an average cost
of about 91 cents on the dollar through early October 2016.
Management is tendering for $1 billion in near maturity notes
(tender expires March 20, 2017). The company targets debt to EBITDA
of 2.5x on average.

END OF FORT HILL SPENDS

The Fort Hills oil sands project was over 76% complete as of Feb.
8, 2017, with first oil expected near the end of 2017. Remaining
spending is estimated at C$805 million of which C$640 million is
expected to be spent in 2017. Other capital projects, including
Quebrada Blanca Phase 2, were substantially slowed during the slump
in commodity prices. Fitch believes project spending and perhaps
maintenance catch-up spending will be a priority for capital in
2017 and beyond.

COPPER MINE LIVES

The Highland Valley mine life is currently about 10 years and is
expected to have lower production than normal through 2019.
Antamina has a current mine life of about 12 years. Existing mining
at Quebrada Blanca (76.5% owned) is expected to cease in early 2018
(leaching through mid-2019). Teck is engaged in permitting the
Quebrada Blanca Phase 2 project. The project is expected to have an
initial 25 year mine life and capital costs of $4.7 billion on a
100% basis exclusive of working capital and interest with earliest
go-forward decision in mid-2018.

SHAREHOLDER FOCUS EXPECTED

Keevil Holding Corporation, controlled by Teck's Chairman,
beneficially owns shares representing about 14.6% of Teck voting
interests. In addition, Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. Ltd., Caisse de
depot et placement du Quebec, and China Investment Corporation
directly or indirectly own shares representing about 23.8%, 11.1%,
and 6.7%, respectively, of Teck voting interests. Teck did raise
equity in the depths of the global financial crisis but declined to
do so during the commodity slump.

Fitch expects FCF of at least C$700 million in 2017 increasing to
at least C$1 billion on average in each of 2018 and 2019 absent
significant development spending outside of Fort Hills. Fitch
believes dividend increases, following cuts in 2015, or share
repurchases could be a priority in 2017. Management's capital
allocation plans is a key driver for Fitch to resolve the Positive
Outlook.

OPERATING PROFILE

Teck benefits from long-lived coal and oil sands reserves, a
leading low-cost position in zinc, a leading position in the
seaborne hard metallurgical coal market, and a solid core position
in copper.

Globally, Teck is the second-largest seaborne hard coking coal
producer after BHP-Mitsubishi Alliance and is at about the
mid-point of the cost curve (FOB port). Teck is in the top 15
largest copper producers, globally, with about average costs and
the third-largest zinc producer, in the lowest quartile on costs.

Coal accounted for 52%, zinc accounted for 26% and copper accounted
for 22% of segment operating EBITDA in 2016. Production from Canada
accounted for about 66% of 2016 gross profit before depreciation by
region and the company also has operations in the U.S. (20%), Peru

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Fitch's key assumptions within the rating case for Teck Resources
Limited include:

-- Production at guidance with Fort Hills production commencing
    in 2018;
-- Fitch's commodity price assumptions: WTI oil prices at
    $52.50/barrel in 2018 and $57.50/barrel in 2019; hard coking
    coal prices at $165/tonne in 2017, $135/tonne in 2018, and
    $120/tonne in 2019; copper prices at $5,500/tonne in 2017,
    $6,000/tonne in 2018, and $6,200/tonne in 2019; and zinc
    prices at $2,400/tonne in 2017, $2,800/tonne in 2018 and
    $3,000/tonne in 2019;
-- Quebrada Blanca 2 spending at minimal levels through 2019;
-- Capital Expenditures at guidance for 2017 and averaging at
    depreciation levels in 2018 and 2019;
-- Dividends increased gradually to prior levels;
-- Successful tender for $1 billion in notes, other debt
    repayment at maturity.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Positive: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to positive rating actions include:

-- FFO adjusted leverage expected to be sustained below 3x
    assuming mid-cycle commodity prices; and

-- Commitment to fund project development and/or acquisitions in
    a balanced fashion to minimize potential reduction in
    liquidity.

Negative: Future developments that may, individually or
collectively, lead to negative rating actions include:

-- Expectations of reduced economics of the Fort Hills project;
-- Prolonged periods of negative FCF that are not supported by
    asset sales or equity raises, and/or
-- Expectations that FFO adjusted leverage would be sustained
    above 3.5x for an extended period.

LIQUIDITY

AMPLE FOR CURRENT OPERATIONS

As of Dec. 31, 2016 Teck had C$1.4 billion of cash on hand, full
availability under the $3 billion revolving credit facility
expiring in July 2020, and $219 million available under the $1.2
billion credit facility, of which, $60 million expires in June 2017
and $1.14 billion expires in June 2019. Fitch estimates minimum
required cash to operate at C$400 million. Given that the $1
billion tender is completed, Fitch expects cash balances to build
in advance of spending on Quebrada Blanca Phase 2.

MODEST NEAR TERM MATURITIES

The company has tendered for up to $1 billion in senior notes
including the $278 million 3% notes due in 2019. Fitch estimates
remaining annual maturities of debt over the next five years to be
$16 million in 2017, $22 million in 2018, $84 million in 2019, $0
in 2020 and $355 million in 2021.

FULL LIST OF RATING ACTIONS

Fitch has upgraded the following ratings:

Teck Resources Ltd.

    and

-- Senior unsecured notes to 'BB/RR4' from 'B-/RR6'.

The Rating Outlook has been revised to Positive from Negative.


TENKORIS LLC: Unsecureds to Get Full-Payment, Plus 3% in 36 Months
------------------------------------------------------------------
Tenkoris, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona a disclosure statement dated March 1, 2017,
referring to the Debtor's plan of reorganization.

The Debtor proposes to pay Class 6 Unsecured Claims -- totaling
$70,100.22 -- in full, with interest at 3% per annum, in 36 monthly
payments of $2,038.60, distributed on a pro rata basis, starting on
the 15th day of the month following the Effective Date of the
Plan.

The proposed plan is contingent upon consummation of the sale of
all of the Debtor's assets to Storddard Capital, LLC.  The motion
for approval of the sale is currently before the Court.  Stoddard
Capital will enter into a purchase agreement with the Debtor to buy
all of its assets for $210,000.

                       About Tenkoris LLC

Tenkoris, LLC, sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code (Bankr. D. Ariz. Case No. 16-07290) on June 27, 2016.  The
petition was signed by Ken Olcher, managing member.  

The Debtor tapped Davis Miles McGuire Gardner, PLLC, as its legal
counsel, and Phillip Fitzekam as its accountant.

At the time of the filing, the Debtor disclosed $305,855 in assets
and $1.02 million in liabilities.


TERRACE COMMUNITY: S&P Lowers Rating on 2007A/B Bonds to 'BB'
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its rating on Hillsborough County
Industrial Development Authority, Fla.'s series 2007A and 2007B
tax-exempt and taxable revenue bonds, issued for Terrace Community
Middle School (TCMS), to 'BB' from 'BB+'.  The outlook is stable.

"We lowered the rating based on our view of the school's weakened
liquidity position from levels already thin in comparison to
peers," said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Melissa Brown.

"We assessed TCMS' enterprise profile as strong characterized by
solid demand with a robust waiting list, excellent academics, and a
stable management team.  We assessed TCMS' financial profile as
vulnerable with a small operating base, low levels of unrestricted
cash, modest debt burden, and limited operating flexibility.  We
believe that combined, these credit factors lead to an indicative
standalone credit profile of 'bb+'.  As our criteria indicate, the
final rating can be adjusted (capped) below the indicative credit
level due to a variety of overriding factors," S&P said.

"In our opinion, the 'BB' rating on the charter school's bonds
better reflects the risks associated with TCMS' very low
unrestricted reserves," Ms. Brown added.


TEXAS STUDENT: S&P Affirms 'B' Rating on 2001A Housing Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B' long-term rating on Texas
Student Housing Corp.'s (TSHC) series 2001A housing revenue bonds.
These bonds were issued on behalf of University of North Texas
(UNT) Denton student housing project.  The rating was removed from
CreditWatch, where it was placed with negative implications on Dec.
7, 2016.  S&P resolved the CreditWatch action after receiving the
required information from the housing project.  The outlook is
stable.

"The negative CreditWatch was removed based on improved operations,
decreased rental discounting, and improved debt service coverage at
the housing project in fiscal years 2014, 2015, and 2016, after
weak cash flows, high discounting, and poor coverage results from
fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2013," said S&P Global Ratings credit
analyst Phillip Pena."  The rating reflects S&P's view of the
project's continued weak and speculative business fundamentals."

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that, during the next
year, TSHC will maintain high occupancy, will use discount rates
similar to the fiscal 2016, and will continue to make timely
senior-lien debt service payments.

Should the bondholders accelerate the debt for any reason,
including inadequate coverage levels or an underfunded DSRF, S&P
could consider a negative rating action within the one-year outlook
period.  S&P could also consider a negative rating action should
occupancy rates deteriorate to the point that they pressure
operations and coverage, or should deferred maintenance costs
substantially eat into net revenues available for debt service.

Given that the 2001A bonds have been in technical default since
fiscal 2002, and given that the 2001B subordinated bonds (Not rated
by S&P Global) are in default, S&P do not expect a positive rating
action within the one-year outlook period.

TRES AMICI: Dismissal of Restaurant Owners' Suit vs. Topaz Affirmed
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the case captioned ANTHONY MODICA, ET AL., Appellants, v. TOPAZ
ENTERPRISES, INC., Respondent, 2014-11904, Index No. 700720/14
(N.Y. App. Div.), the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of
New York, Second Department, affirmed the order of the Supreme
Court, Queens County, entered October 22, 2014, insofar as it
granted the defendant's motion pursuant to CPLR 3211(a) to dismiss
the complaint.

The plaintiff 106-09 Rockaway Owners Corp. owned real property
located at 106-09 Rockaway Boulevard in Queens until a mortgage and
note on the property was foreclosed on by Eastern Savings Bank,
FSB, which was also the successful bidder at the foreclosure sale.
Eastern assigned its winning bid to the defendant, Topaz
Enterprises, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Eastern.  The
plaintiff brothers Anthony Modica and Gaetano Modica operated a
restaurant and catering facility at the subject property known as
Tres Amici, doing business as La Bella Vita, while the property was
owned by 106-09.  The plaintiff brothers were the owners of 106-09.


The plaintiffs commenced an action to enforce their right to
purchase the subject property from Topaz under a stipulation of
settlement that Tres Amici and Topaz entered into in the course of
a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding commenced by Tres Amici in May
2013, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of New York.  Topaz moved to dismiss the complaint
pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(1), (3), (7), and (8).  In the order
appealed from, the Supreme Court granted that branch of the motion
which was pursuant to CPLR 3211(a)(1), and the plaintiffs appealed.


The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York affirmed,
albeit on grounds different from those relied upon by the Supreme
Court.

One of the plaintiffs' obligations under the stipulation of
settlement was that they would cease all litigation they had
commenced against Eastern or Topaz regarding the subject property.
In exchange, Topaz agreed, inter alia, to allow the plaintiffs to
purchase the subject property for a stated sum by a certain date.
Nonetheless, a month after entering into the settlement, the
plaintiffs had still failed to cease any of the various actions
they had commenced against Eastern and Topaz, and had even
commenced new litigation against those entities.

The Appellate Division held that, while the Supreme Court properly
granted Topaz's motion to dismiss the complaint, it should not have
been, as stated in the order appealed from, on the ground that the
parties did not have a valid agreement.  The Appellate Division
found that the plaintiffs' breach of the settlement agreement
divested them of any right to enforce any of Topaz's obligations
under the agreement, and relieved Topaz of any obligation to
perform.

UNCAS LLC: Unsecureds to Get $3,000 Under Connect's Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Secured creditor Connect REO, LLC, has filed an amended disclosure
statement dated March 1, 2017, referring to the Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization for Uncas, LLC.

Under the Plan, holders of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims will
each receive any remaining net sales proceeds available after
payment to all administration claims, priority claims, and secured
claims, including any deficiency owed to secured claims.  In the
event Connect REO takes title to the Debtor's property via an
auction, Connect REO will pay a total of $3,000 to be paid towards
this class who will share pro rata.  This class is impaired by the
Plan.

The Debtor's primary asset consists of real property located at 2A
Owenoke Park, Westport, Connecticut, which is a vacant piece of raw
land.

Payment from any net sales proceeds remaining after payment of
administration claims, Class 1-5 Claims.  Class 6 Equity Interests
will be extinguished after all distributions required by the Plan
have been made.  This class is impaired.

Payments under the Plan for Classes 1-7 will be paid as set forth
in the Plan.  The transfer of the Debtor's property under the Plan
will be free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, with
any liens, claims and encumbrances to attach to the sale proceeds,
and to be disbursed under the Plan, provided, however, that any
mortgagee will have the right, but not the obligation, to provide
for an assignment of its mortgage and an assumption by the
purchaser in connection with the sale of the property under the
Plan.  Secured creditors will retain all its deficiency and other
rights under the loan documents.

VALEANT PHARMACEUTICALS: S&P Rates New $2.5BB Secured Notes 'BB-'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating to
Canada-based Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc.'s proposed
$2.5 billion senior secured notes, which will be issued in two
tranches maturing 2022 and 2024.  The recovery rating on this debt
is '1', indicating S&P's expectations for very high (90%-100%;
rounded estimate: 95%) recovery in the event of default.  The
company plans to use the proceeds to repay earlier maturing debt,
in a leverage-neutral transaction.

S&P's 'B' corporate credit rating reflects its assessment of the
company's high debt leverage of about 8x for 2017, and substantial
free cash flow generation (helped by a low tax rate).  It also
takes into account S&P's assessment of business risk, which is
characterized by the company's substantial scale and extensive
product, therapeutic, payer, and geographic diversification.  This
is partially offset by the relatively low level of investment in
research and development, and elevated operational risks associated
with managing a large portfolio of small products. Given the
multitude of remaining legal, regulatory, and reputational issues
that Valeant faces, our assessment of management and governance as
weak is unchanged, reflecting the lingering fallout of aggressive
business practices under the prior management team in recent
years.

S&P's stable rating outlook reflects its expectation for Valeant's
debt leverage to remain above 5x, while continuing to generate
substantial free cash flow (helped by a low tax rate).  The 'B'
rating hinges on the company's ability to demonstrate a sustainable
trajectory of positive growth in profitability (excluding the
impact of the significant patent expirations in late 2016 and 2017)
despite various headwinds.

VERITY HEALTH: S&P Affirms 'CCC' Rating on $273MM 2005 Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook to positive from stable and
affirmed its 'CCC' rating on California Statewide Communities
Development Authority's $273 million series 2005A, 2005F, 2005G,
and 2005H fixed-rate bonds issued for Verity Health System (Verity;
formerly known as the Daughters of Charity Health System).

"The positive outlook revision reflects improved, although still
weak, operating performance driven by growing revenue and volume,"
said S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Cynthia Keller.  "The
positive outlook also reflects an increasing balance sheet cushion
derived from financial support provided and arranged by Blue
Mountain Capital Management."  Verity has an entirely new
management team, which has been able to increasingly focus on
strategic initiatives while at the same time concentrating on
multiple operational initiatives necessary to improve financial
performance, which S&P views positively.

"The 'CCC' rating reflects our opinion that ongoing ability to
repay debt service is dependent on favorable business, financial,
and economic conditions, although we also consider bankruptcy risk
more remote than at the last rating," added Ms. Keller.  Verity
still operates with substantial losses, extremely thin reserves,
and strained metrics, which will be challenged as management makes
capital investments into the facilities, which are required by the
Attorney General and which are necessary to attract and retain
physicians.

Continued balance sheet growth, coupled with operational
improvement could support a higher rating during the one year
covered by S&P's outlook period.

A higher rating could be possible with a consistent trend of lower
operating losses excluding one-time transactions that generate at
least 1x coverage and balance sheet improvement.  A higher rating
is also predicated on maintaining a stable enterprise profile and
demonstrating that management's strategies are translating into
improved financial performance.

A revision to a stable outlook or lower rating level could be
possible with any deterioration in financial performance or balance
sheet reserves, which could make Verity highly vulnerable to
nonpayment or bankruptcy.



VERTEX ENERGY: Reports Fourth Quarter Net Loss of $2.4 Million
--------------------------------------------------------------
Vertex Energy, Inc., announced its financial results for the fourth
quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2016.

For the three months ended Dec. 31, 2016, Vertex reported a net
loss attributable to the Company of $2.39 million on $31.05 million
of revenues compared to a net loss attributable to the Company of
$3.03 million on $20.87 million of revenues for the same period a
year ago.

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, the Company recognized a net loss
attributable to the Company of $3.95 million on $98.07 million of
revenues compared to a net loss attributable to the Company of
$22.51 million on $146.94 million of revenues for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2015.

As of Dec. 31, 2016, Vertex had $86.98 million in total assets,
$28.66 million in total liabilities, $3.33 million in series B
preferred stock, $13.75 million in series B-1 preferred stock, and
$41.23 million in total equity.

Benjamin P. Cowart, chairman and CEO of Vertex Energy, Inc.,
commented, "During 2016, we took steps to stabilize our business
and create a business model with the ability to manage spreads in
any crude oil environment.  Some of those steps included selling
our Nevada facility, using some of the cash proceeds to reduce
debt, and leading the initiative in charging for oil -- a positive
for the company and industry.  With the improvements made at our
facilities during 2016, we anticipate increased volume through our
facilities during 2017."

Mr. Cowart added: "On February 1st of this year, we took another
major step to clean up our balance sheet through our entry into a
$30 million Senior Secured debt funding agreement with Encina
Business Credit, LLC (EBC).  With this funding, we were able to
complete the acquisition of a strategic collection company in
Louisiana.  We remain committed to increasing our collection
operations and working on our finished products strategy.  We
embrace 2017 with unwavering dedication and confidence in the
company's future."

ZOHAR CDO 2003: Lynn Tilton Asks Court to Toss Racketeering Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Tom Corrigan, writing for The Wall Street Journal Pro Bankruptcy,
reported that financier Lynn Tilton says the new managers of her
Zohar investment funds are targeting her in a multifront legal
campaign in an effort to take control of the funds' underlying
portfolio of distressed companies.

According to the report, in papers filed on March 6 in federal
court in New York, lawyers for Ms. Tilton asked a judge to throw
out a $1 billion lawsuit launched earlier this year by the funds
and their new manager, the restructuring firm Alvarez & Marsal.

Ms. Tilton's lawyers say the suit is "legally and factually
baseless" and that the incendiary allegations and subsequent media
attention have hurt the companies, the report related.

"This suit -- which was filed for no other purpose than to harass
and publicly defame Lynn Tilton -- has absolutely no basis in fact
or law and should be dismissed with prejudice," a spokesman for Ms.
Tilton said in a statement on March 7, the report further related.

Michael Carlinsky, Esq., a lawyer for Alvarez & Marsal and the
Zohar funds, defended the lawsuit as "a straightforward request for
the truth," the report said.

"Ms. Tilton's conspiracy theories are silly, and are an obvious
attempt at diverting attention from her misconduct," Mr. Carlinsky
said, according to the Journal.

A hearing on Ms. Tilton's motion to dismiss the lawsuit is
scheduled for April 4, the Journal noted.

                   About Zohar CDO 2003-1

bankruptcy
petitions against Zohar CDO 2003-1, Corp., Zohar CDO 2003-1,
Limited and Zohar CDO 2003-1, LLC (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case Nos.
15-23681 to 15-23682) on Nov. 22, 2015.

Patriarch Partners disclosed that it has filed, through one of its
affiliates, an involuntary Chapter 11 petition for Zohar CDO
2003-1, Limited.  Patriarch is Zohar I's largest creditor, holding
$286.5 million face amount of Zohar I notes.  Patriarch has placed
Zohar I into Chapter 11 in order to protect Zohar I and Patriarch
from the efforts of MBIA Inc. and MBIA Insurance Corporation,
another creditor of Zohar I, to obtain Zohar I's assets for
itself.

Patriarch claimed it has been forced to pursue this route because
of MBIA's fraudulent scheme to induce Patriarch XV to spend over
$103 million to buy out a third-party noteholder in Zohar-I to
facilitate a restructuring of Zohar-I.

Lynn Tilton is CEO of Patriarch.

Patriarch's restructuring counsel is Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher
& Flom LLP and its financial advisor is Moelis & Co.

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 $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.

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.

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.

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.

The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week
then-ending.

TCR subscribers have free access to our on-line news archive.
