                     About Acer Therapeutics

Acer, headquartered in Newton, MA, is a pharmaceutical company
focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of
therapies for patients with serious rare and ultra-rare diseases
with critical unmet medical need.  Acer's late-stage clinical
pipeline includes two candidates for severe genetic disorders for
which there are few or no FDA-approved treatments: EDSIVO
(celiprolol) for vEDS, and ACER-001 (a fully taste-masked,
immediate release formulation of sodium phenylbutyrate) for urea
cycle disorders (UCD) and Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD).  There
are no FDA-approved drugs for vEDS and MSUD and limited options for
UCD, which collectively impact more than 4,000 patients in the
United States.  Acer's product candidates have clinical
proof-of-concept and mechanistic differentiation, and Acer intends
to seek approval for them in the U.S. by using the regulatory
pathway established under section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FFDCA, that allows an applicant to rely
for approval at least in part on third-party data, which is
expected to expedite the preparation, submission, and potential
approval of a marketing application.  For more information, visit
www.acertx.com.

On Sept. 19, 2017, Acer Therapeutics Inc. completed the merger with
Opexa Therapeutics, Inc., under which the stockholders of Acer
(including investors in a financing that closed concurrently with
the merger) become holders of 88.8% of combined company's
outstanding common stock, with Opexa shareholders retaining 11.2%.

Opexa incurred a net loss of $7.98 million for the year ended Dec.
31, 2016, compared to a net loss of $12.01 million for the year
ended Dec. 31, 2015.  As of Sept. 30, 2017, the Company had $17.01
million in total assets, $2.25 million in total liabilities and
$14.76 million in total stockholders' equity.

Malonebailey, LLP -- http://www.malonebailey.com/-- in Houston,
Texas, issued a "going concern" qualification on the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, citing that
the Company has incurred recurring losses, negative operating cash
flows and an accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern.

Acer Therapeutics said in its quarterly report for the period ended
Sept. 30, 2017, that the Company has experienced recurring losses
since inception.

"The Company plans to raise capital through equity and/or debt
financings.  There is no assurance, however, that the Company will
be able to raise sufficient capital to fund its operations on terms
that are acceptable, or that its operations will ever be
profitable.
  
"There is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern within one year after the date that the
accompanying financial statements are available to be issued and
these financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that might be
necessary as a result of the above uncertainty.  Based on available
resources, the Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents
currently on hand are sufficient to fund its anticipated operating
and capital requirements through the first half of 2018."


AGAWAM HUNT: NEW AH & NC Buying All Assets for $6 Million
---------------------------------------------------------
Agawam Hunt, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Rhode Island to authorize the bidding procedures in connection
with sale of substantially all of the assets s to New Agawam, LLC
("New AH") and The Nature Conservancy ("NC") for $2 million in cash
and up to $4 million credit bid, subject to overbid.

Since approximately 1897 until the Petition Date, the Debtor had
owned and operated a private country club on approximately 132
acres of property in East Providence, Rhode Island.  It is owned by
its members, which currently number approximately 280.  On the
Petition Date, the Debtor employed approximately 45 employees.  Its
Assets include, inter alia, the East Providence real estate
("Property"), machinery and equipment used at the country club to
operate and maintain the grounds, racquet facility, golf course,
dining facility, office equipment, including hardware and software,
cash, inventory, accounts receivable, general intangibles,
intellectual property, executory contracts, licenses and permits
and A/R.

At the time of filing of the Chapter 11, the Debtor's primary
secured lender was Bank Rhode Island ("BRI"), which was owed
approximately $3.5 million pursuant to two loans made to the Debtor
according to its Proof of Claim filed.  The BRI Loans were secured
by, inter alia, a first mortgage on the Property and a first lien
on substantially all of Debtor's personal property.

At the time of filing of the Chapter 11, the Town of East
Providence ("EP") was owed approximately $450,000 pursuant to its
proof of claim filed for taxes and municipal charges and held a
lien on the Property to secure said obligations.

Both pre-and post-petition, the Debtor pursued refinancing
opportunities and actively marketed its Assets for sale to third
parties.  Post-petition, it signed confidentiality agreements with,
provided due diligence materials to and conferred with over 15
interested parties.  Despite its best efforts, no offers were
received which were sufficient to pay the BRI Loans and the EP
Claim.  Several interested parties thereafter independently
approached BRI to negotiate a purchase of the BRI Loans.

New AH, a Rhode Island LLC made up substantially of members of the
Debtor, eventually purchased the BRI loans from BRI on May 12,
2017.  New AH has also recently purchased the EP Claims and now
hold a first position secured claim totaling approximately $4
million.  

The Debtor continued to negotiate with interested parties to obtain
an offer for its Assets in its attempt to formulate a plan to pay
its creditors.  As a result of these efforts, the Debtor has
negotiated and entered into the APA with the Joint Buyers, the New
AH and NC.

The Buyers propose to acquire substantially all of the Assets of
the Debtor for a purchase price consisting of $2 million in cash
and up to $4 million to be credit bid by New AH, on the terms and
conditions as are more fully set forth in the APA.  In addition,
and most importantly to the Estate, New AH has agreed to carve out
of the net sale proceeds, which they would otherwise be entitled to
receive as the first position secured creditor in the Assets, an
amount sufficient to fund a plan which will enable the Debtor to
pay administrative claims, priority claims, professional fee
claims, cure amounts to executory contract claimants (where said
contacts are being assumed and assigned to the Buyers) payments to
the U.S. Trustee and a 5% distribution to unsecured creditors, as
will be more fully set forth in the APA.

Contemporaneously with the Motion, the Debtor is filing its Sale
Procedures Motion, seeking approval of an order authorizing and
approving the Auction Procedures; the Debtor's execution of the
APA; the Sale Notice and related relief.

The salient terms of the APA are:

     a. Seller: The Debtor

     b. Buyers: New Agawam, LLC and The Nature Conservancy

     c. Price: $2 million in cash and New AH's credit bid of up to
$4 million

     d. Purchased Assets: Substantially all of the Assets of the
Debtor

     e. Carve Out: An amount sufficient to pay those claims and
obligations of the Debtor, approved by the Court, as are more fully
set forth in the APA.

     f. Adjustments: Closing adjustments

     g. Closing: Not later than 10 days after entry of the Sale
Approval Order or other date pursuant to Court Order

     h. Reps and Warranties: No Representations and warranties are
being made regarding the Assets, they are being sold "as is, where
is" without warranty of any kind or nature

     i. Court Approval: The Sale is subject to the Court's approval
and competitive bidding, pursuant to the Auction Procedures.

     j. Termination: Usual and customary, including without
limitation, material adverse change; upon material breach of
covenants, representations, or warranties; failure of conditions
precedent; material destruction of assets

     k. Deposit: $200,000

The Debtor believes the fair market value of the Assets being sold
are:
     
     a. Property: $2.7 Million

     b. Machinery and equipment: $100,000

     c. Inventory: N/A

     d. Intellectual Property Unknown

     e. Cash and collectable accounts receivable: $150,000

On information and belief, the scheduled values are based on real
estate and personal property appraisals that are over a year old
and the Debtor's business judgment of the value of its Assets.

The Bidding Procedures are a material inducement to and condition
of the willingness of New AH and NC to enter into the Stalking
Horse Agreement and will serve as a minimum base bid which the
Debtor and its creditors can rely upon.

The salient terms of the Bidding Procedures are:

     a. Minimum Auction Bid: At least equal to the sum of the full
purchase price offered in the APA (calculated to include the total
combined amount of the credit bid and cash component)

     b. Deposit: $200,000

     c. Bid Deadline: Dec. 26, 2017

     d. Auction: The Auction shall take place at 10:00 a.m. Eastern
Time on Dec. __, 2017, before the Court.

     e. Bid Increments: $25,000

     f. Credit Bidding: In conjunction with the cash portion of the
bid of $2 million, New AH, will be entitled to credit bid at the
Auction the amount of its secured claim, an amount up to
approximately $4 million.

     g. Objection Deadline: Dec. 27, 2017 at 12:00 p.m.

     h. "As Is; Where Is": The sale of the Assets shall be on an
"as is, where is" basis and without any representations or
warranties of any kind, nature, or description by the Debtor, its
counsel, its agents, or Estate, except as provided in the Stalking
Horse APA.

     i. Sale Hearing: Dec. (TBD), 2017 at 10:00 a.m.

A copy of the Bidding Procedures attached to the Motion is
available for free at:

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/Agawam_Hunt_146_Sales.pdf

The Debtor will continue to market the Assets to any potential
bidders up until the time of the Auction.

The Assets will be sold to the Buyer or the Successful Bidder free
and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances (other than liens
resulting from assumed liabilities and permitted encumbrances),
with such liens, claims and encumbrances, if any, to attach to the
net proceeds of the Sale, subject to the Carve Out.

The proposed auction procedures are detailed in the Procedures
Motion filed contemporaneously with the Motion.

As a part of the Motion, the Debtor asks authority from the Court
to assume and assign certain Assigned Contracts to the Successful
Bidder.  It asks that with respect to any Assigned Contracts, by
Dec. 18, 2017 or as soon as thereafter as practicable, the Debtor
will file with the Court and serve on each party to an Assigned
Contract a notice.  The Debtor asks that objections, if any, to the
proposed assumption and assignment of Cure Amounts must be filed on
Dec. 26, 2017 by 12:00 p.m. (ET).

The Debtor asserts that the Sale is in the best interest of the
Estate and all stakeholders because it maximizes the value the
Debtor and its creditors will receive for the Assets.  Emergency
Determination of the Motion is requested because of the Debtor's
seasonal reduced cash flow and the need for the infusion of
additional capital after the 1st of the year to continue
operations, the Debtor and the proposed Buyers under the APA ask
the auction Sale occur occur before the end of 2017.

Agawam Hunt, LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (Bankr.
D.R.I. Case No. 17-10056) on Jan. 13, 2017.  Peter J. Furness,
Esq., at Richardson, Harrington & Furness, serves as the Debtor's
bankruptcy counsel.


ALLIED CONSOLIDATED: Trustee Proposes Auction of Shoring Towers
---------------------------------------------------------------
John Lane, Trustee for Allied Consolidated Industries, Inc. and its
affiliates, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Ohio to authorize the sale of property known as the
shoring towers by online auction.

The estates of each of the Debtors were substantively consolidated
into the estate of Allied.  Certain property was transferred to the
creditor trust on the effective date and included within such
property were the Shoring Towers.  Pursuant to Section 8.3(d) and
Section 8.5 of the Allied's Plan and Section 6.1(d) and Section 6.3
of the Creditor Trust Agreement, the Trustee has determined that a
sale of the Shoring Towers is appropriate in the exercise of his
reasonable business judgment and in order to comply with the
provisions of the Plan and the Creditor Trust Agreement.

The Trustee has employed Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers to conduct a
live auction with a reserve of $275,000 plus commission to begin on
Jan. 4, 2018 at 8:00 a.m. online at Ritchie Bros. website or its
subsidiary, Ironplanet.com, and every two weeks thereafter for
three consecutive auctions or until such property is sold and, if
not sold, to be scrapped and sold as scrap metal.

The Trustee believes that the sale is a material transaction as
such transaction is defined in the Plan and the Creditor Trust
Agreement requiring Court approval of the proposed disposition.

The proceeds of the sale will be paid out pursuant to the terms of
the Confirmed Plan of Reorganization.

affiliates, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Ohio to authorize the sale of real property known as
Youngstown Industrial Property, containing an approximate 5.5 acre
piece of raw land with no improvement situated north of Poland
Avenue and south of the Youngstown & Southern Rail line -- and
immediately adjacent to the west of the scrap yard -- by private
sale to Brown Beaver Land Co., LLC or its nominee for $192,500.

The estates of each of the Debtors were substantively consolidated
into the estate of Allied.  Certain property was transferred to the

property was the Youngstown Industrial Property.  Pursuant to
Section 8.3(d) and Section 8.5 of the Plan of Allied and Section
6.1(d) and Section 6.3 of the Creditor Trust Agreement, the Trustee
has determined that a sale of the assets described as Youngstown

diligence for a period of 120 days following the effective date of

absolute discretion, to terminate the agreement.

ANTELOPE VALLEY: Moody's Alters Outlook to Stable & Affirms Ba3 CFR
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Services has revised Antelope Valley Healthcare
District's outlook to stable from negative and affirmed the Ba3
rating. The affirmation affects approximately $124 million of
debt.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Affirmation of the Ba3 rating reflects Antelope Valley Healthcare
District 's (AVHD) strong market position as a provider of unique
and higher acuity services in a market with challenging
demographics and high reliance on supplemental funding to maintain
sufficient cash flow. The Ba3 further incorporates AVHD's high
leverage, large unfunded pension liability, and continuing capital
requirements to address a variety of needs including strategic
growth and California seismic regulations.

RATING OUTLOOK

Revision in the outlook to stable from negative is driven by a
change in the governance structure that will expand the number of
board members, and in Moody's view, increase stability of the board
and reduce the likelihood of future abrupt changes in management or
strategic direction that AVHD has experienced in recent years. The
stable outlook is further supported by Moody's view that stronger
cash flow achieved in fiscal 2017 will continue into 2018.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE

- Stability of management and evidence of fruitful working
relationship between management, the board, and medical staff

- Durability of operating cash flow margins at levels achieved in
fiscal 2017

- Reduction in reliance on supplemental funding as a share of
operating cash flow

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE

- Return to poor governance practices

- Material reduction in supplemental funding absent core
operational improvement

- Additional debt absent cash flow growth

LEGAL SECURITY

The bonds are secured by a revenue pledge. Key financial covenants
include minimum days cash on hand of 55 days and annual debt
service coverage of 1.2x.

PROFILE

AVHD operates 420 licensed bed Antelope Valley Hospital, an acute
care hospital located in Lancaster, CA. AVHD is a political
subdivision of the State of California. Voters of the district
approved a change to the board that will increase the board by four
people. The new board will be comprised of nine people: five
publicly elected members, three people appointed by the elected
board members, and the CEO of the hospital.

METHODOLOGY

The principal methodology used in this rating was Not-For-Profit
Healthcare published in November 2017.

BARTLETT MANAGEMENT: Seeks OK to Access $300K Financing, Cash Use
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bartlett Management Services, Inc., Bartlett Management
Indianapolis, Inc., and Bartlett Management Peoria, Inc., seek
authority from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District
of Illinois to obtain postpetition financing from Stephen M.
Nesbitt, secured by a junior lien on certain of the Debtors' real
property and to use the cash collateral of their prepetition
secured lender, Heartland Bank & Trust Co.

Prior to the commencement of these Cases, the Debtors has sought
loans from Heartland Bank and Mr. Nesbitt, secured by senior liens
on the Debtors' real property, (among other things) and
super-priority administrative claims. After several weeks of
careful consideration, Heartland Bank declined to provide such
financing.

Mr. Nesbitt is willing to lend the Debtors $300,000 for these
purposes:

      (a) posting of approximately $102,000 to provide the Debtors'
numerous utility companies adequate assurance of payment and to
assure the Debtors' credit card processor (Bank of America Merchant
Services with assurance that it will receive payment of its monthly
fees without the need for it to place an administrative freeze on
the funds it collects on a daily basis;

      (b) a total of $50,000 for post-petition retainers for the
Debtors' counsel and Mr. Nerger; and

      (c) the balance for liquidity to make payments during the
periods of time that, as reflected in the Budget, since the Debtor
will need funds in excess of their cash on hand to pay the
prepetition claims of their critical vendors as well as their
post-petition administrative expenses.

In addition, Mr. Nesbitt would be required to post up a $120,000
Backstop Letter of Credit to ensure the Debtors' ability to pay
their U.S. Trustee Fees, as well as the allowed fees of the
Debtors’ and of any Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors'
professionals that may be formed in this case.

Under the terms of the Post-petition Financing, Mr. Nesbitt would
receive interest on the amounts funded (or drawn on the Backstop
LOC) at the rate of 6% per annum, and a facility fee of 1% for the
undrawn amount of the LOC starting with the posting thereof.

Although the possibility exists that the Debtors might be able to
defer the need for a portion of the proposed post-petition loan --
depending on the outcome of certain other motions that the Debtors
will be filing seeking to reject certain leases and delay their
performance under others -- the Debtors need the entire proposed
post-petition loan (with the exception of the Backstop LOC) on an
emergency basis because: (a) the outcome of those motions is
uncertain, (b) in any event, at least approximately $150,000 of the
$300,000 will be needed immediately to fund the deposit accounts
and the proposed post-petition professional retainers, and to
ensure that the Debtors may make their first post-petition payroll
on or about December 11-12, 2017.

Moreover, the Debtors believe that immediate access to the full
proposed post-petition loan will provide comfort and confidence to
all parties in interest at this critical juncture.

The Debtors currently owe approximately $5,000,000 to Heartland
Bank under two term notes and an additional approximately $400,000
under a line of credit, which indebtedness are secured by
substantially all the Debtors' real and personal property, and the
Heartland Bank letter of credit is secured by substantially all of
the real and personal property of Bartlett Management Services,
Inc.

Under the Debtors' cash management arrangement with Heartland Bank,
the bank sweeps substantially all of the Debtor' cash within 24 to
48 hours of the Debtors' receipt of it. Accordingly, Heartland Bank
possesses a lien as of the Petition Date on (a) the Debtors' cash
and equivalents on hand as of the Petition Date, (b) the value of
the Debtors' inventory on the Petition Date, and (c) one-third of
the Debtors' sales revenues.

To protect Heartland Bank's interest in the Cash Collateral, the
Debtors propose granting Heartland Bank (a) a replacement lien on
their postpetition inventory, plus (b) a replacement lien on their
postpetition cash and receivables.

BATE LAND: 4th Cir. Reverses Dismissal of Plan Confirmation Appeal
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit, reverses the district
court's dismissal of Bate Land Company LLC's appeal of the
bankruptcy court's confirmed reorganization plan for Bate Land &
Timber LP and affirms the judgment of the bankruptcy court in the
appeals case BATE LAND COMPANY LP, Creditor-Appellant, v. BATE LAND
& TIMBER LLC, Debtor-Appellee, No. 16-2037 (4th Cir.).

In 2006, BLC sold the Debtor 79 tracts of land in eastern North
Carolina for $65 million. Of this amount, the Debtor paid $9
million in cash and financed the remaining $56 million through a
purchase money promissory note secured through a purchase money
deed of trust encumbering the property.

In the years that followed, the Debtor paid BLC over $60 million.
However, the Debtor failed to repay its debt in full by the
maturation date. The parties negotiated new deadlines, but the
Debtor failed to meet the revised deadlines as well. The Debtor
attempted to convey two tracts of land back to BLC to satisfy its
debt, but BLC rejected this proffer. The bankruptcy court combined
the two tracts originally proffered with six additional tracts and
determined that all eight properties that the Debtor offered in
fulfillment of BLC's claim represented a total value of
approximately $13.7 million.

BLC's total secured claim was $14.6 million, and the eight tracts
of land offered to fulfill the claim had a value of $13.7 million.
The bankruptcy court concluded that conveyance of these eight
tracts of land, along with cash payments totaling approximately $1
million, served as the indubitable equivalent of BLC's claim. The
bankruptcy court issued its Confirmed Plan and an associated final
order on Feb. 3, 2016. The Confirmed Plan set conditions for the
Debtor's cash payments and noted that the $1 million in cash would
be fully secured by the Debtor's remaining tracts of land.

On appeal, BLC first argues that the district court erred in
finding that its appeal was equitably moot. On the merits, BLC
challenges the bankruptcy court's determination of the indubitable
equivalence of its claim and the bankruptcy court's equitable
tolling of post-petition interest.

Upon review, the Appeals Court concludes that BLC's appeal is not
equitably moot because the facts presented do not support the
conclusion that "effective judicial relief is no longer practically
available." BLC objects to the Confirmed Plan only to the extent
that it seeks to recover additional collateral from the Debtor, and
the parties have offered no reason for the Appeals Court to
conclude that this court would be unable to order the Debtor to
surrender additional cash or tracts of land to BLC. Nor is there
any reason for the Appeals Court to conclude that it would be
inequitable to do so. This is particularly true because the
Debtor's surrender of additional collateral to BLC would not alter
any other creditor's recovery.

Turning to the merits of the appeal in which BLC challenges the
bankruptcy court's determination of the indubitable equivalent of
its claim and the amount of post-petition interest awarded, the
Appeals Court holds that the bankruptcy court did not err in
calculating the indubitable equivalent of BLC's claim or in
calculating the amount of post-petition interest due to BLC.
Therefore, the district court's dismissal of the appeal is reversed
and the judgment of the bankruptcy court is affirmed.

BERRY GLOBAL: S&P Raises CCR to 'BB' on Low Debt, High EBITDA
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its corporate credit rating on Berry
Global Group Inc. to 'BB' from 'BB-'. The outlook is positive.

S&P said, "At the same time, we raised our issue-level rating on
the company's first-lien term loan to 'BBB-' from 'BB' and revised
the recovery rating to '1' from '2'. The '1' recovery rating
indicates our expectation for very high (90%-100%; rounded
estimate: 95%) recovery in a payment default scenario.

"Additionally, we raised our issue-level rating on Berry's
second-lien secured notes to 'BB-' from 'B+'. The '5' recovery
rating remains unchanged, indicating our expectation for modest
(10%-30%; rounded estimate: 10%) recovery in a payment default
scenario."

The upgrade reflects the continued growth of Berry's overall
business and its ongoing commitment to reduce its debt. As of the
end of fiscal-year 2017, Berry's adjusted EBITDA had increased by
13% from the year prior to $1.3 billion, primarily due to
contributions from the AEP acquisition and a higher-than-expected
level of operational synergies ($85 million versus initial guidance
of $50 million). Berry's operating segments also performed well as
the operating income of both its Health, Hygiene, and Specialties
(HH&S) and Engineered Materials (EM) segments increased during this
period. At the same time, the company's Consumer Packaging (CP)
segment remained resilient despite continued end-market softness.
These factors have enabled Berry to continue with its aggressive
debt reduction strategy. Since purchasing AEP with $500 million of
incremental debt in January 2017, Berry has paid down $603 million
of its first-lien term loans. This means that the company has more
than repaid the financing for its AEP acquisition in just eight
months.

S&P said, "The positive outlook on Berry reflects the one-in-three
chance that we will upgrade the company over the next 12 months.
This incorporates our expectation that growth in Berry's overall
business, along with management's continued debt reduction, will
improve its credit measures and bring them more closely in line
with those at its similarly rated peers. The company may continue
to undertake small bolt-on acquisitions as part of its growth
strategy, though our forecast does not contemplate any additional
large debt-funded transactions that would meaningfully weaken its
credit measures on a sustained basis.

"Although unlikely, we could lower our ratings on Berry if a severe
economic downturn led to sustained weakness in the company's sales
volumes and compressed its profit margins, causing its adjusted
debt-to-EBITDA to increase above 4x for a sustained period with no
foreseeable improvement. We estimate that this could occur if
Berry's sales volume declines by 400 basis points (bps) and its
operating margins contract by 150 bps from our base-case scenario.

"We could raise our ratings on Berry if better-than-expected sales
volume growth and margin expansion cause its adjusted
debt-to-EBITDA to improve to be closer in line with similarly rated
peers. We estimate that this could occur if Berry's sales volumes
increase by 200 bps while its operating margins rise by 150 bps
from our base-case scenario. In order to upgrade the company, we
would also need to believe that its financial policies would remain
consistent and be sustainable at the current rating."

BON-TON STORES: Ends Third Quarter With $7.3 Million in Cash
------------------------------------------------------------
The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its quarterly report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $44.87 million on $545.33 million of net sales for the 13 weeks
ended Oct. 28, 2017, compared to a net loss of $31.58 million on
$589.94 million of net sales for the 13 weeks ended Oct. 29, 2016.

For the 39 weeks ended Oct. 28, 2017, Bon-Ton Stores reported a net
loss of $135.40 million on $1.58 billion of net sales compared to a
net loss of $108.13 million on $1.72 billion of net sales for the
39 weeks ended Oct. 29, 2016.

As of Oct. 28, 2017, Bon-Ton Stores had $1.58 billion in total
assets, $1.74 billion in total liabilities and a total
shareholders' deficit of $155.96 million.

At Oct. 28, 2017, the Company had $7.3 million in cash and cash
equivalents and $161.5 million available under its Second Amended
Revolving Credit Facility (before taking into account the minimum
borrowing availability covenant under such facility, which was
$87.5 million at Oct. 28, 2017).  Excess availability was $302.7
million as of the comparable prior year period.  The reduced excess
availability primarily reflects the early payment of senior notes
due July 2017 and higher borrowings to fund seasonal operations.

Other income, which includes income from revenues received under
the Company's credit card program agreement, miscellaneous revenue
departments and gift and merchandise return card breakage, was
$17.1 million in the third quarter of 2017 as compared with $17.3
million in the third quarter of 2016.  The decrease was primarily
due to lower revenues associated with our proprietary credit card
operations.  Proprietary credit card sales, as a percentage of
total sales, increased 90 basis points to 57.9% in the third
quarter of 2017.

Gross margin in the third quarter of 2017 decreased $26.8 million
to $180.3 million as compared with $207.1 million in the comparable
prior year period, primarily due to the decreased sales volume in
the current period.  Gross margin as a percentage of net sales
decreased 204 basis points to 33.1% in the third quarter of 2017
from 35.1% in the comparable prior year period, primarily due to an
increase in the markdown rate driven by a shift in merchandise
mix.

SG&A expense in the third quarter of 2017 decreased $11.2 million
to $202.6 million as compared with $213.8 million in the third
quarter of 2016.  This reduction was largely due to savings
associated with prior year closed stores and reductions in medical
insurance, payroll, taxes and store occupancy costs.  The current
period expense rate, 37.2% of net sales, increased 91 basis points
from that of the prior year period as a result of decreased sales
volume.

Depreciation and amortization expense and amortization of
lease-related interests decreased $2.5 million to $20.8 million in
the third quarter of 2017 from $23.3 million in the third quarter
of 2016.

Net interest expense was $18.9 million in the third quarter of 2017
as compared with $18.2 million in the third quarter of 2016. The
increase primarily reflects an increased weighted average interest
rate and higher debt levels.

The effective income tax rate in the third quarter in each of 2017
and 2016 largely reflects the Company's valuation allowance
position against all net deferred tax assets.  The $0.1 million
income tax benefit in the third quarter of 2017 includes a $0.5
million benefit from the loss on continuing operations which was
partially offset by the recognition of deferred tax liabilities
associated with indefinite-lived assets.  The $0.2 million income
tax benefit in the third quarter of 2016 includes a $0.6 million
benefit from the loss on continuing operations which was partially
offset by the recognition of deferred tax liabilities associated
with indefinite-lived assets.

Net cash used in operating activities was $160.4 million and $81.0
million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The decrease in cash flow
primarily reflects a higher net loss of $27.3 million and a $37.2
million unfavorable change in cash flow from working capital.  The
decrease in cash flow from working capital was largely due to
unfavorable fluctuations of $113.6 million and $21.6 million in
cash flows from accounts payable and prepaid expenses,
respectively, partially offset by a favorable variance of $107.0
million in cash flows from inventories.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.7 million in 2017
compared with net cash used in investing activities of $43.9
million in 2016.  In 2017, the inflow of cash includes $39.4
million of proceeds associated with various real estate
transactions.  Capital expenditures totaled $35.7 million and $43.9
million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, reflecting a planned
decrease in capital expenditures.  These expenditures do not
reflect reductions for external contributions (primarily leasehold
improvement and fixture allowances received from landlords or
vendors) of $6.8 million and $20.9 million in 2017 and 2016,
respectively.  The Company anticipates that its fiscal 2017 capital
expenditures will not exceed $44.1 million (excluding external
contributions of $14.1 million, reducing anticipated net capital
investments to $30.0 million).

Net cash used in financing activities was $156.3 million and $125.0
million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The increase in cash used
in financing activities is primarily a result of increased net
borrowings to support current year operations.

Aside from planned capital expenditures, the Company's primary cash
requirements will be to service debt and finance working capital
increases during peak selling seasons.

Bon-Ton Stores reported a net loss of $63.41 million for the year
ended Jan. 28, 2017, a net loss of $57.05 million for the fiscal
year ended Jan. 30, 2016, and a net loss of $6.97 million for the
year ended Jan. 31, 2015.

                          *     *     *

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 27, 2017, S&P Global Ratings lowered
its corporate credit rating on The Bon-Ton Stores to 'CCC' from
'CCC+'.  The outlook is negative.  "The downgrade reflects our view
that Bon-Ton could pursue a debt restructuring to address its
capital structure over the next 12 months.  We believe Bon-Ton's
existing capital structure is unsustainable given our expectation
for persistently negative free operating cash flow, continued
pressure on operating performance, and diminishing revolver excess
availability over time.  There are no maturities over the next 12
months.

Also in November 2017, Moody's Investors Service downgraded The
Bon-Ton Stores's Corporate Family Rating to 'Caa3' from 'Caa1'.
The downgrade reflects the high likelihood of a distressed exchange
to reduce its debt obligations and improve the company's long term
liquidity profile.


BRIAR HILL: Sale of All Assets to Sander Brothers for $3.3M Okayed
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Russ Kendig of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Ohio authorized Briar Hill Foods, LLC, Bias Realty,
Ltd., Jack Coffy, LLC, Thorne Management, Inc. and CPW Properties,
Ltd. to sell substantially all of their assets to Sander Brothers,
Inc. or its assigns, for $3,250,000.

The Sale Hearing was held on Nov. 30, 2017 at 10:00 a.m.

The sale is free and clear of all Liens, with all such Liens being
divested to the proceeds of sale.

The proceeds of the sale of the Assets will be paid at closing in
cash to Huntington in the amount of Huntington's allowed secured
claim, as set forth in the Cash Collateral Order and as amended by
the Financing Order, except for (i) amounts necessary to satisfy
the Cure Amounts for any Purchased Contracts; (ii) amounts
necessary to satisfy carve-outs or commissions agreed to by
Huntington, subject to court approval; (iii) amounts necessary to
pay the statutory fees of the United States Trustee, including
estimated amounts for any distribution under the Order; (iv)
amounts necessary to pay any allowed, prior secured claim; (v)
amounts necessary to fund an escrow for potential or disputed prior
secured claims or Liens; (vi) amounts necessary to fund any other
escrow as may be required by the APA; and (vii) for any amounts in
excess of Huntington's allowed secured claims.

Pursuant to Sections 105(a) and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and
subject to and conditioned upon the Closing of the sale to the
Purchaser under the APA, the Debtors' assumption and assignment of
the Purchased Contracts to the Purchaser is authorized and approved
as of the date of Closing.

To the extent that Section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code applies,
the sale of the Assets to the Purchaser will be exempt from any and
all stamp, transfer, recording, and other similar taxes (other than
income taxes), and any transfer fees or other similar costs
incurred or assessed by any federal, state, local, or foreign
taxing authority (including interest and penalties, if any) in
connection with the sale or transfer of the Assets to Purchaser or
the transactions contemplated by the APA.

The Order is a final order and, in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule
8002(a), the time to file a notice of appeal of the Order will
commence on the date of the entry of the Order by the Court.
Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h), the Court expressly finds that
there is no just reason for delay in the implementation of the
Order, and expressly directs that the 14-day stay otherwise
applicable pursuant to Rule 6004(h) may be waived by agreement of
the parties to the APA.

BUTLER, PA: S&P Cuts 2015A/B GO Bonds Rating to B on Fund Concerns
------------------------------------------------------------------
Global Ratings has lowered its underlying rating (SPUR) on Butler,
Pa. series 2015A and 2015B general obligation (GO) bonds four
notches to 'B' from 'BB+' and placed it on CreditWatch with
negative implications.

"The downgrade reflects our continued concern over the city's lack
of management and its plan to fund a line of credit with PNC bank
that it guaranteed for the redevelopment authority (due Dec. 6,
2017) and could pressure its already thin liquidity and affect its
ability to meet its other debt obligations if the bank decides to
exercise its right for payment of the line of credit," explained
S&P Global Ratings credit analyst Moreen Skyers-Gibbs.

Butler entered into an agreement with its redevelopment authority
to guarantee a $2 million line of credit for the authority's
construction of a hotel. Originally, the plan had been to pay the
line of credit from a grant from the commonwealth once the
construction was complete. There have been construction delays and
the line of credit has been extended by the bank twice because of
them. After reaching out to management and the bank, we understand
the loan will not be paid by the due date as the project is once
again delayed and there is no plan to pay the line of credit at
this time. The authority and bank have discussed the potential for
a sale of the project or waiting until the project is completed.
The bank has noted that currently, it does not intend to exercise
its right to request repayment, but reserves the right to do so.
While the bank does not expect to receive the payment from either
the city or the authority by the maturity date of Dec. 6, it is
currently anticipating payment on Jan, 5, 2018. If this happens,
the city will be relieved of this obligation. Neither party has
requested an extension.

"The rating reflects our concern of the contingent liquidity risk
that remains with the line of credit outstanding and the potential
for the bank to request payment at any time after Dec. 6," added
Ms. Skyers-Gibbs. In our opinion, the city's guarantee of the line
of credit is considered a nonremote contingent liability and it
represents about 27% of the city's 2016 general fund revenues.
Furthermore, we believe that Butler could face unexpected liquidity
pressures since it has no plan in place for how it would address
the payment of the line of credit which has a short maturity. In
our opinion, given the magnitude of the loan, the city's current
liquidity position is already thin and will diminish if it has to
make payment of the line of credit. Its cash declined significantly
and stood at only $183,000 in fiscal 2016.
The CreditWatch Negative placement reflects our view that the line
of credit is due on Dec. 6, 2017, after which point the city could
be called on to provide payment of $2 million.

"It is possible the city and the bank could resolve the payment
situation through sale of the hotel within the 90-day CreditWatch
horizon, which would alleviate our contingent liquidity concerns,
though concerns regarding management's oversight and very weak
liquidity would likely persist," added Ms. Skyers-Gibbs.

Butler, with an estimated population of 13,371, is in Butler County
in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area.



CAMBRIDGE ACADEMY: Fitch Affirms BB- Rating on $7.8MM School Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the 'BB-' rating on the $7.8 million
outstanding charter school revenue bonds, series 2010 issued by the
Industrial Development Authority of the County of Pima, Arizona on
behalf of Cambridge Academy East (CAE or the obligor).

The Rating Outlook remains Negative.

SECURITY

The bonds are payable from a first-priority lien on all pledged
revenues of CAE, secured by a first mortgage on the financed
facilities and a cash-funded debt service reserve sized to
transaction maximum annual debt service (TMADS). There is an
intercept mechanism in place directing monthly state funding
disbursements to the trustee to cover debt service on the bonds
before funds are released to the school for operations. The Fitch
rating does not incorporate the intercept mechanism.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

DETERIORATED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: The Outlook remains Negative
given the sharp deterioration of CAE's operating performance (-11%
margin) and weakened financial and debt metrics stemming from
higher than budgeted enrollment loss that occurred in fiscal 2017.
This is consistent with a general pattern of volatile operating
results.

WEAK FINANCIAL CUSHION: CAE's balance sheet resources are limited
on both a nominal and ratio basis, providing minimal cushion
relative to operating expenses and debt.

RECENT ENROLLMENT GROWTH: CAE's enrollment base is small and
volatile. Enrollment is up about 7% in fiscal 2018 and generally in
line with budget according to management, which if sustained would
reverse a prior trend of decline.

HIGH DEBT BURDEN: CAE's debt burden remains high; TMADS rose to
27.7% of fiscal 2017 operating revenue and coverage of TMADS from
operations fell to less than 1x.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

IMPROVED FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: The rating is sensitive to
indications that balanced operating results will be restored in
fiscal 2018. Financial performance below this expectation, or that
does not appear to be sustainable, would further stress coverage
ratios and cause negative rating pressure.

CHARTER RELATED CONCERNS: Concerns about CAE's ability to maintain
its charter, last renewed in 2016 for a 20-year term, could
pressure the rating.


CHARMING CHARLIE: S&P Lowers CCR to 'D' on Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its corporate credit rating to 'D' from
'CCC' on Houston-based fashion jewelry and accessories retailer
Charming Charlie LLC.

S&P said, "At the same time, we lowered the issue-level rating on
the first-lien term loan facility to 'D' from 'CCC'. The recovery
rating on the first-lien term loan facility is '3', indicating
meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 50%) recovery in the event
of a payment default."

On Dec. 11, Charming Charlie LLC announced that it filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company plans to close about
100 stores immediately as part of the filing, with further store
closures likely. Charming Charlie has a $150 million first-lien
term loan outstanding minus amortization, as well as significant
outstanding debt under its $55 million revolving credit facility
(not rated).

CJ MICHEL: Cash Collateral Use Extended Through Dec. 31
-------------------------------------------------------

Eastern District of Kentucky has authorized CJ Michel Industrial
Services, LLC, to use cash collateral through Dec. 31, 2017, to pay

COBALT INTERNATIONAL: Files for Chapter 11 Amid Search for Buyer
----------------------------------------------------------------
Cobalt International Energy, Inc. and certain of its U.S.
affiliates on Dec. 14, 2017, filed voluntary petitions for relief
under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Cobalt expects to conduct business in the ordinary course, and its
cash on hand is expected to provide Cobalt with adequate liquidity
to fund its operations during the restructuring process. The
Chapter 11 Cases are expected to facilitate the restructuring
process and the proposed sale of Cobalt's assets.

Earlier this month, Cobalt said it has elected not to make the
interest payment of approximately $8.1 million due on Dec. 1, 2017
with respect to its outstanding 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due
2019.  The indenture governing the 2019 Notes permits the Company a
30-day grace period to make the interest payment.  If the Company
fails to make the interest payment within the grace period an event
of default will result, and the trustee or noteholders holding at
least 25% in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 2019
Notes may elect to accelerate the 2019 Notes causing them to be
immediately due and payable.  In addition, an event of default
under the indenture governing the 2019 Notes would trigger an event
of default under all of the Company's other outstanding
indebtedness.

On Thursday, Cobalt said it has been engaged in constructive
discussions with its first lien noteholders, second lien
noteholders, unsecured noteholders and their respective advisors
regarding the need for, sponsorship of, and terms of a
restructuring and proposed sale of Cobalt's assets. Cobalt plans to
utilize the Chapter 11 Cases to continue and complete these
discussions with key stakeholders and evaluate other
value-maximizing opportunities to facilitate an expedited
restructuring that will deliver maximum value to its stakeholders.

Cobalt has filed a variety of "first-day" motions with the court
seeking, among other things, authority to use the cash collateral,
maintain its existing cash management system and other customary
relief.  When granted, such motions will assure Cobalt's ability to
maintain business-as-usual operations throughout the restructuring
process.

                    No DIP Financing Needed

The Debtors said in court filings that they currently have
approximately $437 million in cash on hand which the Debtors
believe is sufficient to fund these chapter 11 cases and a sale
process without the need for debtor-in-possession financing.

                  $2.8 Billion in Funded Debt

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors have $2.8 billion in total
funded debt:

                                               Outstanding
       Long Term Debt Obligations               Principal
       --------------------------               ---------
10.75% first lien notes due 2021            $500.0 million
7.75% second lien notes due 2023            $934.7 million
2.625% senior unsecured notes due 2019      $619.2 million
3.125% senior unsecured notes due 2024      $786.9 million
                                            --------------
       Total                               $2,800 million

Wilmington Trust, National Association is trustee and collateral
agent under the 10.75% first lien notes due 2021 and 7.75% second
lien secured notes due 2023.  Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association is the trustee under the 2.625% unsecured notes due
2019 and the 3.125% convertible senior unsecured notes due 2024.

Cobalt said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
that the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constitutes an event
of default that accelerated the Company's or the Debtors'
obligations, as the case may be, under these debt documents.  Any
efforts to enforce those obligations under the Debt Documents are
automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Petitions and
the holders' rights of enforcement in respect of the Debt Documents
are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

As of Nov. 30, 2017, Cobalt has approximately 29.9 million shares
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding.
Cobalt has 133.3 million shares of authorized common stock.
Cobalt's common stock traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol
"CIE," after its IPO in 2009, until it was notified by the NYSE, on
Dec. 13, 2017, that the NYSE would immediately commence delisting
proceedings.  Cobalt's common stock is expected to begin trading on
the over the counter market beginning on Dec. 14, 2017.

                         First Day Motions

The Debtors filed a number of first day motions seeking orders
granting relief intended to stabilize Cobalt's business operations,
facilitate the efficient administration of these chapter 11 cases,
and expedite a swift and smooth sale of Cobalt's assets.

A hearing on the first day motions was held Dec. 14, 2017, at 3:30
p.m. CT.

A hearing will be held to consider final orders related to the
First day motions on Jan. 11, 2018, at 2:00 P.M. (Central Time)
before the Honorable Marvin Isgur, 515 Rusk Street, Courtroom 404,
Houston, Texas 77002.

COBALT INTERNATIONAL: Shares Begin Trading on OTC Pink Sheets
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cobalt International Energy, Inc. disclosed in a regulatory filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Company was
notified on Dec. 13, 2017, by the New York Stock Exchange that the
NYSE had determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company's
common stock from the NYSE. These proceedings are a result of the
Company's failure to comply with the continued listing standard set
forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that
required the Company to maintain an average global market
capitalization over a consecutive 30-day trading period of at least
$15.0 million for the Company's common stock.

The NYSE suspended the trading of the Company's common stock at the
close of trading on December 13.  In addition, the NYSE advised the
Company that its application to the Securities and Exchange
Commission to delist the Company's common stock was pending,
subject to the completion of applicable procedures.

Effective December 14, 2017, the Company's common stock was
expected to begin trading on the OTC Pink marketplace under the
symbol "CIEI". The Company can provide no assurance that its common
stock will begin or continue to trade on this market, whether
broker-dealers will begin or continue to provide public quotes of
the Company's common stock on this market, whether the trading
volume of the Company's common stock will be sufficient to provide
for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for the Company's
common stock may be blocked by OTC Markets Group in the future. The
Company will remain subject to the public reporting requirements of
the SEC following the trading of its common units on the OTC Pink
marketplace.

FAIRMOUNT SANTROL: Fitch Puts B- Issuer Default Rating on Watch Pos
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has placed the 'B-' Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings
(IDRs) of Fairmount Santrol Inc. and Fairmount Santrol Holdings
Inc. (FMSA) on Rating Watch Positive.

The Rating Watch Positive follows the announcement of a merger with
Unimin Corporation which Fitch expects to provide a more stable
stream of cash flows and be deleveraging for Fairmount Santrol. The
proposed merger will result in the delisting of FMSA and listing
the new combined entity on the NYSE, with FMSA shareholders
receiving $170 million in cash and a 35% stake of the new company.
FMSA has already obtaining voting agreements with shareholders
representing 26% of outstanding shares. Fitch believes the new
company will have an improved credit profile over FMSA's current
profile, with a stronger more stable cash flow profile from the
increased exposure to the industrial segment, reduced customer
concentration, and the potential for further improved cash flows
upon completion of a company specified $150 million in synergies.

The Rating Watch Positive is expected to be resolved upon
completion of the merger when further details on the combined
company and capital allocation plans should be known. The merger is
currently expected to close mid-year 2018. Should the transaction
not be completed Fitch believes the stand-alone profile of
Fairmount Santrol is unchanged.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Merger Provides Stable Cash Flow, Volumes: The combination of
Fairmount and Unimin is expected to change Fairmount Santrol's LTM
tons sold sand mix from 79% proppant solutions and 21% industrial
materials to 58% proppant solutions and 42% industrial materials
pro forma Sept. 30, 2017 while nearly tripling total tons sold.
Fitch views the shift to a more equalized volume distribution
between the two segments as a positive to the credit. The
industrial materials segment is a more stable business with
predictable cash flows and GDP like growth for volumes, providing a
strong base to a more volatile proppant solutions segment.

On the proppant side, the addition Unimin's 3 million ton frac sand
mine in the Permian, expected to be completed in the first half of
2018, will add volumetric stability with 75% of volumes contracted
over a multiyear period. Fitch believes the in-basin Permian sand
will be the most resilient sand in a downturn due to its proximity
to the lowest cost basin in the U.S.

Deleveraging Transaction: The combined company has fully committed
financing in place with a Term Loan B of $1.65 billion. The
transaction is expected to reduce leverage compared to stand-alone
Fairmount, with the combined entity having a pro forma debt/EBITDA
of 4.1x compared to Fairmount Santrol's 5.0x at Sept. 30, 2017.
Leverage, assuming synergies, would decrease gross debt/EBITDA to
3.0x. The decreased leverage, along with the larger base of stable
cash flows is expected to provide a stronger credit profile in
comparison to current FMSA stand-alone rating.

Increasing Volumes, Margins: Frac sand volumes and prices have
increased substantially since the downturn in 2015 and 2016, when
demand faltered as E&P drilling budgets were cut and activity was
halted. Year-over-year, Fairmount Santrol's frac sand volumes
doubled in the second quarter to 2.59 million tons sold. While
drilling activity has been a large driver of the increase in
demand, enhanced completions have also contributed as a greater
amount of proppant is being used per well. Fitch believes that E&Ps
may be approaching optimal frac sand per well foot but expects that
well lengths will continue to increase. Margins have also expanded,
with Fairmount's stand-alone gross profit per ton increasing from
about $9.26 in the fourth quarter of 2016 to $30.05 for Sept. 30,
2017.

Advantaged Core Mines: Fairmount's Wedron facility is among the
lowest cost northern white sand mines in the industry and has resin
coating capabilities. The large Central Illinois mine is advantaged
by location relative to other northern white mines in Wisconsin,
where the distance to active basins as well as operational benefits
from unit train capabilities can result in substantial all-in cost
savings. Fairmount is also constructing a new in basin mine in
Kermit, Texas, situated in-between the Delaware and Midland basin,
providing the first in-basin option for Fairmount. The location of
the mine is expected to be a significant benefit for Fairmount, as
costs to truck from the new build location to well sites is
considerably cheaper than from Fairmount's established Voca
facility. Fitch expects the mine will be fully utilized at 3.0
million tons of annual capacity once fully functional in 2018.

The rebound in frac sand also changed the demand profile for mesh
grades, with fine sand, 40/70 mesh and 100 mesh sands, being more
in demand than coarse sands. Recent improvements at Wedron,
combined with the new Kermit facility will increase Fairmount's
fine mesh offering to 74% of active capacity and will allow
Fairmount to flex their sand mix with market demand. The increased
capacity of fine mesh, with the added flexibility to change
production mixes, makes Fairmount a stronger competitor in the sand
market.

Stable I&R Business: The Industrial & Recreational business segment
is a stable, GDP-like growth business that services multiple end
markets and provides Fairmount with some volumetric and cash flow
profile stability and diversification. On a stand-alone basis, the
segment has historically made over $40 million in gross profit and
sells 2.3 million to 2.5 million tons annually. The segment has
performed well in the first two quarters, selling 1.28 million tons
of silica and contributing $29 million in gross profit. Fitch
expects the business will remain stable throughout the forecast.

Improving FCF, Leverage Profiles: Fitch's stand-alone base case
projects Fairmount Santrol will be FCF positive $36 million in
2017, compared to a Fitch calculated negative FCF of $37 million in
2016. Increases in price and volume have helped improve cash flows,
but the timing of capital expenditures on the new build Kermit
facility cut into the company's FCF. Fitch expects FCF to build
throughout the base case, growing to $74 million and $119 million
in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Leverage is also expected to
improve dramatically to 3.7x by the end of 2017, improving from
9.8x at June 30, 2017 and 273.7x at the end of 2016. A full year of
opened mines and solid pricing should increase EBITDA, further
reducing leverage to 2.7x in 2018.

Extended Maturity Schedule: The October debt refinancing extended
Fairmount's maturity wall, eliminating near term refinancing risk
and one of the negative rating sensitivities. The $700 million term
loan due 2022 is secured by a first priority lien on non-working
capital assets and a second priority lien on working capital
assets. The term loan does not contain any financial covenants but
does include cash flow sweeps, while the revolver has a minimum
fixed charge coverage of 1.0x if excess availability is less than
the greater of 12.5% of the maximum borrowing base or $10 million.

Cyclical Macro: Sand mining volumes are reliant upon exploration
and production activity, with a material reduction in activity
having a large negative effect on FMSA and the industry as a whole.
Reduction in completion activities generally causes oversupply of
sand, which takes some time to work through as companies liquidate
inventory, causing margins to be lost, and expensive or out of
demand mines to be shuttered. There has been a rapid expansion of
in basin Permian mines that are currently in construction or in the
process of being approved, increasing the likelihood that white
sand from the Illinois/Wisconsin/Minnesota area could become
uneconomic. Fairmount is better equipped for a downturn than they
were before, with a Permian basin sand option available that would
most likely continue to operate through a downturn and Wedron,
which is a strong low cost option for white sand. FMSA's balance
sheet is also better equipped, with some debt reduction and pushed
out maturities mitigating refinancing risk.

DERIVATION SUMMARY

Stand-alone Fairmount Santrol's ratings are supported by its market
position as one of the largest frac sand miners with advantaged
facilities that provide operational and logistical advantages
compared to peers. Pre-merger, Fairmount will have approximately
15.6 million tons of active annual frac sand production capacity
after they complete their Kermit, Texas facility in 2Q 2018, making
them one of the largest two producers in the U.S. U.S. Silica
Holdings Inc. also has frac sand mines under construction, and will
have approximately 20 million tons of capacity by the end of 2018.
Hi-Crush Partners LP and Smart Sands Inc. are smaller than
Fairmount at 13.4 million tons and 5.5 million tons of capacity.
Other supporting factors include the company's industrial and
recreational silica business that provides volume and cash flow
stability and diversification from the more volatile frac sand
market and the company's expected free cash flow throughout the
forecast. Offsetting factors include the susceptibility of the
industry to boom and busts cycles that severely impact the
industry's ability to operate profitably in the trough. Leverage
compared to peers is also higher, with 9/30/2017 debt/EBITDA was
5.0x for Fairmount, 2.6x for Hi-Crush Partners LP, and 2.3x for
U.S. Silica Holdings Inc.

While U.S. Silica and Hi-Crush have moved into last-mile logistical
services that truck the sand from either the nearby mine or the
transloading station and provide advantages at the well site
including reduced demurrages, Fairmount has not entered this end
market, instead focusing on improving operations and using excess
cash for debt reduction. Fairmount instead has continued to allow
the service providers to take care of the delivery logistics. The
refinancing and additional commitments to pay down debt, along with
the addition of an in-basin option and expected free cash flow
should allow for some additional debt reduction and lower
leverage.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

Fitch's Key Assumptions Within Fitch Rating Case for the Issuer:
-- Increased production and margin in 2017 for frac sand, at
    around 10 million tons and $22.7/ton sold, respectively.
-- Tons increase in 2018, consistent with Fitch's current oil
    price deck assumptions, based upon a higher rig count, as
    rigs were being added in 2017, and more tons of sand/well.
-- Total capital expenditures of about $230 million over 2017 and

    2018, accounting for Fairmount's expected new build
    construction costs.
-- Debt repayments as scheduled, paying off the ABL draw and some

    excess cash flow repayments. Remaining fee cash flow remains
    on the balance sheet.

Recovery Rating Assumptions: The recovery analysis assumes
Fairmount Santrol would be considered a going concern in bankruptcy
and that the company would be reorganized rather than liquidated.
Fitch assume a 10% administration claim.

Fitch's recovery rating assigned to the various debt classes are
based upon assumed going concern EBITDA of $190 million and a going
concern enterprise multiple of 4x. The going concern EBITDA was
estimated to be the level of EBITDA Fairmount would generate
following a deep cyclical downturn. Fairmount's growing local sand
capabilities and ability to flex production to demand changes in
both size and type of sand is viewed as important in achieving the
assumed post-emergence EBITDA. The multiple considers recent market
transactions and accounts for the uncertainty of cash flows due to
the underlying commodity.

The secured revolving credit facility is assumed to be half drawn,
reflecting a reduced borrowing base at the point of default. The
$10 million revenue bond is considered super senior by Fitch, and
is first in the recovery waterfall. The credit facility is next,
per Fitch's recovery criteria for well-structured ABL facilities,
and is assumed to recover 100% for a 'BB-'/'RR1' rating. The term
loan recovery is second to the credit facility due to the credit
facility's first lien on working capital. The term loan is expected
to recover at the 'B+'/'RR2' level.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Developments that May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Positive Rating Action
-- Gross debt balance of $600 million or less or a sustained
    gross debt/EBITDA below 2.5x-3.0x;
-- Reduced customer concentration or counter party risk;
-- Material increase in free cash flow resulting from continued
    improvement in gross margins;
-- Value chain integration that leads to margin expansion and
    cash flow diversification.

Developments that May, Individually or Collectively, Lead to
Negative Rating Action
-- Material reduction in U.S. drilling and E&P capex leading to
    a reduction in completion activities;
-- Interest coverage ratio at or below 1.0x for a sustained
    period of time;
-- Liquidity below $100 million, which is enough to cover debt
    servicing and a year of normalized capital expenditures.

LIQUIDITY

Adequate Liquidity: Liquidity is adequate for Fairmount Santrol
with approximately $138 million in cash and $75 million in revolver
availability at September 30, 2017, pro-forma the recent debt
transaction. Fitch expects the company to build cash throughout the
forecast, most likely using some of the cash flow to reduce
revolver borrowings.

The revolver is due 2022 and is secured by a first priority lien on
Net Working Capital Assets and a second lien on non-working capital
assets, as opposed to a blanket first lien on all assets the
previous revolver had. The borrowing base is the sum of 85% of
accounts receivable, plus either 50% of inventory or the lesser of
70% of inventory or 85% of the liquidation value of inventory.

FULL LIST OF RATING ACTIONS

Fitch has placed the following ratings on Rating Watch Positive:

Fairmount Santrol Inc.
-- Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) 'B-';
-- Senior secured ABL credit facility 'BB-'/'RR1';
-- Senior secured term loan 'B+'/'RR2'.

Fairmount Santrol Holdings Inc.
-- Long-Term IDR at 'B-';


FAIRMOUNT SANTROL: S&P Places 'B-' CCR on CreditWatch Positive
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings placed its 'B-' corporate credit rating on
Fairmount Santrol Inc. and its 'B-' issue-level rating on the
company's $700 million senior secured term loan on CreditWatch with
positive implications.

The CreditWatch placement follows the announcement that Fairmount
Santrol plans to merge with Unimin. If the merger is completed as
proposed, Fairmount Santrol's shareholders will receive $170
million in cash and 35% of the new company. Sibelco, Unimin's
parent, will own the other 65%. The companies expect to close the
transaction by the second quarter of 2018.

S&P said, "The CreditWatch with positive implications means we
could raise the ratings on Fairmount Santrol. We will resolve the
CreditWatch as key transaction milestones are achieved, including
approval by Fairmount Santrol's shareholders and regulatory
approvals."


FLEX ACQUISITION: S&P Alters Outlook to Stable on Good Performance
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B' corporate credit ratings on
Flex Acquisition Holdings Inc. (doing business as Novolex) and
revised the outlook to stable from negative.  

S&P said, "At the same time, we affirmed our existing 'B'
issue-level rating and '3' recovery rating on the company's senior
secured credit facilities, which is comprised of a $300 million
revolver and a $1.575 billion first-lien term loan. The '3'
recovery rating reflects our expectation for meaningful (50%-70%;
rounded estimate: 55%) recovery in a payment default scenario.

"We also affirmed our 'CCC+' issue-level rating and '6' recovery
rating on the company's $625 million senior unsecured notes. The
'6'recovery rating reflects our expectation for negligible (0%-10%;
rounded estimate: 0%) recovery in a payment default scenario.

"Our revised outlook reflects Novolex's improved operating
performance since its acquisition by the The Carlyle Group
(December 2016) and the contributions from its Burrows Paper Corp.
(December 2016) and Heritage Bag Co. (April 2016) acquisitions.
Through year-to-date Sept. 30, 2017, Novolex's pro forma adjusted
EBITDA grew 9%, from $243.8 million to $265.5 million, as a result
of improved product and pricing mix and realized acquisition
synergies of approximately $14.1 million. In addition, the majority
of one-time transaction costs associated with its acquisition by
Carlyle are expected to roll off by fiscal year-end (FYE) 2017,
resulting in an estimated adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of
approximately 6.4x for FYE 2017. The expected improvement in the
company's leverage metrics is consistent with its current ratings.
Therefore, we revised our outlook to stable.        

"Our stable outlook reflects our expectations that steady demand in
the company's key end-markets will result in modest volume growth
over the next 12 months and consistent, if not improving, operating
margins that will enable the company to maintain credit metrics
consistent with the current rating. We expect the company will
continue to pursue bolt-on acquisition opportunities, though
nothing that would result in a sustained deterioration in its
credit metrics. Over the next 12 months, we expect the company's
adjusted debt to EBITDA to improve to below 7.0x, which is
consistent with the current rating.

"We could lower our ratings on Novolex if its operating performance
is significantly weaker than we expect due to, for example, shifts
in consumer preferences, increased legislative pressure, or
unexpected difficulties related to the integration of previous
acquisitions, causing its debt-to-EBITDA metric to remain above 7x
without any prospect for recovery. This could occur if the company
revenues decline by 500 basis points (bps) and its operating
margins decline by 200 bps from our base case scenario. We could
also consider downgrading Novolex if the company pursued a large
debt-funded acquisition or dividend recapitalization, or if its
free cash flow deteriorated significantly enough for us to revise
our liquidity assessment to less than adequate.

"Although unlikely, we could consider raising our ratings on
Novolex if its operating performance is significantly better than
we expect, such that its adjusted debt-to-EBITDA fell below 5x on a
sustained basis. This could occur if the company's revenues improve
by 275 bps and its operating margins improve by 200 bps above our
base-case scenario. In addition, we would require the company and
its financial sponsor commit to financial policies that will
support credit metrics at these levels."

GENESYS RESEARCH: Former Employee Entitled to $2,687 Severance Pay
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Joan N. Feeney of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Massachusetts overruled the objection to the claim of Dr.
Christine Briggs filed by the Chapter 11 Trustee of the estate of
Genesys Research Institute, Inc.

Dr. Briggs, a former employee of GRI, who was terminated in
September of 2014, approximately one year before the commencement
of the Debtor's bankruptcy case, timely filed a proof of claim on
Oct. 29, 2015 seeking sick time pay in the amount of $4,262 and
severance pay in the amount of $2,687, for a total claim in the
amount of $6,949.

The Trustee maintains that GRI did not have any severance policy in
place at the time Dr. Briggs was terminated, and it was not legally
obligated to make an offer of severance to her. Alternatively, he
asserts that an offer of severance was discretionary and
conditioned upon the execution of a release.

Dr. Briggs indicated that her claim is based, at least in part, on
the Federal False Claim Act, 31 U.S.C. section 3730(h), which she
maintains provides for relief from retaliatory actions and, in her
particular case, retaliation was for her lawful acts in furtherance
of whistleblower allegations set forth in a complaint filed with
the Office of the Massachusetts Attorney General Charitable
Organization on Jan. 13, 2014 and a complaint filed in the
Massachusetts Superior Court, Department of the Trial Court on July
28, 2014.

The Trustee, through his Omnibus Objection to Dr. Briggs's proof of
claim provided arguments in an attempt to rebut the prima facie
validity of Dr. Brigg's proof of claim, emphasizing Dr. Briggs's
status as an at-will employee and the discretionary nature of the
severance policy. He did not, however, submit competent evidence to
sufficiently rebut the prima facie validity of her proof of claim
for severance in the amount of $2,687. Dr. Briggs demonstrated that
she has a valid claim for severance as she unequivocally
established that the severance policy was not applied uniformly
and, indeed, GRI did not act in good faith in failing to afford the
so-called whistleblower claimants such as herself the opportunity
to sign a release in exchange for severance benefits.

GLOBALLOGIC HOLDINGS: S&P Raises CCR to 'B+' on EBITDA Growth
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its corporate credit rating on San Jose,
Calif.-based GlobalLogic Holdings Inc. to 'B+' from 'B'. The
outlook is stable.

S&P said, "We raised our issue-level ratings on the company's
senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $50 million
revolving credit facility expiring 2021, and a $350 million senior
secured term loan due 2023, to 'B+' from 'B'. The '3' recovery
rating remains unchanged, and indicates our expectation for
meaningful recovery (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 55%) in the event
of payment default."

GlobalLogic's strong revenue growth and improving EBITDA margins
over the past year have contributed to leverage declining to the
mid-4x area for the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2017, a nearly 2x
improvement from the same time last year. The company has
benefitted from rapidly increasing demand for digital
transformation services and application development, as their
customers incorporate digital solutions into their go-to-market
strategy in a market that IDC estimates will grow in the mid- to
high-teen percentage area annually for the next five years. The
company has proven its ability to effectively scale in response to
the burgeoning demand for services, and has benefitted modestly
from operating leverage, expanding adjusted EBITDA margins by
around 200 basis points (bps) to the low 20% area over the past 12
months. S&P said, "We expect these margins to be stable over the
foreseeable future. In addition, we expect GlobalLogic to continue
to maintain a modest financial policy, with no planned
transformative acquisitions or leveraged dividends, and that
adjusted leverage will remain below 5x on a sustained basis."

S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation for the
company to continue to grow revenue in the high-teen percentage
point area, in line with current industry trends as companies look
to take advantage of the value proposition from outsourcing product
R&D, while maintaining current operating margins, such that
leverage remains below 5x.

"We could consider a lower rating if significant customer
defections and decreased utilization rates lead to weakness in
revenue or profitability, or if the company pursues aggressive
leveraged dividends or acquisitions, resulting in adjusted debt to
EBITDA in excess of 5x or free operating cash flow to debt below 5%
on a sustained basis.

"Although we are unlikely to do so over the next 12 months, we
could raise the rating if GlobalLogic is able to gain significant
scale and market share within the product engineering services
market through sustained growth, while diversifying its client base
and industry concentration, and reducing adjusted debt to EBITDA
below 4x on a sustained basis."

GRAFTECH INTERNATIONAL: S&P Raises CCR to 'B', Outlook Positive
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its corporate credit rating on
Independence, Ohio-based GrafTech International Ltd. to 'B' from
'CCC+'. The outlook is positive.

S&P said, "We also raised our issue-level rating on the company's
$300 million senior unsecured notes due 2020 to 'B' from 'CCC+'. We
revised the recovery rating on the notes to '3' from '4', which
indicates our expectation for meaningful (50%-70%; rounded
estimate: 50%) recovery in the event of a payment default."

The upgrade reflects the exponential improvement in spot graphite
electrode pricing to a high of nearly $30,000 per metric tonne (mt)
from a low of roughly $2,500/mt in less than a year due largely to
supply-side reforms in China. S&P said, "Over the next several
years, we expect GrafTech to benefit materially from the signing of
long-term (three to five years) take-or-pay contracts at prices
well above historical averages, and to a lesser extent from higher
spot prices; improved volumes; and lower fixed costs. In our view,
this reflects the company's dramatically evolving credit profile,
underscored by its shifting strategy toward longer-term contracts
at a time when graphite electrode pricing is much more favorable.
As a result, we expect the company to produce adjusted debt to
EBITDA of about 7x and EBITDA interest coverage of about 2.5x by
year-end 2017, before improving to below 2x and above 20x,
respectively, by year-end 2018. While we acknowledge this is a
considerable improvement from the previous year, when GrafTech
produced an EBITDA loss, the company's operating performance this
year is already markedly better. For instance, GrafTech's adjusted
debt to EBITDA was about 10x and EBITDA interest coverage was
roughly 1.25x for the rolling 12-months (RTM) ended Sept. 30, 2017,
compared with approximately 20x and 0.75x, respectively, for the
RTM ended June 30, 2017." Notably, some of this improvement
followed the sale of GrafTech's Engineered Solutions segment in
2016 and 2017--the proceeds of which were used to repay its
revolving credit facility--which reduced adjusted debt by nearly
$60 million over the past 12 months.

S&P said, "The positive outlook reflects our view that GrafTech
will continue to benefit from selling graphite electrodes at much
higher prices--some on long-term contracts--over the next 12
months, leading to adjusted leverage below 2x and EBITDA interest
coverage above 20x by year-end 2018.

"We could raise our ratings on GrafTech over the next 12 months if
the company were able to maintain the recent upward momentum in its
credit measures, while signing additional long-term contracts at
prices well above the 10-year historical average price for graphite
electrodes of roughly $4,500/mt. This could cause us to view the
company to be better than similarly rated peers, even considering
the volatility of GrafTech's cash flows and potential contract
renewal risk in the long term. We could also take a positive rating
action if GrafTech's adjusted leverage remained comfortably below
4x on a sustained basis, along with a commitment from its financial
sponsor to keep leverage below this level over the long term.

"We could revise our outlook back to stable if GrafTech were unable
to sign meaningful additional long-term contracts, which would
leave the company more susceptible to the volatility of spot
graphite electrode prices. Under this scenario, and if prices fell
materially below current levels and back below their historical
levels, we could also revise our outlook back to stable. Although
less likely, we could also take a negative rating action over the
next 12 months if the company did not address its upcoming debt
maturities, especially its revolving credit facility and term loan
facility--with approximately $54 million outstanding as of Sept.
30, 2017--that are due in April 2019."


HKD TREATMENT: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral Until Feb. 27
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Elizabeth D. Katz of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Massachusetts authorized HKD Treatment Options, P.C.,

pre-petition cash collateral and will be recognized only to the
extent of any diminution in value of the Cash Collateral Claimant's
or any other creditor’s pre-petition collateral after the
petition date resulting from the Debtor’s use of cash collateral
during its Chapter 11 case.

The Debtor is required to file with the Court, on or before

issued a "going concern" qualification on the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, noting that
the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which
raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.


I-LOGIC TECHNOLOGIES: Moody's Gives B3 CFR, Rates 1st Lien Loans B3
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 Corporate Family Rating
(CFR) and B3-PD Probability of Default Rating (PDR) to I-Logic
Technologies Bidco Limited (Dealogic). Concurrently, Moody's
assigned a B3 rating to each of the proposed $20 million first lien
revolver and USD-equivalent $660 million first lien term loans
(which will be denominated in both USD and Euro tranches). The
ratings outlook is stable.

The new loans are being issued as part of a transaction whereby ION
Investment Group (ION) is acquiring a majority stake in Dealogic in
a transaction valued at over $1.2 billion. In addition to the $660
million term loan, ION will be financing the acquisition with $400
million of new cash equity. The Carlyle Group and the management
team will also have ownership stakes. The transaction is expected
to close in late December 2017.

Assignments:

Issuer: I-Logic Technologies Bidco Limited

-- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B3-PD

-- Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B3

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Assigned B3 (LGD3)

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: I-Logic Technologies Bidco Limited

-- Outlook, Assigned Stable

The ratings assigned are subject to receipt and review of final
documentation.

The following ratings remain unchanged and will be withdrawn upon
the closing of the transaction and the repayment in full of the
existing bank credit facilities:

Issuer: Diamond US Holding LLC

Corporate Family Rating of B2

Probability of Default Rating of B2-PD

$50 million senior secured first lien revolver due 2022 of B2
(LGD3)

$328 million senior secured first lien term loan due 2024 of B2
(LGD3)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B3 CFR is constrained by elevated financial risk arising from
very high leverage and aggressive financial policies under private
ownership which significantly pressures the credit profile and
leaves little cushion if execution is challenged. Pro forma for the
transaction, debt-to-EBITDA will measure over 10 times before
falling to just over 9 times by the end of 2018 and approaching the
mid-8 times area during 2019. Improvement in leverage, albeit
remaining quite high, will be driven by a combination of single
digit organic revenue growth, continued realization of cost savings
from initiatives Dealogic began in late 2016, and new initiatives
planned under ION's ownership. While debt-to-EBITDA is high for the
rating, EBITA-to-interest expense of about 1.6 times and
FCF-to-debt of just over 2% (both forecasts for 2018) are at levels
that support the B3 CFR. Despite being a well-known service
provider to its core market of financial service institutions, the
company is relatively small as measured by a roughly $160 million
revenue base. The company benefits from a solidly established and
entrenched position with a high degree of market penetration
particularly as a provider of transaction and fee information and
analytics to the global investment banking industry which supports
EBITA margins in excess of 30%. The credit profile is constrained
by significant customer concentration with revenue derived from the
top 10 customers comprising over two fifths of the total. Revenues
are supported by sticky customer relationships with each of the top
10 customers having been with the company for decades. Also
partially mitigating the concentration is that these customers use
multiple products across various regions. The company benefits from
the reliance by its customers on certain data and tools it provides
to price products, develop strategy, and understand market share
which is evidenced by high retention rates. Revenues benefit from
the large portion that is comprised of subscriptions (roughly three
quarters) which supports visibility.

Financial metrics cited include Moody's standard adjustments.
Moody's expenses Dealogic's capitalized software development
costs.

Moody's anticipates that Dealogic will have adequate liquidity over
the next 12 months supported by positive free cash flow to debt
measuring in the low single digits and availability under an
undrawn $20 million revolver due 2022. The revolver is $30 million
smaller than the company's prior facility which provides less
cushion to the company's liquidity particularly in light of initial
upfront claims on cash for implementation of cost savings
initiatives, interest expense, principal amortization of $6.6
million per year, and continued investments in software
development.

The company's $20 million senior secured first lien revolver due
2022 and USD-equivalent $660 million senior secured first lien term
loans due 2024 (denominated in both USD and Euros) are each rated
B3, the same as the CFR, reflecting the B3-PD PDR and their
position as the sole debt in the capital structure and the
preponderance of liabilities under Moody's loss given default
framework.

The stable ratings outlook reflects Moody's expectation for
single-digit revenue growth over the next 12 to 18 months with
profit margin expansion as the company realizes benefits from cost
rationalization initiatives albeit with leverage remaining
elevated.

Factors that could lead to a downgrade include a lack of growth or
a decline in revenue including due to loss of key customers or
decreased customer retention, deterioration in liquidity including
near breakeven or negative free cash flow, leveraging acquisitions
or debt-funded dividends, or execution challenges including on
implementation of cost rationalization initiatives.

An upgrade in the near-term is unlikely given Moody's view that
leverage will remain at elevated levels. However, prospective
factors that could lead to an upgrade include debt-to-EBITDA
sustained below 6 times and financial policies supportive of
leverage remaining at this level, sustained profitable, organic
revenue growth, improved liquidity with sustained FCF-to-debt over
5%, greater revenue diversification from service lines, and reduced
customer concentration.

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

Dealogic, with dual headquarters in New York and London, provides
transaction data and analytics to the investment banking industry
as well as investor book building and event workflow services.
While currently comprising a small part of revenues, the company
also provides services to the investment management community.
Following the close of the transaction, the company will be
majority-owned by ION with ownership stakes also held by The
Carlyle Group and the management team. Revenues for the twelve
months ended September 30, 2017 were roughly $160 million.


IGNITE RESTAURANT: Court Confirms Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge David R. Jones confirmed the Amended Joint
Chapter 11 Plan of Ignite Restaurant Group, Inc., et al., on
December 1, 2017.

BankruptcyData.com related that according to documents filed with
the Court, "The Plan is premised on the substantive consolidation
of all of the Debtors with respect to the treatment of all Claims
and Interests. The Plan shall serve as a request by the Debtors, in
lieu of a separate motion, to the Bankruptcy Court, that it grant
substantive consolidation with respect to the treatment of all
Claims and Interests as follows: on the Effective Date, (a) all
assets and liabilities of the Debtors will be merged or treated as
though they were merged; (b) all guarantees of the Debtors of the
obligations of any of Debtor and any joint and several liability of
any of the Debtors shall be eliminated; (c) each and every Claim of
a Debtor held against another Debtor shall be deemed released,
cancelled and terminated; and (d) each and every Claim and Interest
against any Debtor shall be deemed Filed against the consolidated
Debtors and all Claims Filed against more than one Debtor for the
same liability shall be deemed one Claim against any obligation of
the consolidated Debtors. Substantive consolidation is appropriate
here. Pursuant to the Settlement, the Lenders will be receiving all
of the net proceeds of the sale, except for $900,000 to be
distributed to general unsecured creditors. The cost of determining
the appropriate distributions and disentangling intercompany
claims, absent substantive consolidation, would be prohibitive."

IHEARTCOMMUNICATIONS INC: Exploring a Private Capital-Raising Deal
------------------------------------------------------------------
iHeartCommunications, Inc., said in a Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that it is currently exploring a
possible private capital-raising transaction supported by the value
of some or all of the 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock of
Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. held by its wholly-owned
subsidiary Broader Media, LLC and the 10,726,917 shares of Class A
common stock held by its wholly-owned subsidiary CC Finco, LLC.
That transaction, if agreed upon and consummated on the terms being
explored, would result in the pledge of these shares for the
benefit of the investors.

According to the Company, there can be no assurance that any
transaction will be agreed upon and consummated.  Any securities
offered in a transaction will be offered in reliance on exemptions
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

                    About iHeartMedia, Inc. and
                     iHeartCommunications, Inc.

iHeartMedia, Inc. (PINK: IHRT), the parent company of
iHeartCommunications, Inc., is a global media and entertainment
company.  Based in San Antonio, Texas, iHeartCommunications
specializes in radio, digital, outdoor, mobile, social, live
events, on-demand entertainment and information services for local
communities, and uses its unparalleled national reach to target
both nationally and locally on behalf of its advertising partners.
The Company is dedicated to using the latest technology solutions
to transform the Company's products and services for the benefit of
its consumers, communities, partners and advertisers, and its
outdoor business reaches over 34 countries across five continents,
connecting people to brands using innovative new technology.

iHeartCommunications reported a net loss attributable to the
Company of $296.31 million in 2016, a net loss attributable to the
Company of $754.6 million in 2015, and a net loss attributable to
the Company of $793.76 million in 2014.  As of Sept. 30, 2017,
iHeartCommunications had $12.25 billion in total assets, $23.93
billion in total liabilities and a total stockholders' deficit of
$11.67 billion.

                           *    *    *

In March 2017, Fitch Ratings downgraded iHeartCommunications,
Inc.'s Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to 'C' from 'CC'.  The
downgrade reflects iHeart's announcement on March 15, 2017, that
the company has commenced a global restructuring effort targeting
approximately $14.6 billion in debt including all of the
outstanding Term Loans and PGNs as well as the senior notes due
2021.

Also in March 2017, S&P Global Ratings lowered its corporate credit
rating on Texas-based media company iHeartMedia Inc. and its
subsidiary iHeartCommunications Inc. to 'CC' from 'CCC'.  The
rating outlook is negative.  The downgrade follows
iHeartCommunications' announcement that it has offered to exchange
five series of priority-guarantee notes, its senior notes due 2021,
and its term loan D and E for longer-dated debt; and, in certain
scenarios, stock and warrants, or contingent value rights.  "Under
all but one scenario, there would be a reduction in the principal
amount of debt outstanding and an extension of the debt maturity by
two years for exchanged debt," said S&P Global Ratings' credit
analyst Jeanne Shoesmith.  "The company's debt is trading at
significant discounts to par of 20%-60%, and we believe its capital
structure is unsustainable."

In December 2016, Moody's Investors Service affirmed
iHeartCommunications, Inc.'s 'Caa2' Corporate Family Rating.

INSTALLED BUILDING: Moody's Rates $299MM 1st Lien Loan 'B1'
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a B1 rating to the amended
$299 million, seven-year, first-lien term loan due 2024 of
Installed Building Products Inc.("IBP"). IBP has successfully
repriced its existing Term Loan B facility, thereby reducing the
spread 50 basis points to a spread of LIBOR plus 250 basis points
with a LIBOR floor of one percent. The repricing is leverage
neutral and allows IBP to reduce its annual interest payments by
approximately $1.5 million. In addition, the capital expenditures
covenant of the Term Loan B facility was increased from $50 million
to $100 million, which provides IBP with greater flexibility to
support growth. This facility has no financial maintenance
covenants.

Assignments:

Issuer: Installed Building Products Inc.

-- $299 million senior secured 1st lien term loan due 2024,
    assigned B1 (LGD4)

RATINGS RATIONALE

IBP's B1 Corporate Family Rating reflects its strong metrics,
particularly debt leverage and interest coverage; a
well-established business model, with a strong position in the
insulation installation sector; and an apparently well-honed
acquisition and integration strategy that encompassed seven
business combinations during the nine months ended September 30,
2017 and six during the comparable period in 2016.

At the same time, the B1 rating considers IBP's propensity to grow
via acquisitions, which could prove increasingly risky and more
expensive going forward. Moody's notes that integration issues can
frequently be masked during growth periods and sometimes only
surface during downturns. In addition, acquisition multiples in
general seem to be trending up, and the majority of IBP's revenues
are derived from domestic new housing construction, which has
proven to be highly cyclical and volatile.

The stable rating outlook anticipates demand from its key end
markets will grow moderately, and that both adjusted debt/EBITDA
and EBITA/interest will remain supportive of a B1 or better
rating.

The ratings could benefit if revenues approached the $2 billion
mark, debt/EBITDA were sustainably reduced below 2.5x, and the
company succeeded in further diversifying its products and
end-markets.

Ratings could come under pressure if adjusted debt/EBITDA ballooned
to over 4.5x, operating margins declined substantially, free cash
flow deteriorated significantly, or liquidity became impaired.

IBP has an SGL-2 liquidity rating, indicating that Moody's expects
liquidity to be good over the next 12 to 18 months, supported by
$92 million of cash and equivalents as of September 30, 2017, a
$100 million undrawn ABL, and significant headroom under a
springing 1:1 fixed charge coverage covenant.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Distribution &
Supply Chain Services Industry published in December 2015.

IBP, a Delaware corporation formed on October 28, 2011 and
headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, primarily installs insulation,
waterproofing, fire-stopping, fireproofing, garage doors, rain
gutters, shower doors, closet shelving and mirrors and other
products for residential and commercial builders located in the
continental United States. The Company operates in over 100
locations. Revenues and net income for the trailing 12 months ended
September 30, 2017 were approximately $1.1 billion and $41 million,
respectively.


IRAAN GENERAL: Moody's Lowers GOULT Rating to Ba1
-------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has downgraded to Ba1 from Baa3 Iraan
General Hospital District, TX's general obligation limited tax
rating. The district's issuer rating has also been downgraded to
Ba1 from Baa3. The downgrade affects approximately $10.3 million of
rated debt. The outlook on the district's ratings remains
negative.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The downgrade to Ba1 reflects the district's expected weakness in
operating margins exacerbated by the sustained low prices in the
oil and gas industry. It also reflects high cash levels that will
reduce materially in the 12 to 24 months due to anticipated capital
needs, reducing liquidity, in a deteriorating financial
environment.

The Ba1 rating reflects the district's moderately sized tax base
with significant oil and gas concentration, average wealth levels,
moderate debt burden and limited pension liability. Additional
considerations include the district's capacity under the state
mandated tax rate cap, affording some flexibility that should
continue to support stable property tax revenues, critical to
operating performance.

RATING OUTLOOK

The negative outlook reflects expectations that the district's
financial profile will continue to be pressured through fiscal 2018
based on declining patient admissions and plans to spend a large
amount on capital. It also reflects expectations that the district
will have to rely more on property taxes to augment operating
performance, on a tax base that has experienced volatility within
the past five years, and remains susceptible to the oil and gas
industry.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE

Stabilized local economy with a return to meaningful assessed
valuation growth

Significant and sustained improvement in operating performance

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE

Further contraction in assessed values

Widening operating deficits materially reducing reserve levels

Reduced margins under operating tax cap

LEGAL SECURITY

The bonds are secured by a direct and continuing ad valorem tax,
levied on all taxable property in the district, within the limits
prescribed by law.

USE OF PROCEEDS

LEON RAMIREZ: Seeks to Compromise Second Lien Note Payment
----------------------------------------------------------
Leon Oscar Ramirez Jr. and Rosalinda Eckhardt ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to authorize it
and Cheetah Rentals, LLC to compromise the payment of the second
lien note by discounting it to $1 million.

A hearing on the Motion is set for Jan. 4, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.
Objections, if any, must be submitted within 21 days of the date
the Motion was served.

On Jan. 30, 2013, the Debtors Leon Oscar Ramirez and Rosalinda
Echkardt, as successors in interest to an entity named Gateway
Truck Terminal I, LTD., sold to Cheetah Rentals, real estate in
Laredo, Texas and took as consideration a second real estate lien
note in the original amount of $1,257,717.  They retained a
vendor's lien, superior title and a deed of trust lien on the
property. The first lien was held by Falcon National Bank as
security for a note from Gateway Truck, dated July 26, 2002 in the
original principal amount of $835,000.  At the time of the sale,
the approximate balance on the 2002 note was around $375,000.  The
2002 note was modified and extended twice, once in August 2009 and
again in November 2012.

Cheeta Rentals assumed the obligations under the 2002 note and deed
of trust securing it, as well as the terms of the modifications and
extensions.  Today, the balance of the first lien note is
approximately $117,000.

The Debtors and Cheetah Rentals desire to compromise the payment of
the second lien note by discounting it to $1 million, payment of
which will be made in one-time payment if the Court approves the
agreement, within 90 days after approval.  The present payoff is
approximately $1,412,000.  The "An Agreement to Modify" outlines
the terms and conditions of the compromise.

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

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/Leon_Ramirez_236_Sales.pdf

The asset in the form of a promissory note is disclosed in Schedule
B, No. 18, in the schedules filed for Debtor Ramirez, and in
Schedule A/B, Part 4, No. 28, in the schedules filed for Debtor
Eckhardt.  The Debtors would now ask that they permitted to
discount the remaining balance on the note for $1 million, which is
somewhat less than the amount currently owed to the Debtors.  

The reason for the discount is that the business is operating as a
loss and no buyer can be found by Cheetah Rentals for a price
sufficient to pay off the outstanding debt owed to the Debtors and
Falcon National Bank.  The other reason is that the principals of
Cheetah Rental have represented are in a position to obtain the
financing required to pay-off the note.  Moreover, the bankruptcy
estate is in dire need of the cash infusion to effectuate a
reorganization.

Cheetah Rentals already assumed all liability owed to Falcon
National Bank.  The Debtor, subject to any alleged lien on
personalty asserted by the IRS, agrees to place all proceeds into
the registry of the court, and which cannot be withdrawn without
order of the
Court.

The Debtors ask that the Court enters an Order approving the sale
of the promissory note and allowing the proceeds be placed in the
registry of the Court.

LEVERETTE TILE: Has Final Authority to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Catherine Peek McEwen of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Middle District of Florida has entered a final order authorizing
Leverette Tile, Inc., d/b/a Leverette Home Design Center, to use
cash collateral in the regular course of its business.

The Debtor may use cash collateral to pay: (a) amounts expressly
authorized by the Court, including payment to the U.S. Trustee for
quarterly fees; (b) the current and necessary expenses set forth in
the Budget, plus an amount not to exceed 10% for each line item;
and (c) such additional amounts as may be expressly approved in
writing by the Secured Creditors.

The secured creditors in this case are: (a) Colonial Funding
Network, Inc. as servicing provider for Platinum Rapid Funding
Group; (b) American Express Bank, FSB; and Funding Circle.

The Debtor will pay monthly adequate protection payments to Secured
Creditors by paying monthly interest only payments at 4% per annum
on the principal balance owed on the last day of each month as
follows:

     (a) Colonial Funding is owed approximately $164,378, therefore
the monthly interest only payment is $548;

     (b) American Express is owed approximately $124,381, therefore
the monthly interest only payment is $415;

     (c) Funding Circle is owed approximately $351,958, therefore
the monthly interest only payment is $1,173; and

     (d) The Internal Revenue Service is owed approximately

OASIS PETROLEUM: S&P Affirms B+ CCR on Delaware Basin Acquisition
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B+' corporate credit rating on
Houston, Texas-based oil and gas exploration and production company
Oasis Petroleum Inc. The rating outlook is stable.

S&P said, "We also affirmed our 'BB-' issue-level rating on the
company's senior unsecured debt. The recovery rating remains '2',
indicating our expectation of substantial (70% to 90%; rounded
estimate: 85%) recovery in the event of a payment default."

The rating affirmation follows the company's announcement that it
has agreed to acquire about 20,000 net acres in the Delaware Basin
in West Texas from Forge Energy, an Encap Investments L.P. and Pine
Brook Partners LLC portfolio company. Oasis will finance the $946
million acquisition with about 80% equity and 20% from its credit
facility ($333 million drawn as of Nov. 30, 2017), thereby
maintaining appropriate credit measures for the rating. The
acquisition improves geographic diversity by adding a new region to
Oasis' portfolio, which had been exclusively focused on the Bakken
shale in North Dakota, but adds the operational risk of
establishing infrastructure and developing a new area. The company
paid approximately $38,000 per acre (excludes proved developed
producing reserve value of $170 million), reflecting competition in
the very active Permian Basin, and Oasis' late entry to the play.


S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Oasis
will be able to maintain FFO/debt in the 15% to 20% range over the
next two years. In particular, we expect the company will grow
production near 20% year over year in 2018, while increasing
capital spending over $700 million to develop legacy assets in the
Williston Basin and the newly acquired assets from the Delaware
Basin.

"We could lower the ratings if we expected FFO/debt to fall below
12% for a prolonged period. This would most likely be due to a
weakening in oil prices, lower-than-expected production or
higher-than-expected capital spending.

"We could consider an upgrade if we forecasted FFO/debt to increase
and remain well above 20% on a sustained basis, along with
improvement in production growth, geographical diversity, or
profitability. This would most likely occur if Oasis demonstrated
successful development of the newly acquired Delaware Basin assets
while continuing to improve efficiency and grow production in its
core area of Williston Basin."


P3 FOODS: Okayed to Use Cash Collateral Until Jan. 10
-----------------------------------------------------
Judge Donald R. Cassling of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Illinois has entered 14th and 15th interim
orders authorizing P3 Foods, LLC, to the use of collateral and
expenditure of cash collateral in which PNC Equipment Finance, LLC,
claims an interest.

Pursuant to the 14th Interim Order, the Court approved the Debtor's
use of approximately $1,082,184 in cash through Dec. 6, 2017.

The 15th Interim Order authorizes the Debtor to use cash of
$1,039,366 during the period from Dec. 7, 2017 through Jan. 10,
2018.

In consideration of and as adequate protection for any diminution
in the value of PNC Equipment's cash and non-cash collateral
arising from the Debtor's use of cash collateral:

     (a) PNC Equipment is granted post-petition replacement liens,
to the same extent and with the same priority it held pre-petition
on the same type of assets. Such adequate protection liens will be
a valid, perfected, first priority lien in favor of PNC Equipment
against all pre-petition and post-petition assets of the Debtor of
the same kind and type and to the same extent and priority as
existed as of the Petition Date;

     (b) The Debtor will maintain all necessary insurance as may be
currently in effect, and obtain such additional insurance in an
amount as is appropriate for the business in which the Debtor is
engaged;

     (c) PNC Equipment will have the right to inspect the
collateral or the assets subject to its Adequate Protection Liens
as well as the Debtor's books and records; and

     (d) The Debtor will make an adequate protection payment to PNC
Equipment in the amount of $16,428.

In addition, 20/20 Franchise Funding and Leaf Capital Funding are
each granted with a postpetition replacement lien, to the same
extent and with the same priority as they respectively held
prepetition on the same type of assets.

In addition, on or before Jan. 15, 2018, the Debtor will make these
adequate protection payments to its secured creditors:

     (a) 20/20 Franchise Funding LLC in the amount of $4,835; and

     (b) Leaf Capital Funding in the amount of $797.

The Debtor's Motion for use of cash collateral is continued for a
hearing on Jan. 9, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.

PEOPLE'S COMMUNITY: Trustee Selling MCHS/MCHS-GP Equity Interests
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Charles R. Goldstein, the Liquidating Trustee of the estate of The
People's Community Health Centers, Inc., asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Maryland to authorize the sale of the
Debtor's equity interests in Maryland Community Health System, LLLP
("MCHS") and MCHS, Inc.("MCHS-GP") to MCHS and MCHS-GP for $4.2
million.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtor was one of eight limited
partners holding a 12.5% limited partner interest in MCHS.  The
Debtor ceased all health care operations approximately six months
prior to the Petition Date.

The principal assets of MCHS are a 50% shareholder interest in
Priority Partners Managed Care Organization, Inc. ("Priority
Partners MCO") and a related contract right to receive the payment,
with the other 50% interest owned by John Hopkins Healthcare, LLC
("JHHC").  Priority Partners MCO is a managed care organization
implemented under the Maryland Mandatory Medicaid Managed Care
Program.

Pursuant to an agreement between MCHS and JHHC, MCHS is paid 1% of
the Gross Capitation Rates received by Priority Partners MCO each
month.  MCHS distributes this income to its limited partners on a
monthly basis.  The Debtor's share of such revenue is presently
$72,000 per month.

The Debtor is also a 12.5% shareholder in MCHS-GP ("Shareholder
Interest").  MCHS-GP is the general partner of MCHS and receives no
income from the partnership.  There is no appraisal of the value of
the Partnership Interest and Shareholder Interest ("Property"). The
Debtor listed the value of the Partnership Interest as "unknown" on
Amended Schedule B filed in the bankruptcy case on July 27, 2015.

The only known liens on or against the Property that existed as of
the Petition Date were held by the IRS and Branch Banking and Trust
Company.  Such liens have been (or will be by the date of the
hearing on this Motion) fully satisfied by the Trustee making
monthly payments and payment of the proceeds of sale of other
property of the Debtor.

On Nov. 14, 2017, the Trustee, as the Seller, and MCHS and MCHS-GP
as the Buyers, executed a Purchase and Redemption Agreement for the
purchase of the Property.  The purchase price for the Property is
$4.2 million minus the amount of any distributions received by the
Trustee after the Payment Suspension Date.

Section 6 of the Agreement contains a financing contingency.
Section 7 provides that once the Buyers deliver to the Trustee a
copy of a Financing Commitment that has been accepted by them, the
Trustee will cease to attend meetings, vote or otherwise
participate in the management or governance of the Buyers.  In
addition, effective as the first day of the month immediately
following the month in which the Buyers accept a Financing
Commitment, they may suspend the monthly distributions.  In the
event the Agreement does not close by the Outside Date, the
Suspended Payments will be paid to the Trustee and he may again
participate in the Buyers' affairs.

The Agreement provides for a Mutual General Release between the
parties to the Agreement.  In that regard, the Trustee is unaware
of any claim that the estate has against the Buyers.  A condition
of the Agreement is that the Court enters an Order approving the
purchase and redemption transaction contemplated by the Agreement
and providing that the Property when purchased and redeemed will be
free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other
interests.

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

    http://bankrupt.com/misc/The_Peoples_474_Sales.pdf

It is the Trustee's business judgment the sale of the Property
pursuant to the Agreement is in the best interest of creditors and
will provide for the highest possible distribution to creditors
within a reasonable period of time.  Accordingly, he asks the Court
to approve the relief sought.

The Debtor also asks a waiver of the 14-day stay pursuant to
Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) to expedite the sale.

The Buyers:

          Sallian Alborn, CEO
          MARYLAND COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEM, LLP
          MCHS, INC.
          5850 Waterloo Road, Suite 140
          Columbia, MD 21045

The Buyers are represented by:

          Lawrence D. Coppel, Esq.
          GORDON FEINBLATT, LLC
          233 East Redwood Street
          Baltimore, MD 21202

                       About the Debtor
    
The People's Community Health Centers, Inc., formerly known as
Medhealth of Maryland, Inc., is a health care business based at
1734 Maryland Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland.

People's Community Health Centers sought Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. D. Md. Case No. 15-10228) on Jan. 7, 2015, disclosing
assets at $3.04 million and liabilities at $6.73 million.  William
A. Green, managing agent, signed the petition.

The Debtor tapped Michael Stephen Myers, Esq., at Scarlett, Croll &
Myers, P.A., as counsel.

                          *     *     *

On Nov. 13, 2015, the Court approved the Plan of Liquidation
proposed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

Pursuant to the Plan, Charles R. Goldstein was appointed as
liquidating trustee to liquidate the assets of the Debtor and to
pay the proceeds of the assets in accordance with the Plan and
applicable priorities.


PHILADELPHIA HEALTH: SSG Acted as Investment Banker in Asset Sale
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SSG Capital Advisors, LLC, acted as the investment banker to North
Philadelphia Health System in the sale of substantially all of its
assets to an affiliate of Iron Stone Partners ("Iron Stone").  The
sale was effectuated through a Chapter 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363 process
in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania.  The sale transaction closed in November 2017 to be
followed by a plan of reorganization for NPHS.

Based in Philadelphia, PA, NPHS provides mental health and
substance addiction treatment services and special programs for
patients with behavioral medical disorders and/or extended acute
medical conditions. Services include outpatient counseling for
alcohol and drug use, a detoxification and rehabilitation unit and
several specialized inpatient programs.  In addition, NPHS operates
the Goldman Clinic, which provides methadone treatment to up to 700
individuals daily.  These services are offered through the
Hospital's Girard facility, a licensed 65-bed psychiatric hospital
which traces its roots back to 1896.

The Hospital is heavily dependent on Pennsylvania Medicaid
reimbursements.  Supplemental funding ceased at the end of 2015 and
NPHS was forced to close its St. Joseph's Hospital ("SJH") facility
in March 2016.  In addition to being burdened with overhead that
was previously supporting a larger organization, the Hospital had
seen general cost increases over the years that were not
accompanied by adequate amendments to its per diem reimbursement
rates.  Amid its large debt load while also facing constrained
liquidity from SJH closing costs and ongoing operational losses,
the Hospital filed for Chapter 11 protection at the end of December
2016 to preserve its operations.

SSG was retained as investment banker to NPHS in April 2017 to
pursue strategic alternatives including a sale of the Hospital.
SSG's sale process attracted significant interest and multiple
offers from both real estate investors and healthcare providers.
The robust process ultimately resulted in a competitive auction
process where a bid from an affiliate of Iron Stone was determined
to be the highest and best offer for substantially all of the
Hospital's assets.  Iron Stone partnered with Community Behavioral
Health and the City of Philadelphia under a new lease in order to
continue operations at the Hospital with NPHS as the operator.  As
a result, the Hospital will continue to operate its Girard facility
as a going concern, preserving jobs and providing its valuable
medical services to patients in the Philadelphia region.

Iron Stone Partners is a real estate private equity firm located in
Philadelphia that has a niche focus on value added real estate
assets, the acquisition of real estate related operating companies
and the assumption of mortgage notes.

SCIQUEST INC: Moody's Assigns B3 CFR & Rates 1st Lien Debt B3
-------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service assigned a B3 Corporate Family Rating to
SciQuest, Inc. and a B3 to its proposed first lien debt facilities.
The facilities will be used to refinance existing debt and fund the
acquisition of BravoSolution S.p.A.. The ratings outlook is
stable.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B3 CFR reflects SciQuest's high leverage, modest scale, and
integration challenges related to the BravoSolution acquisition.
The company's modest scale is offset somewhat by the company's
strong niche position as a provider of cloud based integrated
eProcurement, eSourcing and spend management solutions
(collectively "ePurchasing"). Leverage at close of the
BravoSolution acquisition is approximately 6x pro forma for
one-time costs and planned cost cuts, and over 9x excluding those
addbacks. While the company has built a strong niche position, the
company competes against significantly larger, better capitalized
players SAP (Ariba) and Oracle as well as numerous niche
ePurchasing players.

The acquisition will broaden SciQuest's suite of ePurchasing
software, adding BravoSolution's well positioned eSourcing line and
will bring a significant European customer base. The acquisition
will also nearly double SciQuest's size. Accordingly, the
integration and reorganization is somewhat complex. The integration
risk is somewhat mitigated by the SciQuest team's previous success
with several smaller acquisitions, however, none were of this
relative scale. If the company is able to integrate the two
businesses without adverse effect, non-adjusted leverage could
decline to 6x over the next 12 to 18 months.

The ratings could be upgraded if the company integrates
BravoSolution with minimal disruption, leverage is expected to
remain below 6x and free cash flow to debt is greater than 5%. The
ratings could be downgraded if performance is materially impaired,
Debt/EBITDA leverage remains above7.5x or free cash flow is
expected to remain negative on other than a temporary basis.

Liquidity is considered adequate based on cash at close of
approximately $11 million, an undrawn $25 million revolver and
positive free cash flow over the next year.

The following ratings were assigned:

Assignments:

Issuer: SciQuest, Inc.

-- Corporate Family Rating, Assigned B3

-- Probability of Default Rating, Assigned B3-PD

-- Senior Secured 1st lien Bank Credit Facility, Assigned B3
    (LGD4)

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Software
Industry published in December 2015.

SciQuest, Inc. (dba Jaggaer), is a leading provider of eProcurement
software solutions. SciQuest is owned by funds affiliated with
Accel-KKR. Revenues, including BravoSolution's were under $250
million.


SEARS HOLDINGS: Extends $400M 2018 Term Loan Facility to 2019
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sears Holdings Corporation has entered into an agreement to extend
the maturity of its existing term loan, which originally was to
mature in June 2018, to January 2019, with the option to further
extend the maturity to July 2019.  During the fourth quarter, the
Company paid down the Term Loan by $325 million, reducing the
outstanding balance to approximately $400 million and bringing its
total Term Loan repayment during 2017 to approximately $570
million.

In addition, the Company announced it intends to obtain a new
secured credit facility in connection with the agreement reached
with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation on Nov. 7, 2017 that
provides for the release of 138 of its properties from a ring-fence
arrangement with the PGBC.  The Secured Credit Facility is expected
to be secured by such properties and consist of an approximately
$407 million (net of associated costs) first lien tranche and a
second lien tranche of up to $200 million.  The Company intends to
use the net proceeds from the Secured Credit Facility to fund the
payment of approximately $407 million into the Sears pension plans
and for general corporate purposes. Following the funding of the
$407 million pension contribution, Holdings will be relieved of the
obligation to make further contributions to the pension plans for
approximately two years (other than a $20 million supplemental
payment due in Q2 2018). Holdings expects to repay the Secured
Credit Facility over time with the proceeds from sales of the
underlying properties.

"As indicated in our third quarter earnings announcement, we have
taken further action to provide the Company with additional
financial flexibility as we enter 2018," said Rob Riecker, Sears
Holdings' chief financial officer.  "The extension of the Term Loan
improves our short-term debt maturity profile, while the credit
facility associated with the PBGC agreement will support our
continued commitment to the Company's pension plans while enhancing
our financial flexibility."

"Looking ahead, we continue to explore alternatives with respect to
our debt maturities to meaningfully reduce cash interest payments
and provide the Company greater flexibility.  In addition to the
liquidity actions announced today, we remain focused on improving
our performance by diversifying the Company's revenue streams
through third-party partnerships for several of our businesses;
developing new ways to leverage our innovative Shop Your Way
platform to better invest marketing dollars at the member level;
and maintaining extreme cost discipline in light of continued
headwinds across the retail sector," concluded Mr. Riecker.

The Company engaged Bank of America Merrill Lynch to arrange the
Term Loan extension.  In addition, Holdings has retained UBS
Investment Bank as its financial advisor for the Secured Credit
Facility.  The completion of the Secured Credit Facility is subject
to obtaining lender commitments, as well as market and other
conditions.

                       About Sears Holdings

Based in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, Sears Holdings Corporation
(NASDAQ: SHLD) -- http://www.searsholdings.com/-- is an integrated
retailer focused on seamlessly
connecting the digital and physical shopping experiences to serve
its members.  Sears Holdings is home to Shop Your Way, a social
shopping platform offering members rewards for shopping at Sears
and Kmart, as well as with other retail partners across categories
important to them.  The Company operates through its subsidiaries,
including Sears, Roebuck and Co. and Kmart Corporation, with
full-line and specialty retail stores across the United States.

Sears Holdings reported a net loss of $2.22 billion on $22.13
billion of revenues for the fiscal year 2016, compared to a net
loss of $1.12 billion on $25.14 billion of revenues for the fiscal
year 2015.

As of Oct. 28, 2017, Sears Holdings had $8.19 billion in total
assets, $12.20 billion in total liabilities and a total deficit of
$4 billion.

                          *     *     *

In January 2017, Fitch Ratings affirmed the Long-term Issuer
Default Ratings (IDR) on Sears Holdings and its various subsidiary
entities at 'CC'.

As reported by the TCR on Nov. 3, 2017, S&P Global Ratings lowered
its corporate credit rating on Sears Holdings Corp. to 'CCC' from
'CCC+'.  The outlook is negative.  "The downgrade reflects our view
that addressing 2018 maturities over upcoming quarters will
determine if the company can continue its turnaround plan without
seeking a broader restructuring," S&P said.

In November 2017, Moody's Investors Service downgraded Sears
Holdings Corp.'s Corporate Family Rating to 'Caa3' from 'Caa2'.
Sears' Caa3 rating reflects the company's sizable operating losses
- Domestic Adjusted EBITDA was an estimated loss of approximately
$625 million for the LTM period ending  Oct. 28, 2017.


SEVEN GENERATIONS: Moody's Alters Outlook to Pos. & Affirms Ba2 CFR
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service changed Seven Generations Energy Ltd.'s
(7G) outlook to positive from stable. Moody's also affirmed its Ba2
Corporate Family Rating (CFR), Ba2-PD Probability of Default Rating
and Ba3 senior unsecured notes rating. The Speculative Grade
Liquidity Rating was downgraded to SGL-2 from SGL-1.

"The change in outlook to positive reflects the continued
successful execution on production and reserves growth, and
maintenance of solid credit and efficiency metrics," said Paresh
Chari, Moody's AVP-Analyst.

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Seven Generations Energy Ltd.

-- Outlook, Changed To Positive From Stable

Affirmations:

Issuer: Seven Generations Energy Ltd.

-- Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed Ba2-PD

-- Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed Ba2

-- Senior Unsecured Regular Bond/Debenture, Affirmed Ba3 (LGD-4)

Downgrades:

Issuer: Seven Generations Energy Ltd.

-- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Downgraded to SGL-2 from
    SGL-1

RATINGS RATIONALE

7G's Ba2 CFR is supported by its robust leverage (55% retained cash
flow/debt in 2018 and 2019), consistent growth in production
(Moody's expects 2018 to be about 195,000 boe/d and 2019 to be
220,000 boe/d net of royalties) with excellent execution on
development demonstrated by its significant growth since 2013, a
sizeable reserves base (720 million boe proved), reduced exposure
to lower-priced Alberta natural gas market due to its robust
marketing strategy, and its high condensate-rich natural gas wells
that lead to solid margins. 7G's rating is constrained by its
concentration in a single field and a single formation (Montney),
with high corporate decline rates (about 35% to 40%), large proved
undeveloped reserve base that requires significant capex to
increase production and maintain reserve booking, and a short
proved developed reserve life compared to its peers.

7G's SGL-2 reflects good liquidity. At September 30, 2017, 7G had
C$219 million of cash and undrawn C$1.4 billion revolving credit
facility due June 2021. Moody's expect negative free cash flow of
about C$500 million through 2018. 7G's senior notes mature in 2023
and 2025. Alternate liquidity is somewhat limited given that
substantially all of the company's assets are pledged to the
secured revolver.

In accordance with Moody's Loss Given Default (LGD) methodology,
the senior unsecured notes are rated Ba3, one notch below the Ba2
CFR because of the existence of the prior ranking C$1.4 billion
secured revolver.

The positive outlook reflects Moody's view that 7G's proved
developed reserve life will increase, leverage and interest
coverage will remain strong, and the company will continue to grow
production.

The ratings could be upgraded if proved developed reserve life
moves towards 5 years (2.6 years at Q3/2017) and production is
sustained above 175,000 boe/d (158,000 boe/d at LTM Q3/2017), while
maintaining retained cash flow to debt above 40% (51% at Q3/2017)
and LFCR above 1x (1.8x at Q3/2017).

The ratings could be downgraded if retained cash flow to debt is
below 25% (51% at Q3/2017) or if production and reserves decline.

Seven Generations is a Calgary, Alberta-based exploration and
production (E&P) company that produced (net of royalties) about
180,000 boe/d for the quarter ending September 30, 2017 in the
Kakwa area in northwestern Alberta, focused on the Montney
formation.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Independent
Exploration and Production Industry published in May 2017.

SWEET BRIAR COLLEGE: S&P Hikes 2006 Revenue Bonds Rating to 'B+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its long- term rating to 'B+' from 'B' on
Amherst Industrial Development Authority, Va.'s series 2006
educational facilities revenue refunding bonds, issued for Sweet
Briar College. The outlook is stable. The rating upgrade reflects
our view of the college's new board and senior leadership team,
including a new president who officially took office in May 2017,
who have taken a number of actions to stabilize the college
following the previously announced closure of the college in March
2015. The 'B+' rating reflects our view of the college's:

Full establishment of a new management team and implementation of a
new strategic plan;

-- Financial operations that have remained relatively stable in
recent years, though mitigated by expectations that fiscal 2017
operating margins will be somewhat softer than recent levels; and

-- Sufficient available resources, with fiscal 2016 expendable
resources of approximately $37.4 million representing 108% of
operations and 156% of total outstanding debt.

The rating also reflects S&P's view of the following credit
weaknesses:

-- Considerably vulnerable enrollment and demand profile given the
school's current market position; and

-- Somewhat high MADS burden equal to 6.2% of fiscal 2016
operating expenses. An unconditional general obligation pledge of
the college secures all debt.


SWITCH LTD: Moody's Revises Outlook to Positive & Affirms B1 CFR
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service has changed the ratings outlook for
Switch, Ltd. to positive from stable based on the company's
improved financial position following the successful Initial Public
Offering (IPO) of its parent Switch, Inc. Moody's has affirmed
Switch's B1 corporate family rating (CFR), B1-PD probability of
default rating, and B1 (LGD3) senior secured debt rating. Moody's
also assigned a speculative grade liquidity rating of SGL-2,
indicating good liquidity.

On October 11, Switch Inc. completed its IPO and received $577.3
million in proceeds, net of underwriting and commissions.
Subsequent to the IPO, the company repaid the $231.3 million
outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility leaving
approximately $350 million in cash on its balance sheet. Leverage
has improved following the debt repayment, and Moody's now expects
leverage (Moody's adjusted) to approach 3x by FYE2019. Moody's
expects Switch to utilize its cash position for general corporate
purposes and working capital, including prefunding capital spending
required to grow the business. However, Moody's forecasts negative
free cash flow for at least the next two years due to the company's
high capital intensity required to support growth. Moody's expects
Switch's cash balances will be more than sufficient for at least
the next two years to fund its growth spending.

Assignments:

Issuer: Switch, Ltd.

-- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Assigned SGL-2

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Switch, Ltd.

-- Outlook, Changed To Positive From Stable

Affirmations:

Issuer: Switch, Ltd.

-- Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed B1-PD

-- Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed B1

-- Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility, Affirmed B1(LGD3)

RATINGS RATIONALE

Switch's B1 CFR reflects its strong growth profile and high margins
and the company's market position operating some of the world's
largest data centers providing retail colocation and
interconnection services. The rating is also supported by its good
liquidity position, growing base of contracted recurring revenues,
patent protected technology, innovative data center design concepts
and value proposition that differentiate it from competitors. In
addition, the company has a solid asset base relative to its debt
load and owns the majority of its assets, which should allow for
significant operating leverage as the business scales. These
factors are offset by the company's small scale, geographic
concentration, moderate leverage and negative free cash flow
resulting from the high capital intensity required to support
growth. Moody's expects Switch to have negative free cash flow for
at least the next two years due to the capital investments to
support growth.

Moody's has assigned an SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating on
Switch primarily supported by its large cash balances and fully
available $500 million revolver despite an expectation of
substantially negative free cash flow. As of September 30, 2017,
Switch had $8 million cash on hand. Pro-forma for the IPO proceeds
and revolver paydown in October, Moody's estimates Switch's cash
balance increased by $346 million. Moody's anticipates the company
will rely upon its large cash balances to finance its free cash
flow deficit for the next 12-18 months. Moody's expects capital
spending will be over 80% of revenues for 2017, falling towards 60%
in 2018. However, Moody's notes that if liquidity becomes strained,
Switch can pull back on growth capital spending and estimates that
maintenance capex is less than 5% of revenues. The company also has
a quarterly dividend and an annual cash tax distribution that
negatively impact free cash flow.

The positive outlook is based on Moody's expectation that Switch's
leverage (Moody's adjusted) will approach 3x and that the company
will manage its capital program and liquidity prudently.

The B1 rating could be upgraded if leverage was sustained below
4.5x (Moody's adjusted) and free cash flow was positive, both on a
sustainable basis. The rating could be downgraded if liquidity
deteriorates or if leverage is sustained above 5.5x (Moody's
adjusted). Also, the ratings could face pressure if the company
engages in shareholder friendly activity that pressures its credit
metrics or liquidity.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Communications
Infrastructure Industry published in September 2017.

TSC/GREEN ACRES: Seeks Approval of Deal Restricting Cash Use
------------------------------------------------------------
TSC/Green Acres Road, LLC and Merritt Lending, LLC, have reached an
agreement prohibiting the Debtor's use of cash collateral,
effective as of November 29, 2017.  TSC/Green Acres now asks the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland to approve its
stipulation with Merritt Lending and enter the consent order
regarding the use of cash collateral.

The Debtor represents that its assets, including cash, are subject
to the lien of Merritt Lending LLC.  As of Sept. 22, 2017, the
asserted aggregate principal indebtedness outstanding and owed to
Merritt Lending by the Debtor pursuant to the Loan Documents was
$1,086,313, exclusive of attorneys' fees and auctioneer fees.

The Debtor is expressly prohibited from using any profits,
offspring and/or proceeds of the Collateral that constitute
property of the Debtor's bankruptcy estate pursuant to Section 541
of the Bankruptcy Code.  This prohibition will cover the period
commencing Nov. 29, 2017 and will continue past Dec. 31, 2017 until
the Court enters an order granting any subsequent motion the Debtor
may file seeking use of cash collateral, which such motion may not
seek use of cash collateral prior to Jan. 15, 2018.

The Debtor's unauthorized use of Cash Collateral will result in the
Merritt Lending's right to seek, and the Debtor's waiver of any
right to contest, retrospective adequate protection with respect to
any diminution of its value in the Cash Collateral, including but
not limited to Merritt Lending's application for adequate
protection payments; replacement liens in favor of Merritt Lending
to the same extent, validity and priority as its liens as of the
Petition Date; and a super-priority administrative claim in favor
of Industrial to the extent of any diminution of the Cash
Collateral.

UNIVERSAL HOSPITAL: Moody's Affirms B2 CFR; Outlook Remains Stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service affirmed Universal Hospital Services,
Inc.'s Corporate Family Rating at B2 and its Probability of Default
Rating at B2-PD. Moody's also affirmed the B3 (LGD 4) rating
assigned to the company's senior secured notes due 2020 and the
company's SGL-2 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating. The rating
outlook is stable.

The affirmation of UHS' ratings reflects Moody's view that UHS will
continue to successfully execute its strategy to cross-sell its
suite of service offerings to customers across its rental, on-site
managed services, and clinical engineering businesses. These
services enable the company's customers, primarily acute hospitals,
to manage their medical equipment needs more efficiently. Moody's
expects successful execution of this strategy will result in
continued improvement in operating margins and reduction in capital
expenditures as a percentage of sales. The affirmation also
reflects the risk of shareholder friendly actions given UHS'
ownership by private equity sponsors and Moody's expectation that
debt/EBITDA will remain above five times.

The following ratings were affirmed:

Outlook Actions:

Issuer: Universal Hospital Services, Inc.

-- Outlook, Remains Stable

Affirmations:

Issuer: Universal Hospital Services, Inc.

-- Probability of Default Rating, Affirmed B2-PD

-- Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating, Affirmed SGL-2

-- Corporate Family Rating, Affirmed B2

-- Senior Secured Notes, Affirmed B3 (LGD4)

RATINGS RATIONALE

UHS's B2 Corporate Family Rating reflects the company's high
leverage with debt/EBITDA expected to remain in excess of five
times over the next 12 to 18 months. The ratings also reflect the
company's moderate scale, with revenues slightly in excess of $500
million and limited free cash flow given its high (though
declining, as a percentage of revenue) capital expenditure
requirements. The ratings benefit from the company's national
footprint, the diversity of its customer base and the breadth of
products and services it offers to meet its client's needs. The
ratings also benefit from the company's good liquidity profile with
ample available liquidity under its asset based revolving credit
facility.

The stable rating outlook reflects Moody's views that the company
will continue to successfully execute its growth strategy which
will result in improved operating margins and free cash flow over
time. Moody's expects leverage will improve, primarily due to
earnings growth, but will remain above five times for at least the
next 12 to 18 months.

Ratings could be upgraded if the company continues to improve
performance such that debt/EBITDA is sustained below five times and
free cash flow to debt rises above 5% while maintaining a good
liquidity profile.

Ratings could be downgraded if weakening operating trends, or
material debt-financed acquisitions or shareholder distributions
result in debt/EBITDA that is sustained above 6 times. Ratings
could be downgraded if the company's liquidity profile were to
erode.

Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN Universal Hospital Services, Inc.
is a nationwide provider of health care technology management and
service solutions. UHS owns or manages more than 700,000 units of
medical equipment for more than 7,000 national, regional and local
acute care hospitals and alternate site providers across the U.S.
Revenues exceed $500 million.

UTEX INDUSTRIES: Moody's Hikes CFR to Caa1; Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Investors Service upgraded UTEX Industries, Inc.'s
Corporate Family Rating (CFR) to Caa1 from Caa2, Probability of
Default Rating (PDR) to Caa1-PD from Caa2-PD and first lien debt
facilities to B3 from Caa1. Concurrently, UTEX's second lien term
loan was affirmed at Caa3. The rating outlook is stable.

"The rating upgrade is driven by UTEX's EBITDA and key credit
metrics improving from weak levels, due to the strengthening demand
and margins for UTEX's products used in hydraulic fracturing
services as upstream companies intensify their drilling
activities," said Amol Joshi, Moody's Vice President.

Issuer: UTEX Industries, Inc.

Upgrades:

-- Corporate Family Rating, Upgraded to Caa1 from Caa2

-- Probability of Default Rating, Upgraded to Caa1-PD from Caa2-
    PD

-- First lien revolving facility due 2019 Upgraded to B3 (LGD3)
    from Caa1 (LGD3)

-- First lien term loan due 2021 Upgraded to B3 (LGD3) from Caa1
    (LGD3)

Affirmations:

Second lien term loan due 2022 Affirmed at Caa3 (LGD5)

Outlook Actions:

-- Outlook, remains Stable

RATINGS RATIONALE

UTEX's Caa1 CFR reflects its small size, heavy debt burden and weak
credit metrics. At the same time, UTEX's revenues and EBITDA
continue to rebound from weak levels, leading to an expected
improvement in its credit metrics into 2018. The company's
performance is highly tied to rig activity in the US and is
dependent on upstream capital budgets. As the US rig count has
risen significantly after bottoming in mid-2016, UTEX has seen a
meaningful demand growth for its products. UTEX's exposure to
drilling and completions has increased profitability since
bottoming in 2016, from a combination of operating leverage and
manufacturing efficiencies with higher volumes from its customers.
UTEX EBITDA margins have improved significantly and its revenues
are returning to 2014 levels. While UTEX has adequate liquidity
through 2018, the company is expected to have increased working
capital requirements due to improved business conditions. UTEX
benefits from a low maintenance capital requirement, as well as not
having maintenance financial covenants that test unless revolver
usage exceeds $15 million.

UTEX's first lien credit facility is rated B3, one notch above the
Caa1 CFR, reflecting the facility's first lien position in the
priority of claim waterfall supported by junior debt cushion from
the second lien term loan. The first lien credit facility is
comprised of a revolving credit facility and a first lien term
loan. The Caa3 rating of the second lien term loan incorporates its
subordination to UTEX's first lien debt as well as its size
relative to the company's overall liability structure.

UTEX has adequate liquidity, supported by its cash balance and
Moody's expectation of improving cash flows into 2018. In November
2017, UTEX completed the acquisition of Energy Products LLC (EPI),
a distributor of pressure pumping products. UTEX funded the
acquisition primarily through an incremental first lien term loan
of $67 million, supplemented with some balance sheet cash and
equity. Pro forma for funding the EPI acquisition, UTEX had about
$13 million of cash as of September 30, 2017. Moody's expect modest
capital expenditure requirements, but working capital needs will
use some cash as improved upstream activity increases revenues from
relatively low levels. The company has a $50 million revolving
credit facility which matures in May 2019. However. the revolver
includes a springing first lien secured leverage ratio of 7.0 times
that comes into effect if usage under the facility exceeds 30%.
While the company's effective revolver availability has been
covenant-restricted to $15 million, revolver availability will
likely improve with increasing EBITDA in 2018. Until that happens,
Moody's expect the company to manage its revolver borrowings under
the $15 million threshold and fund itself primarily from internally
generated cash. The company has no near-term maturities except for
its revolver maturing in May 2019, and minimal first lien term loan
amortization ($4.75 million per annum).

The stable outlook reflects expectations of adequate liquidity and
improving credit metrics through 2018.

Ratings could be upgraded if the demand for hydraulic fracturing
services remains strong and improving cash flows reduce
Debt-to-EBITDA towards 4x. Maintaining adequate liquidity will also
be required for ratings to be upgraded.

Ratings could be downgraded if liquidity weakens with negative free
cash flow generation or if debt is purchased in the open market at
steep discounts to par value. EBITDA-to-interest falling below 1.5x
could also result in ratings being downgraded.

UTEX Industries, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a
designer and manufacturer of highly engineered specialty sealing
and down-hole products primarily for the oil and gas industry. UTEX
was acquired by affiliates of Riverstone Holdings LLC in April
2013. In November 2017, UTEX completed the acquisition of Energy
Products LLC, a distributor of pressure pumping products.

VWR CORP: S&P Withdraws 'B' CCR Amid Avantor Acquisition
--------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its corporate credit rating on VWR Corp.
to 'B' from 'BB-' and removed the rating from CreditWatch, where it
was placed with negative implications on May 8, 2017. The outlook
is stable.

S&P is subsequently withdrawing all of its ratings on the company
because all of VWR's debt has been redeemed.

The downgrade reflected Avantor Inc.'s acquisition of the company.
S&P affirmed its ratings, including the 'B' corporate credit
rating, on Avantor on Sept. 5, 2017, which incorporated the

S&P subsequently withdrew all of its ratings on VWR because all of
its debt has been redeemed.

                   About Westinghouse Electric

Westinghouse Electric Company LLC --
http://www.westinghousenuclear.com/-- is a U.S. based nuclear
power company founded in 1999 that provides design work and
start-up help for new nuclear power plants and makes many of the
components.  Westinghouse manufactures and supplies the commercial
fuel products needed to run the plants, and it offers training,
engineering, maintenance, and quality management services.  Almost
50% of nuclear power plants around the world and about 60% of U.S.
plants are based on Westinghouse's technology.  Westinghouse's
world headquarters are located in the Pittsburgh suburb of
Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania.

On Oct. 16, 2006, Westinghouse Electric was sold for $5.4 billion
to a group comprising of Toshiba (77% share), partners The Shaw
Group (20% share), and Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co.
Ltd. (3% share).  After purchasing part of Shaw's stake in 2013,
Japan-based conglomerate Toshiba obtained ownership of 87% of
Westinghouse.

Amid cost overruns at U.S. nuclear reactors it was building,
Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, along with 29 affiliates, filed
voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 17-10751) on March 29,
2017.  The petitions were signed by AlixPartners' Lisa J. Donahue,
chief transition and development officer.

The Debtors disclosed total assets of $4.32 billion and total
liabilities of $9.39 billion as of Feb. 28, 2017.

The Hon. Michael E. Wiles presides over the cases.

Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP serves as counsel to the Debtors.  The
Debtors hired AlixPartners LLP as financial advisor; PJT Partners
Inc. as investment banker; Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as
claims and noticing agent; K&L Gates as special counsel; and KPMG
LLP as tax consultant and accounting and financial reporting
advisor.

Toshiba Nuclear Energy Holdings (UK) Ltd. is represented by Albert
Togut, Esq., Brian F. Moore, Esq., and Kyle J. Ortiz, Esq., at
Togut, Segal & Segal LLP.

On April 7, 2017, the Office of the U.S. Trustee appointed an
official committee of unsecured creditors.  Proskauer Rose LLP is
the committee's bankruptcy counsel, and Houlihan Lokey Capital,
Inc., serves as its investment banker.

The Board of Directors of Westinghouse appointed a special panel
called the U.S. AP1000 Committee to oversee the company's
activities related to certain AP1000 nuclear plants located in
Georgia and South Carolina.


WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES: S&P Rates New $260MM Term Loan 'BB'
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB' issue-level rating and '2'
recovery rating to Forest City, Iowa-based Winnebago Industries
Inc.'s new $260 million senior secured term loan (issued by
wholly-owned subsidiary Octavius Corp. and guaranteed by
Winnebago). The company recently closed a repricing of its prior
$300 million senior secured term loan due in 2021 ($280 million
outstanding prior to the refinancing transaction) by issuing a new
$260 million term loan and drawing $19.7 million on its existing
unrated $125 million asset-based revolving credit facility (ABL).

The company used the proceeds to retire outstanding balances drawn
under the prior facility. S&P said, "Although the transaction is
leverage neutral, the 'BB' rating on the new term loan is higher
than the 'BB-' rating on the prior term loan because recovery
prospects improve for secured lenders due to a lower level of
assumed outstanding borrowings in our simulated default scenario.
This is because our recovery analysis already assumes that the ABL
is 60% drawn at default, so the lower term loan borrowings under
the new loan results in an assumed decrease in the estimate of
secured debt outstanding at default. The '2' recovery rating
reflects our expectation for substantial (70%-90%; rounded
estimate: 75%) recovery for lenders in the event of a default."

The 'BB-' corporate credit rating and stable outlook are unchanged.
S&P anticipates lower interest rates on the new loan would likely
improve EBITDA interest coverage under its base-case forecast for
2018 to above 8x from the mid-7x area.  

RECOVERY ANALYSIS

Key analytical factors

S&P said, "Our '2' recovery rating and 'BB' issue- level rating on
Winnebago's new senior secured term loan indicate our expectation
for substantial (70%-90%; rounded estimate: 75%) recovery for
investors in the event of a default. Our simulated default scenario
contemplates a default occurring in 2021, reflecting a substantial
decline in cash flow due to a prolonged economic downturn and
decline in consumer credit availability, the combination of which
significantly reduces demand for the company's RVs.

"We assume a reorganization following the default, using an
emergence EBITDA multiple of 6x to value the company, reflecting
Winnebago's iconic brand, which we believe warrants a better
multiple compared to other rated leisure manufacturers. We assume
that 60% of the unrated $125 million ABL is drawn at the time of
default.

Simplified waterfall

-- Emergence EBITDA: $49 million
-- Multiple: 6x
-- Gross recovery value: $292 million
-- Net enterprise value (after 5% admin. costs): $277 million
-- Obligor/nonobligor valuation split: 100%/0%
-- Estimated priority ABL claim: $77 million
-- Net enterprise value available to term loan lenders: $201
million
-- Estimated secured term loan claim: $255 million
    —Recovery expectations: 70% to 90% (rounded estimate: 75%)

XCELERATED LLC: Sets Bidding Procedures for All Assets
------------------------------------------------------
Xcelerated, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Kentucky to authorize the bidding procedures in
connection with the sale of substantially all assets to successful
bidder.

A hearing on the Motion is set for Dec. 21, 2017 at 9:00 a.m.
(ET).

The Debtor purchased its business from 621 Holdings, Inc., formerly
known as Xcelerated Investments, Inc. in exchange for $2,472,664,
which was fully financed by the Noteholder and which accrues
interest at a rate of 4% per annum.  Its obligation to the
Noteholder is reflected in the Promissory Note dated Oct. 31, 2015.
The Debtor's obligations to the Noteholder are secured by a lien
on its assets, but significantly, not on its cash or accounts
receivable.

The Note provides that the Debtor will satisfy its obligation to
the Noteholder in 35 equal monthly payments of $70,000 beginning on
Jan. 1, 2016 with a maturity date of Dec. 1, 2018.  As of the
Petition Date, the Debtor has an outstanding obligation to the
Noteholder in the amount of $2,472,506.

On the Petition Date, the Debtor filed its Initial Sale Motion,
which identified Direct Performance Data, Inc. as the stalking
horse
bidder.  Authenticom, Inc., an affiliate of the Noteholder and one
of the Debtor's largest unsecured creditors, as well as M1 Data and
Analytics, LLC objected to the Initial Sale Motion.  On July 13,
2017, at the continued hearing on the Sale Motion, the Debtor's
counsel informed the Court that the Debtor was negotiating with
these objecting creditors and Direct Performance Data, Inc. in an
attempt to arrive at agreeable sales procedures terms.

The Debtor subsequently learned that Authenticom and the Noteholder
had reached an agreement in principle to sell their claims against
the Debtor to M1, which intended to use such claims to acquire the
Debtor's business as a going-concern.  On July 28, 2017, the Debtor
thereafter filed its M1 Sale Motion seeking approval of the sale to
M1.  Unfortunately, the deal for the sale of the claims of
Authenticom and the Noteholder to M1 fell through on the eve of the
Aug. 2, 2017 hearing on the M1 Sale Motion.

The Debtor has since evaluated and considered all options for
reorganization and/or a sale, and has been in ongoing discussions
with creditors regarding potential options for resolving the
Chapter 11 Case.  As a result of those discussions, the Debtor now
seeks to pursue a sale of substantially all of its assets without
any stalking-horse bidder identified and a longer marketing
timeline in order to generate additional interest in the Debtor's
business.

The Debtor wishes to complete a Sale of substantially all of its
assets, which comprise, among other things, but not limited to the
following: all tangible assets, inventory, supplies,
specifications, equipment, work in progress, pending orders, the
DataVast application and database, all intellectual property,
software, telephone numbers, URLs, websites, domain names, the
Contracts, all deposits under contracts, all formulas, business
methodology, goodwill, client contact lists, client records and
files, names of the Debtor used in the Debtor's business, all
permits, licenses and prepaid expenses relating to the Purchased
Assets, and all other assets or business "know how" used in the
operation of the Business, wherever located, and all goodwill
associated with the Debtor's business and the Purchased Assets.
The Purchased Assets will be sold free and clear of any liens,
security interests, claims, charges or encumbrances.

In order to insure the highest and best offer for its assets, the
Debtor has developed the Bidding Procedures as a means of allowing
competitive bidding.

The salient terms of the Bidding Procedures are:

     a. Bid Deadline: March 14, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. (ET)

     b. Deposit: 10% of the cash amount of the Potential Bidder's
bid

     c. Auction: Subject to the Court's approval, the Auction will
take place March 19, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. (ET) at the offices of
Bingham Greenebaum Doll LLP, 3500 PNC Tower, 101 S. 5th Street,
Louisville, Kentucky.

     d. Closing: April 16, 2018

A copy of the Bidding Procedures attached to the Motion is
available for free at:

     http://bankrupt.com/misc/Xcelerated_LLC_105_Sales.pdf

The Debtor will ask the Court to authorize it to assume and assign
certain Contracts and Leases.  In the interim, the Debtor will
serve the Bid Procedures and the Cure Notice upon each counterparty
to the Assumed Executory Contracts by no later than seven days
following entry of the Bid Procedures Order.  The Cure Amount
Objection deadline is March 31, 2018.

The Debtor believes that the value its bankruptcy estate -- and,
thus, its creditors -- will receive for the Sale of the Purchase
Assets as a going concern exceeds any value its bankruptcy estate
could get for the Purchased Assets if the Debtor were required to
liquidate its assets piecemeal.  Accordingly, it asks the Court to
approve the relief sought.

The Debtor asks that the Court waives the 14-day stay period under
Bankruptcy Rules 6004(h) and 6006(d) or, in the alternative, if an
objection to the Sale is filed, reduce the stay period to the
minimum amount of time needed by the objecting party to file its
appeal.

The Debtor sought protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code (Bankr. E.D. Ky. Case No. 17-20886) on June 29, 2017.  Pam
Lang, its managing member, signed the petition.

At the time of the filing, the Debtor estimated assets of less than
$1 million and liabilities of $1 million to $10 million.

Bingham Greenebaum Doll LLP is the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel.

The Hon. Gregory R. Schaaf presides over the case.


YIELD10 BIOSCIENCE: Amends Prospectus on 808,080 Units Offering
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yield10 Bioscience, Inc., filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission an amended Form S-1 registration statement relating to
the offering of 808,080 Class A Units, with each Class A Unit
consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
and a warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of the Company's common stock
at an assumed public offering price of $1.98 per Class A Unit, the
last reported sale price of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital
Market on Dec. 6, 2017.  Each warrant included in the Class A Units
entitles its holder to purchase 0.5 shares of common stock (which
equates to 50% warrant coverage on the shares purchased in this
offering) at an exercise price per share of $[___].

The Company is also offering to those purchasers whose purchase of
its Class A Units in this offering would result in the purchaser,
together with its affiliates and certain related parties,
beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the
purchaser, 9.99%) of its outstanding common stock following the
consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if they
so choose, in lieu of the number of Class A Units that would result
in ownership in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the
purchaser, 9.99%), Class B Units.  Each Class B Unit will consist
of one share of its Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per
share, convertible into 505 shares of common stock and 253 warrants
to purchase shares of its common stock at a public offering price
of $1,000 per Class B Unit.  Each warrant included in the Class B
Units entitles its holder to purchase a number of shares equal to
50% of the common stock underlying each share of Series A Preferred
Stock at an exercise price per share of
$[____].  Based on the last reported sale price of the Company's
Common Stock of $1.98 per share, the Series A Preferred Stock
included in the Class B Units will be convertible into an aggregate
total of 3,232,323 shares of Common Stock and the Warrants included
in the Class B Units will be exercisable for an aggregate total of
1,616,161 shares of Common Stock.

The Class A Units and Class B Units have no stand-alone rights and
will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities.  The
shares of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock and warrants
comprising such units are immediately separable and will be issued
separately in this offering.  The underwriters have the option to
purchase additional shares of common stock and/or warrants to
purchase shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any,
at the price to the public less the underwriting discounts and
commissions.  The over-allotment option may be used to purchase
shares of common stock, or warrants, or any combination thereof, as
determined by the underwriters, but such purchases cannot exceed an
aggregate of 15% of the number of shares of common stock (including
the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock) and warrants sold in the
offering.  The over-allotment option is exercisable for 45 days
from the date of this prospectus.

The Company's common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market
under the symbol "YTEN."  On Dec. 6, 2017, the last reported sale
price for its common stock was $1.98 per share.  The price of the
Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market during recent
periods will only be one of many factors in determining the public
offering price.

Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. -- http://www.yield10bio.com/-- is
focused on developing new technologies to achieve step-change
improvements in crop yield to enhance global food security.
Yield10 has an extensive track record of innovation based around
optimizing the flow of carbon in living systems.  Yield10 leverages
its technology platforms and unique knowledge base to design
precise alterations to gene activity and the flow of carbon in
plants to produce higher yields with lower inputs of land, water or

Yield10 reported a net loss of $7.60 million on $1.15 million of
total revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, compared to a net
loss of $23.68 million on $1.35 million of total revenue for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2015.  As of Sept. 30, 2017, Yield10 had $5.57
million in total assets, $3.02 million in total liabilities and
$2.54 million in total stockholders' equity.

RSM US LLP, in Boston, Massachusetts, issued a "going concern"
opinion on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2016, noting that the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has insufficient capital resources,
which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.


YIELD10 BIOSCIENCE: Grants Research License to Monsanto
-------------------------------------------------------
Yield10 Bioscience, Inc., has granted a non-exclusive research
license to Monsanto Company to evaluate its novel C3003 and C3004
yield traits in soybean.  Under the license, Monsanto plans to
research both traits within its soybean pipeline as a strategy to
improve plant yields.  Yield10 Bioscience is focused on "building
better plants" by developing proprietary, breakthrough technologies
that produce higher yields in major food and feed crops to enhance
global food security using lower inputs of land, water and
fertilizer.

Yield10's "Smart Carbon Grid for Plants" advanced metabolic
engineering technology platform incorporates sourcing of new
metabolic functionality from non-plant systems with sophisticated
models of carbon-flux pathways to identify gene targets that
enhance carbon capture from photosynthesis and regulate the flow of
carbon to seed.  Derived from algae, C3003 represents the lead
plant trait in this platform. C3004, another platform trait, is
believed to play a role in carbon partitioning.  Monsanto plans to
conduct research with C3003 and C3004 individually and in
combination to evaluate the effectiveness of the trait stack.

"The early development work with C3003 and C3004 in oilseeds and
the mechanisms are very interesting, and we are excited to have the
opportunity to explore the potential of these yield traits in
soybean," said Janice Edwards, Ph.D., director, Yield Traits and
Disease, Monsanto.  "We are also impressed by Yield10's metabolic
engineering and advanced carbon flux modeling capabilities, as
Monsanto is committed to developing solutions that meet farmers'
important needs, while positively affecting modern agriculture's
carbon footprint and overall sustainability."

"Monsanto is a worldwide leader in soybean research, and we are
pleased that they have chosen Yield10 and our novel C3003 and C3004
traits for integration into their soybean program," said Oliver
Peoples, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Yield10.  "The Yield10
team looks forward to supporting Monsanto with further insights
from our research to contribute to their R&D success with the
technology."

Soybean is an oilseed crop used for animal feed, food, and food
additives.  It is the second highest value agricultural crop in the
United States with the 2016 harvest estimated at over 4.31 billion
bushels (USDA1) and a value of approximately $41 billion. Soybeans
are widely cultivated in North and South America where a majority
of the seed that is grown is genetically modified for crop
enhancements, such as increased yield or pest resistance. Demands
for agriculture are growing and evolving with a growing global
population, rising middle class and shifting diets.  As a result,
increases in commodity crop yields are needed to keep pace with
growing global demand for food security as well as to increase crop
yield on agriculture's existing footprint.

             Background on Novel Yield Gene Trait C3003

Yield10's C3003 novel yield gene trait is part of a system in algae
that enables carbon fixation in low CO2 environments and appears to
be a unique gene that impacts photorespiration, a biochemical
pathway in C3 photosynthetic plants which is responsible for
significant losses in yield.  The purpose of increased seed yield
is to enable farmers to increase the productivity of their land.
Yield10 is progressing the introduction of C3003 as well as
improvements to the C3003 trait, in Camelina, canola, soybean and
rice, and expects to report additional results from a number of
these activities throughout 2017 and 2018.

Business is war by civilized means.  It won't get you a tailhook
landing on an n aircraft carrier docked in San Diego, but the
spoils of war can be glorious to behold.

Most executives do not approach business this way.  They are
content to nudge along their behemoths, cash their options, and
pillage their workers.  This author calls those managers "inertia
ridden."  He quotes Carl Icahn describing their companies as run
by "gross and widespread incompetent management."

In cycles though, the U.S. economy generates a few business
warriors with the drive, or hubris, to treat the market as a
battlefield.  The 1980s saw the last great spectacle of business
titans clashing.  (The '90s, by contrast, was an era of the
investment banks waging war on the gullible.)  The Money Wars is
the story of the last great buyout boom.  Between 1982 and 1988,
more than ten thousand transactions were completed within the U.S.
alone, aggregating more than $1 trillion of capitalization.

Roy Smith has written a breezy read, traversing the reader through
an important piece of U.S. history, not just business history. Two
thirds of the way through the book, after covering early twentieth
century business history, the growth of financial engineering
after WWII, the conglomerate era, the RJR-Nabisco story, and the
financial machinations of KKR, we finally meet the star of the
show, Michael Milken.  The picture painted by the author leads the
reader to observe that, every now and then, an individual comes
along at the right time and place in history who knows exactly
where he or she is in that history, and leaves a world-historical
footprint as a result.  Whatever one may think of Milken's ethics
or his priorities, the reader will conclude that he is the
greatest financial genius this country has produced since J.P.
Morgan.

No high-flying financial era has ever happened in this country
without the frothy market attracting common criminals, or in some
cases making criminals out of weak, but previously honest men (and
it always seems to be men).  Something there is about testosterone
and money.  With so many deals being done, insider trading was
inevitable.  Was Michael Milken guilty of insider trading?
Probably, but in all likelihood, everybody who attended his lavish
parties, called "Predators' Balls," shared the same information.
Why did the Justice Department go after Milken and his firm,
Drexel Burnham Lambert with such raw enthusiasm?  That history has
not yet been written, but Drexel had created a lot of envy and
enemies on the Street.

When a better history of the period is written, it will be a study
in the confluence of forces that made Michael Milken's genius
possible: the sclerotic management of irrational conglomerates, a
ready market for the junk bonds Milken was selling, and a few
malcontent capitalist like Carl Icahn and Ted Turner, who were
ready and able to wage their own financial warfare.

This book is a must read for any student of business who did not
live through any of these fascination financial eras.

Roy C. Smith is a professor of entrepreneurship, finance and
international business at NYU, and teaches on the faculty there of
the Stern School of Business.  Prior to 1987, he was a partner at

and an M.B.A. from Harvard in 1966.

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
