      <title>Settlement Talks on CMP Project Questioned ; Some Parties See Political Pressure That Could Subvert the Proper Legal Process.</title>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;At a confidential meeting today, parties including the staff of the Maine Public Utilities Commission and Central Maine Power Co. will seek ways to settle CMP's landmark request for a $1.4 billion upgrade of its transmission system.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;But two prominent parties in the case say the settlement attempt - initiated at CMP's urging - reflects political pressure by the utility's parent company and threatens to short-circuit a legal process that's meant to test whether the project is necessary in its proposed form.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They also say that Gov. John Baldacci's wind power trade mission to Europe last week, and statements the governor made during the trip, send a message that Maine's energy future depends heavily on the approval of the transmission line, which would directly benefit Iberdrola, the Spanish owner of CMP's parent company, Energy East.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3515899>[More...]</a>]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/3346621</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[FairPoint Communications, Inc. announced today that it has amended the terms of its previously announced private exchange offer for all of its outstanding 13 1/8% Senior Notes due 2018 held by qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors and its corresponding solicitation of consents from Holders of the Notes for certain amendments to the indenture under which the Notes were issued . FairPoint has had discussions relating to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation with the financial advisor, Moelis &amp; Company LLC , and legal advisor, Stroock &amp; Stroock &amp; Lavan LLP, to Holders that FairPoint believes own approximately 80 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes and certain of the Supporting Holders. As a result of these discussions, the Company expects such Supporting Holders to tender their Notes in the Exchange Offer as amended. The amendments to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation include the following:The Early Consent Deadline has been extended to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 17, 2009;The Withdrawal Deadline has been extended to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 17, 2009;The Expiration Date has been extended to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 24, 2009;The Early Consent Payment has been increased to $3.75 in cash per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes exchanged in the Exchange Offer to all Holders who validly deliver and do not validly revoke a consent in the Consent Solicitation prior to the Early Consent Deadline; If FairPoint fails to deliver a detailed business plan, the adequacy of which will be determined in the reasonable discretion of the FairPoint Communications Board of Directors, to Moelis by 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2009, FairPoint will pay a cash payment of $5.00 per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes exchanged in the Exchange Offer to all Holders who validly deliver and do not validly revoke a consent in the Consent Solicitation prior to the Early Consent Deadline; such payment, if any, will be contingent upon the consummation of the Exchange Offer and will be paid within 3 business days after July 27, 2009; The new 13 1/8% Senior Notes due 2018 to be received by Holders who exchange their Notes in the Exchange Offer will bear interest at a rate of 13 1/8% per annum, except that the New Notes will bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum for the period from the Settlement Date through and including September 30, 2009. The interest payable on the New Notes on October 1, 2009 shall be payable in the form of cash, by capitalizing such interest and adding it to the principal amount of the New Notes or a combination of both cash and such capitalization of interest, at FairPoint's option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent FairPoint pays the interest payable on the Notes on October 1, 2009, in cash, then FairPoint will, at its option, be required to either pay interest on the New Notes in cash at a rate of 13 1/8% per annum for the period from the Settlement Date through and including September 30, 2009 or pay interest on the New Notes by capitalizing such interest and adding it to the principal amount of the New Notes at a rate of 17% per annum for the period from the Settlement Date through and including September 30, 2009; andSection 4.17 of the Indenture , which prohibits FairPoint and its restricted subsidiaries from paying Holders for their consent to amend or waive the terms of any provision of the Indenture unless such payment is offered to all consenting Holders, has been added to the Proposed Amendments for which consents are being solicited pursuant to the Consent Solicitation. Accordingly, if the Requisite Consents are received, the Second Supplemental Indenture is executed and the Exchange Offer is consummated, Section 4.17 of the Indenture will be eliminated. As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 10, 2009, approximately $39,790,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been tendered in the Exchange Offer.Documents relating to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will only be distributed to Holders of Notes who complete and return a letter of eligibility confirming that they are qualified institutional buyers or accredited investors.
