BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC Files Lawsuit Against Government of Puerto Rico


NEW YORK, July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against the Government of Puerto Rico, challenging the legality of a new law that allows certain public corporations to avoid their debts.

Funds managed by BlueMountain Capital are holders of power revenue bonds in Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), a public corporation that provides electrical power to residents and businesses in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

PREPA is widely considered the most likely public corporation to seek to avoid its debts under the Puerto Rico Public Corporation Debt Enforcement and Recovery Act, which was enacted on June 28, 2014.

Upon filing the complaint, former United States Solicitor General and lead counsel for BlueMountain Capital, Theodore B. Olson of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, said:

“Puerto Rico’s new debt avoidance law breaks faith with PREPA’s investors by erecting an unconstitutional bankruptcy regime to subvert their contractual rights – which is exactly what the Commonwealth promised it would never do. The problems raised by Puerto Rico’s massive debt burden are undoubtedly very serious, but tearing up contracts, disregarding federal law, and abusing power to arbitrarily pick winners and losers is not the answer. The Constitution of the United States plainly forbids that approach. We will ask the courts to enforce the Constitution, to halt the damage that the Commonwealth’s new bankruptcy law is inflicting on investors, and to require the Commonwealth to respect the rule of law and live up to its agreements.”

BlueMountain Capital issued the following statement:

“We regret that we have no other way to ensure our legal, contractual rights than to file a complaint in the court system. Rather than walking away from contracts, the Commonwealth and PREPA should collaborate with its investors to develop real solutions that put PREPA, the Commonwealth and its institutions on a path to financial stability. These solutions exist. We look forward to working constructively to arrive at a resolution.”

The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court of Puerto Rico. To receive a copy of the complaint, contact Miriam Warren at [email protected].

BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC (“BlueMountain Capital”) is an absolute return manager with over $20 billion under management.  BlueMountain Capital and its affiliates have offices in New York, London, and Tokyo. More information can be found at www.bluemountaincapital.com.

Kmart Is March Of Dimes #1 Partner For Health Of Moms And Babies


Retail Giant’s Participation in March for Babies Raises a Record Amount


WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A few dollars given individually might not seem like much, but through many such small acts of generosity, Kmart’s Shop Your Way(℠) members, customers and associates have donated an unprecedented $11 million this year to the March of Dimes annual March for Babies® to give more babies a healthy start in life.

Kmart’s record-breaking achievement set a new standard for the successful relationship between the two organizations. Tim Austin, Kmart’s senior vice president of retail services and the 2014 March for Babies National Chairman, joined an enthusiastic crowd of 10,000 walkers at the Chicago Lakefront March of Babies in April where he shared how this year’s effort became more personal than ever.

“Kmart’s commitment to the March of Dimes is historic,” Austin said. “Helping babies clearly resonates with our customers and associates, and personally, it brings me immense joy. The mission of the March of Dimes has touched my own family this year as my grandson was born prematurely. Kmart’s ongoing efforts to support March of Dimes helps fund education programs and research initiatives that can help more babies receive the healthy start in life they deserve.”

Kmart has been a March of Dimes partner for more than three decades, and its annual fundraising campaigns have raised more than $125 million, more than any other corporation.

“Because of Kmart’s support, more women will get the prenatal care they need, and 92,000 families of babies in newborn intensive care all across the country will get comfort and guidance,” said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes.  “With Kmart as our partner, hundreds of scientists now are working together to discover the unknown causes of premature birth. Our work has helped reduce the US preterm birth by more than 10 percent since 2006, sparing thousands of babies from death and disability. We are truly grateful to everyone at Kmart for their remarkable contributions to this effort.”
