Hired Experts Sample Clauses

Hired Experts. Gramercy and its agents have hired and relied on professors and others to issue one- sided reports for public dissemination. Among other examples, prior to Gramercy filing its Notice of Intent, a law school professor addressed a report to Gramercy that begins by saying “[y]ou have asked for my legal opinion.”65 The report was published on the PABJ website.66 Another professor67 authored an op-ed in Forbes questioning Peru’s credit rating, issued a report relying on the law professor’s report, and then was part of an event with Gramercy at the Emerging Markets Traders Association.68 In June 2017, another report appeared as to Peru’s adherence to International IMF requirements, as disseminated by XXXX00 and sent by ABDA to the IMF.70 More recently, XXXX commissioned and disseminated a report questioning Peru’s fitness to become a member of the Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD).71 4. Alternative Ratings 39. Gramercy and its agents also have obtained and rely on material with which to smear Peru from secondary agencies HR Ratings and Xxxx Xxxxx.72 HR Ratings’ report notes that it “was solicited by an investor whose identity remains, and will be kept, unknown to the general public,” that the agency “received the corresponding fee for the rating services provided,” and that its main source was “[i]nformation contained in xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx” (i.e. the APJ website).73 Xxxx Xxxxx, which also follows an investor-pays rating model,74 previously was banned from issuing official ratings on asset-backed and government securities as part of a settlement with US regulators who alleged it had mislead regulators and violated rules prohibiting conflicts of interest.75
