New Issue: Brazil's Banco Votorantim sells $200 million 10-year bonds to yield 7%

By Reshmi Basu

New York, Oct. 3 - Brazil's Banco Votorantim priced a $200 million offering of 10-year bonds (expected ratings Ba3/BB-) at 99.48 with a 6 7/8% coupon to yield 7%, according to a market source.

The notes will pay a fixed rate for the first five years and will contain a one-time par call at year five. If the notes are not called, the coupon steps up to 150% of the original spread; that spread will be calculated against the yield that the five-year U.S. Treasury pays at the time the step-up goes into effect.

Deutsche Bank Securities was the bookrunner for Rule 144A/Regulation S offering.

The issuer is a financial institution with headquarters in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
