Russia’s Severstal increases price on offer for $600 million of notes

New York, Feb. 2 – PAO Severstal, previously known as OAO Severstal, said Steel Capital SA has increased the price it will pay in its tender offers for up to $600 million of two series of its notes.

The company is now offering $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of its 6¼% loan participation notes due 2016 and $975 per $1,000 principal amount of its 6.7% loan participation notes due 2017.

No other changes were made.

Severstal previously announced on Jan. 20 that it had extended the expiration of the tender to 11 a.m. ET on Feb. 4 from 11 a.m. ET on Jan. 21.
