New Issue: Spokane School District No. 81, Wash., sells $130.96 million G.O. bonds

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Nov. 3 - The Spokane School District No. 81 of Washington State priced $130.96 million of series 2010 general obligation bonds on Wednesday, Trevor Carlson, debt director for the district, said.

The sale included $10.5 million of series 2010A tax-exempt G.O. bonds, $80.96 million of series 2010B tax-exempt G.O. refunding bonds and $39.5 million of series 2010C Build America Bonds.

The 2010A bonds are due Dec. 1, 2011 and have a 2% coupon.

The 2010B bonds are due 2011 to 2022 with coupons from 2% to 5%.

The 2010C bonds are due 2027 to 2029 with 5.35%, 5.45% and 5.5% coupons.

The full details of the offering were not immediately available, Carlson said, because the district would be finalizing the sale at a special board meeting Wednesday evening.

The bonds (Aa1/AA/) were priced competitively. Piper Jaffray & Co. won the 2010A bonds with a 0.397% true interest cost, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC won the 2010B bonds with a 2.635% TIC. The 2010C bonds were won by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. with a 3.519% TIC.

Proceeds will be used to construct and improve the district's school facilities.
