New York, Aug. 7 - United Surgical Partners International, Inc. set pricing in its tender offer for its 10% senior subordinated notes due 2011.

For each $1,000 principal amount, the company will pay $1,063.67, including the $30.00 consent payment. Accrued interest will add a further $14.72.

Pricing was set using the present value of $1,050, the redemption amount of the notes on Dec. 15 - the first call date for the notes - discounted using the yield to maturity on the 2.875% Treasury due Nov. 31, 2006 and 50 basis points. The payout includes a consent payment of $30.00.
