By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., July 9 - London-based cinema chain operator VUE Entertainment expects to price a £550 million equivalent two-part offering of seven-year senior secured notes as early as Thursday, according to a buyside source.

The deal is coming in tranches of sterling-denominated fixed-rate notes and euro-denominated floating-rate notes.

Tranche sizes remain to be determined.

Goldman Sachs International has the books.

Credit ratings in the single B range are anticipated.

Proceeds will be used to fund the leveraged buyout of the company by Alberta Investment Management Corp. and the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System.
