By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., Oct. 2 – Athens-based DryShips Inc. talked its $500 million offering of senior secured notes due in 2017 to yield 9 1/8% to 9¼%, according to a market source.

The deal is expected to price before the end of the present week.

Sterne Agee & Leach Inc. is the bookrunner. DNB Markets Inc. and Cowen and Co. LLC are the co-managers.

Proceeds will be used to refinance, in part, the company’s $700 million of outstanding 5% convertible senior notes.

DryShips owns drybulk carriers and tankers.
