St. Louis, Oct. 12 - Odyssee Financing SA (Editis) is expected to begin a roadshow late this week for a €150 million offering of 10-year senior notes, according to market sources.

Pricing is expected late in the week of Oct. 18.

BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse First Boston and Lehman Brothers will be joint bookrunners for the Rule 144A offering, which has no registration rights.

The notes will come with four years of call protection.

Proceeds will be used to support Wendel Investissement's acquisition of certain publishing assets from Lagardere.

The prospective issuer is a Paris-based publisher of educational and consumer media, formerly Vivendi Universal Publishing.
