By Rebecca Melvin

New York, Oct. 28 - Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. priced $270 million of convertible preferred stock at a liquidation price of $20 per share, which will be automatically converted in 60 days, subject to a shareholder vote, a syndicate source said.

Flagstar concurrently priced 110 million shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. The new share price represented a 57% discount to Wednesday's closing share price on the New York Stock Exchange.

There is a greenshoe on the preferred shares for up to 2.025 million additional preferred shares, or $40.5 million, on top of the 13.5 million preferreds already priced. There is also a 15% greenshoe on the common stock.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC was the bookrunner for the registered, off-the-shelf offerings.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include disposition of non-performing assets or restructuring of the balance sheet.

Flagstar has applied to list the convertible preferred stock on the NYSE under the symbol "FBC PR."

Flagstar is a Troy, Mich.-based savings and loan holding company.
