New York, May 13 - The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund sold $675.92 million in series 2010A revenue bonds, according to a pricing sheet.

The bonds (Aa3/AA-/AA) were sold on a negotiated basis with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. as the lead manager.

The bonds are due 2015 to 2016 with 3.5% to 5% coupons.
