New York, March 29 - Altus Group Ltd. priced C$48 million of five-year convertible debentures in a bought deal at par to yield 6.75% with an initial conversion premium of 42%, according to a news release.

The Regulation S offering was made via a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets.

The debentures will be convertible into Altus shares at a price of C$10 per share.

The debentures are non-callable until June 20, 2015 and then are provisionally callable subject to a 125% price hurdle.
