New Issue: Ineos prices €1.03 billion equivalent five-year notes in dollar and euro tranches

By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., Feb. 11 - Switzerland-based Ineos Group Holdings SA priced €1,032,646,477 equivalent of five-year senior notes (B3/B-/) in two tranches on Tuesday, according to informed sources.

Ineos priced a €600 million tranche of the notes at par to yield 5¾%. The yield printed 12.5 basis points inside of yield talk in the 6% area. The deal launched earlier on Tuesday at a target size of €500 million to €600 million and came at the high end of that range.

Joint global coordinator and bookrunner JPMorgan will bill and deliver for the euro-denominated tranche.

In addition the company price a $590 million tranche of the notes at par to yield 5 7/8%, at the tight end of yield talk which, like the euro-denominated tranche, had been set in the 6% area.

Joint global coordinator and bookrunner Citigroup Global Markets will bill and deliver for the dollar-denominated tranche.

Earlier guidance had the notes in both tranches coming in a low 6% yield context.

Barclays, BofA Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and UBS were joint bookrunners.

The specialty chemicals company plans to use the proceeds to repay its outstanding senior notes due 2016.
