New Issue: ITT sells $1 billion notes in five-, 10-year tranches via Citigroup, JPMorgan

By Andrea Heisinger

New York, April 28 - ITT Corp. priced $1 billion notes (Baa1/BBB+/A-) in two tranches Tuesday, an informed source said.

The $500 million of 4.9% five-year notes priced at 99.807 to yield 4.944%, or Treasuries plus 300 basis points.

The $500 million of 6.125% 10-year notes priced at 99.86 to yield 6.144%, or Treasuries plus 312.5 bps.

Both tranches came in at the tight end of price talk, the source said, which was the 312.5 bps area for the five-year notes and the 325 bps area for the 10-year notes. Both have margins of plus or minus 12.5 bps.

The notes feature a change-of-control put of 101%.

Bookrunners were Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of short-term debt.

The high-technology engineering and manufacturing company is based in White Plains, N.Y.
