By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Oct. 21 - Maryland sold $200 million in series 2009 state and local facilities loan general obligation bonds, according to a pricing sheet.

The bonds (Aaa/AAA/AAA) were sold on a competitive basis with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. winning the $141.8 million series 2009A G.O. bonds and Barclays Capital Inc. winning the $58.2 million series 2009B Build America Bonds portion.

The state had intended to sell $603.37 million in series 2009C refunding bonds, but that portion of the sale was cancelled.

The true interest cost for the 2009A bonds came in at 2.85% and the TIC for the 2009B bonds came in at 4.68%.

The 2009A bonds are due 2012 to 2021 with 5% coupons across the board and the 2009B bonds are due 2022 to 2024 with 4.45% to 4.8% coupons.

Proceeds will be used to fund state and local facilities capital grants for local governments for public schools, community colleges and jails, as well as to refund existing debt.
