New York, Oct. 4 - Nippon Life Insurance Co. is looking to sell an offering of 30-year fixed-to-floating-rate callable subordinated notes (A2/A-/), a market source said on Thursday.

There will be a fixed interest rate until October of 2022 with a floating rate thereafter. There is also an interest deferral option.

The bonds would be sold under Rule 144A and Regulation S and be non-callable for 10 years.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC have been tapped as bookrunners.

The life insurance company is based in Chuo-ku, Osaka.
