By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Portland, Ore., July 21 - PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. priced a $1 billion public offering of depositary shares representing series O fixed-to-floating-rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, according to an FWP filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission late Wednesday.

Each depositary share represents a 1/100th interest in one preferred.

The depositary shares will be issued at $1,000 each. Liquidation preference is $100,000 per preferred.

The preferreds (Baa3/BBB/A-) have a dividend rate of 6.75% through Aug. 1, 2021. At that point, the dividend rate will change to Libor plus 367.8 basis points.

Dividends will be payable semiannually on Feb. 1 and Aug. 1 through Aug. 1, 2021. The dividends will then be payable quarterly on Feb. 1, May 1, Aug. 1 and Nov. 1.

The company can choose to redeem the preferreds after Aug. 1, 2021 or within 90 days of a regulatory capital treatment event.

Settlement is expected Wednesday.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are the bookrunners. PNC Capital Markets LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Sandler O'Neill + Partners, LP are the co-managers.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including funding the acquisition of RBC Bank (USA).

PNC is a Pittsburgh-based bank holding company and financial services firm.
