By Andrea Heisinger

New York, Feb. 3 - Procter & Gamble Co. priced $3 billion of notes (Aa3/AA-) in three tranches Tuesday, market sources said.

The $750 million of 3.5% six-year notes priced at 99.58 to yield 3.578%, or Treasuries plus 167.5 basis points. They have a make-whole call of Treasuries plus 30 bps.

The $1.25 billion of 4.7% 10-year notes priced at 99.824 to yield 4.722%, or Treasuries plus 185 bps. They have a make-whole call of Treasuries plus 35 bps.

A $1 billion issue of floating-rate notes due Feb. 8, 2010 was also added to the deal, being sold under Procter & Gamble International Funding SCA, pricing at par to yield three-month Libor plus 25 bps. These notes are guaranteed by Procter & Gamble Co.

Both of the fixed-rate tranches priced better than price talk, which was in the 170 bps area for the six-year notes and the 187.5 bps area for the 10-year tranche.

Bookrunners were Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., HSBC Securities and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
