New Issue: Reynolds Group doubles size of two-part notes issue to $2 billion

By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., Jan. 27 - Reynolds Group Issuer Entities doubled the size of its two-part offering of 10-year notes to $2 billion on Thursday, doubling the sizes of both the secured and unsecured tranches, according to an informed source.

The Chicago-based food packaging company priced an upsized $1 billion tranche of senior secured notes (Ba3/BB/) at par to yield 6 7/8%.

The secured tranche-size was doubled from $500 million, and the yield printed at the tight end of the 6 7/8% to 7% price talk.

Reynolds also priced an upsized $1 billion tranche of senior unsecured notes (Caa1/B/) at par to yield 8¼%.

The unsecured tranche was also upsized from $500 million and also priced at the tight end of price talk, which was 8¼% to 8 3/8%.

Credit Suisse was the bookrunner for the quick-to-market deal, the overall size of which was doubled from $1 billion.

The company will use the proceeds to pay down its existing term loan D.
