By Paul A. Harris

St. Louis, April 14 - Price talk is for a yield on the 8½% area on Rite Aid Corp.'s drive-by sale of $350 million of senior secured notes due 2010, according to a syndicate source.

The deal is expected to price on Tuesday, the source said.

Citigroup and JP Morgan are joint bookrunners.

The Rule 144A notes are part of a planned refinancing that includes the replacement of the senior credit facility with a new $2 billion senior credit facility.

Proceeds from the bond deal will be used to repay part of the term loan and for general corporate purposes.

The issuer is a Camp Hill, Pa.-based drugstore chain.
