By Lisa Kerner

Charlotte, N.C., June 19 - Stockland Finance Pty. Ltd. announced an agreement to secure new long-dated U.S. private placement debt equivalent to A$155.3 million.

The debt comprises three tranches:

• $40.5 million with a 10-year term maturing August 2022; and

• $50 million with a 12-year term maturing August 2024.

The issue was priced in Australian dollar terms at an average spread of BBSW plus 303 basis points, inclusive of fees.

Initially issued at a fixed rate, the debt was swapped to floating rate, according to a company news release.

Barclays Capital Inc and UBS were the joint placement agents.
