By Rebecca Melvin

New York, Sept. 22 - Tenet Healthcare Corp. priced a $300 million offering of three-year mandatory convertible preferred stock with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share for a 7% dividend and an initial conversion premium of 20%, according to a news release.

The registered, off-the-shelf offering has a 15% greenshoe for up to an additional $45 million of preferred stock.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. is the bookrunner of the offering, with Barclays Capital Inc. serving as joint lead manager. Co-managers were Moelis & Co. and Wells Fargo Securities.

Proceeds will be used to repurchase $300 million of its outstanding 9.25% senior notes due 2015 through a privately negotiated transaction.
