By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Nov. 14 - The State of Tennessee priced $170,525,000 of series 2012 general obligation bonds, according to a pricing sheet.

The deal included $140 million of series 2012B G.O. bonds and $30,525,000 of series 2012C taxable G.O. refunding bonds.

The 2012B bonds are due 2013 to 2032 with 2.25% to 5% coupons. The 2012C bonds are due 2013 to 2020 with 0.3% to 1.6% coupons, all priced at par.
