By Kenneth Lim

Boston, May 29 - Terex Corp. priced $150 million of six-year convertible senior unsecured notes on Thursday after the market closed at the rich end of talk to yield 4% with an initial conversion premium of 25% over a concurrent stock offering price of $13.

Priced talk was for a coupon of 4% to 4.5% and an initial conversion premium of 20% to 25%, market sources said.

There is an over-allotment option for an additional $22.5 million.

Credit Suisse, Citi and UBS Investment Bank are the bookrunners of the registered off-the-shelf offering.

The company concurrently priced $300 million of senior notes due 2016 with a coupon of 10.875% to yield 11 3/8% and $143 million, or 11 million shares at about $13 apiece, of its common stock. The common stock offering has a greenshoe of an additional 1.65 million shares, or about $21.45 million.

The convertibles will have a contingent conversion hurdle at 130%.

The convertibles are non-callable and may not be put.

There will be a net-share settlement feature.

Proceeds of the debt and equity offerings will be used to pay down outstanding amounts under a senior credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
