By Kenneth Lim

Boston, Feb. 22 - Japan's Toray Industries Inc. priced ¥90 billion of five- and seven-year zero-coupon convertible bonds in two equally sized tranches on Thursday. The initial conversion premium was set at 27% for the 2012 bonds and 23% for the 2014 bonds.

The convertibles were offered at par.

Toray did not identify the bookrunners of the Regulation S offering.

The initial conversion price for the 2012 bonds was set at ¥1,130 per share and for the 2014 bonds at ¥1,094 per share.

Toray, a Tokyo-based diversified manufacturer of fibers, textiles, plastics and chemicals, said the proceeds of the deals will be used for capital expenditures such as improving and expanding its carbon fiber facilities.
