By Andrea Heisinger

New York, March 12 - Valero Energy Corp. priced $1 billion of notes (Baa2/BBB/BBB) in two tranches Thursday, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The $750 million of 9.375% 10-year notes priced at 99.867 to yield 9.396%, or Treasuries plus 650 basis points. This tranche priced below price talk that was in the 662.5 bps area, a source close to the deal said.

Both tranches have make-whole calls at Treasuries plus 50 bps.

Bookrunners were Barclays Capital Inc., BNP Paribas Securities, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and UBS Investment Bank.
