U.K.'s Vector talks £442.3 million-£515.1 million five-year convertibles at 2.75%-3.25%, up 27%-32%

By Kenneth Lim

Boston, May 31 - The United Kingdom's Vector Hospitality plc plans to price between £442.3 million and £515.1 million of five-year unsubordinated unsecured convertible bonds on Thursday, talked at a coupon of 2.75% to 3.25% and an initial conversion premium of 27% to 32%.

The convertibles will be offered at par.

There is an over-allotment option for a further £63.2 million to £73.6 million.

Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS Investment Bank are the bookrunners of the Regulation S offering.

The deal is concurrently offered with Vector's initial public offering. The convertible deal will initially be convertible into 35 million shares of Vector common stock with a further 5 million shares if the greenshoe is exercised.

The convertibles may be put in the third year.

Vector, a London-based specialist hospitality real estate investment trust, said the proceeds of the convertible deal and its IPO will be used to fund the acquisition of its initial portfolio.
