New Issue: Westpac Securities NZ $500 million 2.625% three-year notes yield Treasuries plus 120 bps

By Andrea Heisinger

New York, Jan. 21 - Westpac Securities NZ Ltd. priced $500 million of 2.625% three-year notes early on Thursday to yield 120 basis points over Treasuries, a source away from the deal said.

The notes (Aa2/AA/) priced at 99.928 to yield 2.65%. They are non-callable.

The deal was done under Rule 144A. Market sources said they were surprised the deal did not price during the day on Wednesday - the day the sale was announced.

The unit of financial services company Westpac New Zealand Ltd. is based in Auckland, New Zealand.
