New Issue: Zions Bancorporation prices upsized $450 million 7.75% five-year notes to yield 11.25%

By Andrea Heisinger

New York, Sept. 18 - Zions Bancorporation priced an upsized $450 million of 7.75% five-year senior notes Friday to yield 11.25%, an informed source said.

The size was initially $300 million, a source said Thursday when the sale was announced. It went overnight to allow investors a better look at the name, because it is an infrequent issuer.

The notes (/BBB-/BBB) priced at 86.888 and a spread of Treasuries plus 880.1 basis points. They are non-callable.

Bookrunners were Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. Bank of America Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Zions Direct were co-managers.

Proceeds will be used for repayment of $295.63 million in floating-rate senior notes due Dec. 10, 2009 and for general corporate purposes.

The financial holding company is based in Salt Lake City.
