By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., July 10 – Amsterdam-based discount retailer HEMA BV plans to price €760 million of high-yield notes on Thursday, according to a market source.

The deal includes €610 million of five-year senior secured floating-rate notes, which come with one year of call protection, and €150 million of 5.5-year senior unsecured notes, which come with two years of call protection.

Credit Suisse is the lead.

Proceeds from the Rule 144A and Regulation S offering, together with cash on hand, are expected to be used to pay off the company's existing secured floating-rate notes, secured fixed-rate notes and unsecured notes and pay off its existing purchase money obligation facility.

The issuing entities will be subsidiaries HEMA Bondco I BV and HEMA Bondco II BV.
