Transocean prices; CHS, Stars, McClatchy on deck; Novolex dominates; ATD plummets

By Paul A. Harris and Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., June 27 – The domestic primary market is pumping out a steady stream of new deals with one deal pricing on Wednesday and more on deck for Thursday.

Transocean Guardian Ltd. aka. RIG, priced an upsized $750 million issue of 5 7/8% 5.5-year senior secured notes (B1/BB-) at 99.00 to yield 6.234% on Wednesday.

CHS/Community Health Systems set price talk for its $1.02 billion offering of 5.5-year senior notes with pricing expected Thursday. The company’s outstanding junk bonds were trading down as the new offering was in the works.

Stars Group Holdings BV’s offering of $750 million eight-year senior notes is also expected to price on Thursday with McClatchy Co.’s offering of $310 million eight-year senior notes set to price before the end of the week.

Flex Acquisition Holdings, Inc., doing business as Novolex, priced a $500 million issue of eight-year senior notes (Caa1/CCC+) at par to yield 7 7/8% late Tuesday.

The new notes dominated trading activity in the secondary space although their performance was lackluster, a market source said.

Meanwhile, American Tire Distributors’ 10¼% senior notes due 2022 hit a new low on Wednesday with the notes dropping more than 30 points after Bridgestone announced it would no longer distribute passenger and light truck tires through the company.
