New Issue: Florida Gas Transmission prices $300 million of 3.875% 10-year bonds at Treasuries plus 225 bps

By Andrea Heisinger

New York, June 12 - Florida Gas Transmission Co. LLC sold $300 million of 3.875% 10-year senior bonds on Tuesday at a spread of Treasuries plus 225 basis points, a market source said.

The notes (Baa2/BBB/) were priced at 99.873 under Rule 144A and Regulation S.

RBS Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC were the bookrunners.

Proceeds are being used to refinance the company's 7% senior notes due in July, to replace outstanding amounts on a revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

The Houston-based natural gas pipeline company was last in the market with an $850 million sale of notes in two maturities on July 8, 2010. A 5.45% 10-year note from that deal priced at 245 bps over Treasuries.
