Olympia, Wash., March 19 – KWG Group Holdings Ltd. priced $350 million of additional 7 7/8% senior notes due Sept. 1, 2023 at 102.125% of par, according to a company announcement.

The notes will be consolidated and form a single class with the $350 million original notes issued on March 1, bringing the total deal size to $700 million.
