Boston, July 26 - Finland's Citycon Oyj. on Tuesday priced €100 million of seven-year convertible subordinated bonds within talk at a coupon of 4.5% and an initial conversion premium of 22%. The deal priced at par.

Talk was for a coupon of 4% to 4.5% and an initial conversion premium of 20% to 25%.

The deal came at the high end of the planned size range. Citycon had said the amount offered could have been between €70 million and €100 million.

The initial conversion price is €4.3432. There is a greenshoe option for a further €10 million.

Dresdner Kleinwort and Kempen and Co. were the bookrunners of the deal, which was sold in Europe under Regulation S.
