By Rebecca Melvin

New York, Sept. 10 - Coinstar Inc. priced $175 million of five-year convertible senior notes after the market close Thursday at par to yield 4% with an initial conversion premium of 32.5%, according to a market source.

The registered, off-the-shelf deal priced at the tight end of revised talk. Talk was revised down to 4% to 4.25% for the coupon and 32.5% for the premium, from 4.25% to 4.75%, with an initial conversion premium of 27.5% to 32.5%.

There is an over-allotment option for an additional $25 million of notes.

Joint bookrunners were Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Jefferies & Co. and RBC Capital Markets Corp.

Co-managers were J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Wells Fargo, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and Merriman Curhan Ford & Co.

The bonds are non-callable for life with no puts. The bonds also have contingent conversion at a price hurdle of 130%, as well as net share settlement, dividend protection and change-of-control protection.

Proceeds will be used to repay amounts outstanding under Coinstar's term loan under its senior secured credit facility and to pay down a portion of the outstanding amounts under Coinstar's $400 million revolving line of credit.

Bellevue, Wash.-based Coinstar owns and operates self-service coin-counting machines.
