New Issue: Nebraska Investment Finance Authority prices $50 million fixed, floating bonds

By Cristal Cody

Springdale, Ark., Feb. 20 - Nebraska Investment Finance Authority revealed the details Wednesday of the $50 million fixed-rate and floating rate bonds it priced with coupons from 2.5% to 5.5%.

The authority sold $25 million in series 2008A fixed rate single family housing revenue bonds with coupons from 2.5% in 2009 to 4.45% in 2018, according to the final pricing wire. The 2028 term bond priced with a 5.375% coupon, and the 2039 term bond priced with a 5.5% coupon.

The initial rate probably will not be set on the variable rate bonds until closing Feb. 28, said Steve Clements, chief operating officer for the finance authority.

Lehman Brothers handled the negotiated sale, with co-managers Ameritas Investment Corp., Citigroup Global Markets and D.A. Davidson & Co.

Proceeds will be used to refund prior series bonds and to purchase and finance mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities in Nebraska.
