New Issue: Russia's Gazprom sells €1 billion seven-year bonds to yield mid-swaps plus 125 bps

By Reshmi Basu

New York, Dec. 2 - Natural gas company OAO Gazprom sold €1 billion of seven-year bonds (Baa1/BB/BB+) at par to yield 4.56%, or mid-swaps plus 125 basis points, according to a market source.

The deal came at the wide end of revised price guidance, which was set at 120 to 125 basis points more than mid-swaps.

ABN Amro and Credit Suisse First Boston managed the Regulation S transaction through the company's special purpose vehicle, Gaz Capital SA.

Moscow-based Gazprom will use the proceeds to repay bridge loans obtained in financing the $13.1 billion acquisition of Sibneft.
