By Jennifer Chiou
New York, June 13 - Level 3 Communications Inc. said that underwriters exercised $35 million of a $45 million greenshoe option, raising its issue of convertible senior notes due 2012 to $335 million.
On June 7, the company priced the convertibles at a coupon of 3.5% and an initial conversion premium of 20%.
Merrill Lynch was the bookrunner.
The convertibles are non-callable for the first four years. There are no puts.
Level 3 plans to use the net proceeds to redeem its 9 1/8% senior notes due 2008 and 10½% senior discount notes due 2008.
Level 3 is a Broomfield, Colo.-based communications and information services company.
