By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., Sept. 27 - Allegion US Holding Co. priced a $300 million issue of eight-year senior notes (Ba2/BB+/) at par to yield 5¾% on Friday, according to a market source.

The yield printed on top of the yield talk.

Goldman Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC were the joint bookrunners.

Proceeds, along with a $1.5 billion credit facility, will be used to pay a special cash distribution to the company prior to the proposed spin-off of its commercial and residential security businesses and for general corporate purposes.

In a change to the planned financing, the company downsized the bond portion by $200 million, to $300 million from $500 million, and upsized its term loan by the same amount, to $500 million from $300 million.
