New Issue: Gajah Tunggal upsized 10¼% five-year bond prices at 99.522 to yield 10 3/8%

By Paul A. Harris

St. Louis, July 15 - GT 2005 Bonds BV priced an upsized $325 million issue of five-year senior fixed-rate notes (B2/B) at 99.522 to yield 10 3/8%, a market source told Prospect News on Friday.

The yield came on top of the 10 3/8% area price talk.

Credit Suisse First Boston and UBS Investment Bank ran the books for the Regulation S only issue.

Proceeds will be used to refinance debt incurred during the company's 2002 restructuring, freeing it from covenants so that it can engage in capital expenditures.

The issue was upsized from $250 million.

The issuer, a financing arm of Indonesian tire-maker PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk, is based in Tangerang, Indonesia.
