New Issue: Russia's Gazprom prices $1.2 billion 30-year bonds to yield 8 5/8%

By Reshmi Basu

New York, April 23 - OAO Gazprom's funding vehicle GAZ Capital SA priced $1.2 billion of 30-year bonds (Ba2/BB-/BB) with a 10-year put option at par to yield 8 5/8%, according to market sources.

The offering came at the tight end of talk. Price guidance of 8¾% surfaced Thursday on what market sources believed would be a downsized $1 billion deal. However, the deal came in line with the originally announced amount of $1.2 billion.

Credit Suisse First Boston and Deutsche Bank Securities were joint bookrunners on the Rule 144A/Regulation S deal.

Gazprom is a Russian natural gas company.
