By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Oct. 5 - The State of Georgia priced $653.925 million of its planned $974.98 million sale of series 2010 general obligation bonds (Aaa/AAA/AAA) on Tuesday, said Lee McElhannon, the state's bond finance director.

The state has postponed a $68.93 million tranche of series 2010A-1 and $252.125 million tranche of series 2010A-2 refunding bonds due to poor market conditions.

The sale included $170.165 million in series 2010B G.O. bonds, $360.4 million in series 2010C-1 and series 2010C-2 Build America Bonds, $94.605 million in series 2010C-3 recovery zone economic development bonds and $28.755 million in series 2010C-4 qualified school construction bonds.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. won the 2010B, 2010C-1, 2010C-2 and 2010C-3 bonds, and Barclays Capital Inc. won the series 2010C-4 qualified school construction bonds.

The 2010B bonds are due 2011 to 2020 with 2% to 5% coupons. The 2010C-1 bonds are due 2011 to 2016 with 3% to 5% coupons. The 2010C-2 bonds are due 2017 to 2030 with 2.58% to 4.565% coupons, all priced at par. The 2010C-3 bonds are due 2013 to 2030 with 1.19% to 4.67% coupons, all priced at par. The 2010C-4 bonds are due Oct. 1, 2029 and have a 4.55% coupon priced at par.
