New York, March 13 - Goldcorp Inc. priced $1.5 billion of notes (Baa2/BBB+/) in two tranches Wednesday, a source close to the trade said.

A $500 million tranche of 2.125% five-year notes was priced at 99.526 to yield 2.226% with a spread of Treasuries plus 135 basis points. Pricing was at the tight end of talk in the 140 bps area, plus or minus 5 bps.

There was also $1 billion of 3.7% 10-year notes sold at 99.431 to yield 3.769% with a spread of 175 bps over Treasuries. The notes were priced at the tight end of talk in the 180 bps area, plus or minus 5 bps.

The 10-year notes have a make-whole call at Treasuries plus 25 bps to Dec. 15, 2022 and a par call after that date.

There is a change-of-control feature at 101%.
