New Issue: GSC Capital sells $85 million five-year convertibles at 7.25%

By Rebecca Melvin

Princeton, N.J., June 24 - GSC Capital Corp. sold $85 million of five-year senior convertible notes with a coupon of 7.25% and an initial conversion price of $25.

The notes are callable in 2½ years after a qualifying $125 million initial public offering.

If the company does not hold the required IPO within 2½ years, investors can put the notes to the issue for cash at a price of 100% per bond plus 4%.

Deutsche Bank is the bookrunner for the deal, which has a $25 million greenshoe.

Rockville, Md.-based GSC Capital, a real estate investment trust, plans to use proceeds to begin operations as it initiates investments, a syndicate source said.
