By Andrea Heisinger

New York, June 4 - Harris Corp. priced an upsized $350 million 6.375% 10-year notes Thursday to yield Treasuries plus 275 basis points, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The size was increased from $300 million, a market source said.

The notes (Baa1/BBB+/) priced at 99.691 to yield 6.417% with a make-whole call at Treasuries plus 37.5 bps.

The notes feature a change-of-control put of 101%.

Bookrunners were Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc.

Co-managers were Banc of America Securities LLC, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Inc.

The communications and information technology company is based in Melbourne, Fla.
