By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., Oct. 9 - Hastings Insurance Group (Finance) plc plans to sell £415 million of senior secured notes in two tranches, according to a market source.

The deal is coming in fixed-rate notes due 2020 and floating-rate notes due 2019.

Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs will lead the deal.

The Suffolk, England-based insurance company plans to use the proceeds to refinance debt and to fund the equity portion of its purchase by Goldman Sachs Principal Investments.

Fitch Ratings has assigned a rating of BB- to the notes in both tranches.
