By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., June 10 – Netherlands-based retailer HEMA priced €715 million of notes in three re-sized tranches on Tuesday, according to a market source.

The deal saw €25 million of proceeds shifted to a tranche of fixed-rate secured notes from a tranche of floating-rate secured notes.

Special purpose vehicle HEMA Bondco I BV priced an upsized €315 million of five-year senior secured fixed-rate notes (/B+/) at par to yield 6Ό%. The tranche was upsized from €290 million. The yield printed 12.5 basis points inside of yield talk in the 6½% area.

HEMA Bondco I BV also priced a downsized €250 million tranche of senior secured floating-rate notes (/B+/) at par to yield Euribor plus 525 bps. The tranche was downsized from €275 million. The yield printed at the tight end of the Euribor plus 525 bps to 550 bps spread talk.

A separate special purpose vehicle, HEMA Bondco II BV, issued the unsecured notes, a €150 million tranche of 5.5-year senior fixed-rate notes which priced at par to yield 8½%. The yield printed on top of yield talk.

Global coordinator Credit Suisse will bill and deliver. ABN Amro, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, JPMorgan and Royal Bank of Scotland were the joint bookrunners.
