Eureka Springs, Ark., Jan. 10 – Hospitality Properties Trust priced $600 million of fixed-rate senior notes (Baa2/BBB-) in two tranches on Tuesday, according to a market source and an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company sold $200 million in a reopening of its 4.5% notes due June 15, 2023 at 101.215 to yield 4.281%. The notes priced in line with guidance at a spread of 240 basis points over Treasuries.

Hospitality Properties Trust originally sold $300 million of the notes on May 30, 2013 at 99.887 to yield 4.514%, or 240 bps over Treasuries. The total outstanding now is $500 million.

The company’s $400 million offering of 4.95% notes due Feb. 15, 2027 priced at 98.954 to yield 5.083%. The 10-year notes priced with a spread of 270 bps over Treasuries, on the tight side of guidance.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., RBC Capital Markets Corp, UBS Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities LLC, BBVA Securities Inc., Mizuho Securities USA Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC, Regions Securities LLC and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. were the bookrunners.
