St. Louis, March 6 - American Cellular Corp. has abandoned its planned $425 million offering of eight-year senior notes (CCC), according to a market source.

Meanwhile the Oklahoma City-based company has upsized its funded term loan B to $900 million from $700 million and has decided to tender for 75% of its $900 million 10% senior notes due 2011 as opposed to 100% of the notes.

Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers were leading the bond deal.

American Cellular is a subsidiary of Dobson Communications Corp., an Oklahoma City-based provider of wireless phone services to rural markets.
