New Issue: Huntington Bancshares sells $300 million 7% 10-year notes to repay TARP

By Andrea Heisinger

New York, Dec. 15 - Huntington Bancshares Inc. priced $300 million of 10-year subordinated notes at par on Wednesday to yield 7%, a market source away from the sale said.

The notes were talked at a yield in the 7.125% area and priced at the tight end of that talk.

The non-callable notes (Baa3/BBB-/BBB+) have a spread of 344.9 basis points over Treasuries.

Goldman Sachs & Co. was the bookrunner.

Joint lead managers were Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. and Sandler O'Neill & Partners LP.

Barclays Capital Inc. was the co-manager.

The proceeds are being used to repurchase $1.4 billion of series B fixed-rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock issued to the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Capital Purchase Program.

Huntington has also sold $920 million of common stock.

The bank holding company is based in Columbus, Ohio.
