By Kenneth Lim

Boston, Feb. 13 - Germany's IVG Immobilien AG priced €400 million of 10-year convertible bonds within talk on Tuesday, at a coupon of 1.75% and an initial conversion premium of 30%.

The convertibles were offered at par and talked at a coupon of 1.5% to 2% and an initial conversion premium of 27% to 32%.

Dresdner Kleinwort and JP Morgan were the bookrunners of the Regulation S offering.

The convertibles are non-callable for the first five years, after which they may be called subject to a hurdle at 140% of the conversion price. They may be put in the fifth year.

IVG, a Bonn, Germany-based real estate investment company that focuses on office buildings in European cities, said the proceeds of the deal will be used to finance further growth and acquisition opportunities.
