New Issue: Kazakhstan's Temir Zholy prices $800 million in two tranches

By Paul A. Harris

St. Louis, May 2 - Kazakhstan Temir Zholy Finance BV has placed $800 million of senior notes in two tranches (Baa1/BB+/BBB), a market source told Prospect News on Tuesday.

The Kazakhstan government-owned railway company priced a $450 million issue of 6½% five-year notes at 99.30 to yield 6.667%.

The issue came at a 125 basis point spread to mid-swaps, which was on top of the price talk. However the 6.667% yield came toward the tight end of the 6.69% area yield talk.

Temir Zholy also priced a $350 million issue of 7% 10-year notes at 98.292 to yield 7.243%.

The 10-year notes came on top of the 165 basis point spread to mid-swaps price talk. On a yield basis, however, the notes came toward the wide end of the 7.23% area price talk.
