New Issue: KB Home sells upsized $200 million 5.5-year convertibles to yield 1.375%, up 50%

By Rebecca Melvin

New York, Jan. 24 - KB Home priced an upsized $200 million of six-year convertibles at par to yield 1.375% with an initial conversion premium of 50%, according to a term sheet.

The registered offering has a $30 million greenshoe.

Initially, the deal was talked at $150 million in size with a $22.5 million greenshoe.

Pricing came at the rich end of talk, which was for a 1.375% to 1.875% coupon and a 45% to 50% premium.

Concurrently with the notes, the company sold $100.38 million of common stock, or 5.5 million shares at $18.25 per share.

Up to 6.325 million shares will be sold if underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares.

The notes were sold via Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. as joint bookrunners.

The notes are non-callable until Nov. 6, 2018. They will be net share settled, and they have change-of-control and dividend protection.

Holders can convert their notes into equity at any time prior to maturity.

Proceeds from the notes sale and a concurrent stock offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including land acquisitions and development.

KB Home is a Los Angeles-based homebuilder.
