By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., April 7 – Lannett Co. Inc. talked its $350 million offering of five-year first-lien notes (B1/B) to yield 7¾% to 8%, according to market sources.

Official talk comes tight to early guidance in the 8% area.

Books close at 10 a.m. ET Thursday and the deal is set to price thereafter.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC has the books. Wells Fargo Securities LLC is the co-manager.

The Rule 144A and Regulation S notes become callable after two years at par plus 50% of the coupon. A special call provision allows the issuer to redeem 10% of the notes annually at 103 during the non-call period.

The notes also feature a two-year 35% equity clawback and a 101% poison put.

The Philadelphia-based generic drug supplier plans to use the proceeds plus a new second-lien facility to refinance its term loan B.
