By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., Sept. 11 - Ancestry.com Holdings LLC priced an upsized $300 million issue of five-year senior PIK toggle notes (Caa1/CCC+/) at 99 to yield 9 7/8% on Wednesday, according to a syndicate source.

The yield printed in the middle of the 9¾% to 10% yield talk. The reoffer price came on top of price talk.

The cash coupon is 9 5/8%. The coupon steps up by 75 basis points, to 10 3/8%, in the event of a PIK coupon payment.

The issue was upsized from $250 million.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. and RBC Capital Markets are the joint bookrunners.

There is an equity clawback for 100% of the notes at 102 for the first two years with IPO proceeds.
