Portland, Ore., May 18 - Mastro's Restaurant, LLC priced a $102 million issue of five-year senior secured notes (expected ratings Caa1/B-) at par to yield 12% on Friday, according to an informed source.

The notes pay a 12% cash coupon. In addition the notes will pay a 3% PIK coupon until the first interest payment date as of which the adjusted last 12 months consolidated cash flow for the two most recently completed consecutive fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available is at least $20.4 million.
