New Issue: Abu Dhabi National Energy prices $2 billion bonds in at Treasuries plus 155 bps, plus 175 bps

By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Oct. 19 - Abu Dhabi National Energy priced $2 billion of bonds on Friday in two tranches (Aa2/AA-).

The five-year tranche has a 5.62% coupon and priced at par with a spread of Treasuries plus 155 basis points. The five-year bonds were talked earlier at Treasuries plus 150 basis points.

The 10-year bonds have a 6.165% coupon and were also priced at par with a spread of Treasuries plus 175 basis points. The tranche came in line with talk for a spread of Treasuries plus 175 basis points.

Citigroup and Toronto Dominion are the bookrunners.

There is a change of control clause, a source familiar with the bonds said Friday, that will cancel the bonds if Abu Dhabi ownership falls below 50%.

The offering, the familiar source said Friday, has been "hanging around for quite some time."
