By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., May 7 - Safway Group Holdings LLC priced an upsized $560 million issue of five-year senior secured second-lien notes (B3/B/) at par to yield 7% on Tuesday, according to a market source.

The deal was upsized from $540 million.

The yield printed 12.5 basis points inside of yield talk set in the 7¼% area.

Goldman Sachs & Co., Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Barclays and Lazard Capital Markets LLC managed the sale.
