By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Seattle, March 28 – Scorpio Tankers Inc. is offering $25-par senior notes due June 1, 2019, the company said in a prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.

Initial price talk is 8.25%, according to a market source.

Stifel Nicolaus & Co. Inc. and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC are the joint bookrunners. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. and Wunderlich Securities are the co-managers.

Interest will be payable on a quarterly basis. The notes become redeemable on or after Dec. 1, 2018 at par plus accrued interest. The notes are also redeemable in whole upon a tax event.

The company has applied to list the new securities on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SBBC.”

The New York-based seaborne oil transporter intends to use proceeds to fund a portion of a tender offer for the 7.5% $25-par notes coming due in October and to repay any notes not tendered.
