New Issue: Autodesk prices $750 million of five-, 10-year notes

By Andrea Heisinger

New York, Dec. 10 - Autodesk, Inc. was in the market on Monday with a $750 million sale of notes (Baa2/BBB/) in two tranches, a market source said.

This was the company's first bond sale, the source said.

A $400 million tranche of 1.95% five-year notes priced at 98.985 to yield 2.165% with a spread of Treasuries plus 155 basis points. Pricing was at the tight end of guidance that was in the 160 bps area, plus or minus 5 bps.

The tranche has a make-whole call at 25 bps over Treasuries.

A $350 million tranche of 3.6% 10-year notes sold at 99.866 to yield 3.616% with a spread of Treasuries plus 200 bps. The notes sold at the lowest end of guidance in the 205 bps area, plus or minus 5 bps.

There is a make-whole call at 30 bps over Treasuries for the notes until Sept. 15, 2022, and a par call after that date.

There was a do-not-grow provision on the deal size.

The notes feature a change-of-control put at 101%.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC were the bookrunners.

Proceeds will be used to repay $80 million under a revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

The design software and services company is based in San Rafael, Calif.
