By Andrea Heisinger

New York, Jan. 21 - Total Capital SA and Total Capital Canada Ltd. sold an upsized $2 billion of notes (Aa1/AA/AA) in three tranches on Friday, an informed source said.

The deal size was increased from $1.25 billion in two parts. A $750 million tranche of three-year floating-rate notes was added on reverse inquiry, the source said.

Total Capital Canada was issuer of both tranches with three-year maturities. Total Capital was issuer of the 10-year notes.

The $750 million of 1.625% three-year notes priced at 99.796 to yield 1.695% with a spread of Treasuries plus 65 basis points. They have a make-whole call at 10 bps over Treasuries.

A $500 million tranche of 4.125% 10-year notes sold at 99.248 to yield 4.218% with a spread of 80 bps over Treasuries. The notes have a make-whole call at 15 bps over Treasuries.

The $750 million of three-year floaters were sold at par to yield three-month Libor plus 38 bps.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. were the active bookrunners. Passive bookrunners were RBS Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC.

Proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes.
