New Issue: Tutor Perini prices upsized $175 million five-year convertible notes to yield 2.875%, up 37.5%

New York, June 9 – Tutor Perini Corp. priced an upsized $175 million of five-year convertible senior notes with a 2.875% coupon and a 37.5% initial conversion premium.

The amount was increased from the planned $125 million and the deal came richer than talk for a yield of 3.25% to 3.75% and at the rich end of talk for an initial conversion premium of 32.5% to 37.5%.

There is a greenshoe for a further $25 million of convertibles, increased from $18.75 million.

The initial conversion price is $30.25.

Goldman Sachs & Co. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Inc. are joint bookrunners for the Rule 144A offering.

The notes are non-callable for three years and then become provisionally callable subject to the stock trading above 130% of the conversion price. There are no investor puts, and the notes will be settled in shares or cash or a combination of shares and cash.

Proceeds are being used to repay a portion of borrowings outstanding on bank facilities, including the company’s term loan and revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the offering, the company entered into a consent and second amendment to its credit facility, amending certain covenants to permit the company to perform its obligations under the convertible notes.

Los Angeles-based Tutor Perini is a general contracting and construction management company.
