Netflix upsizes; Heartland prices wide; Alliance One drops; ArcelorMittal active

By Abigail W. Adams

Portland, Me., April 23 – The domestic high-yield primary market started the week off by pricing $2.21 billion in new paper on Monday with the forward calendar growing.

Netflix, Inc. priced an upsized $1.9 billion issue of non-callable 10.5-year senior notes (Ba3/B+) at par to yield 5 7/8% in a quick-to-market Monday trade.

The notes had a lackluster reception in the secondary market, as the internet television network’s 5 7/8% senior notes due 2028 traded down.

Heartland Dental, LLC priced a $310 million issue of eight-year senior notes (Caa2/CCC) at par to yield 8½%.

Also in primary news Monday, Neptune Energy Group Midco Ltd. began a roadshow for a $500 million offering of seven-year senior notes (B2) and Jagged Peak Energy Inc. announced plans to sell $400 million of eight-year senior notes during the April 23 week.

As the primary market brought new paper into junkbondland, the secondary space was “a little sloppy,” with the market down about ¼-point, market sources said.

Among existing bonds, Alliance One International, Inc.’s 9 7/8% senior secured second-lien notes due 2021 dropped 2 points during Monday’s session.

ArcelorMittal SA’s junk bonds were active although with little change on Monday. The Luxemburg-based steel and mining company may be allowed to submit a fresh bid for Essar Steel, India’s leading flat steel manufacturer.
