New York, July 7 – Saipem SpA priced €500 million of 3 3/8% six-year notes (Ba1/BB+) at par on Tuesday, according to a market source.
Pricing was tight to initial talk in the 3¾% area.
BNP Paribas, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs are joint global coordinators for the Regulation S offering, and Banca IMI, Banco Santander, Barclays, HSBC, JPMorgan, Mediobanca, Morgan Stanley and UniCredit are passive bookrunners.
The notes were issued by Saipem Finance International BV.

The notes are callable at a make-whole premium prior to their three-month par call. There is also a clean-up call if only 20% of the issue remains outstanding, and there is a change-of-control provision.
The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
