By Andrea Heisinger

New York, May 9 - Brinker International, Inc. gave the terms of its $550 million crossover trade of senior notes (Ba2/BBB-/BBB-) sold in two tranches in an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Thursday.

There was a $250 million tranche of 2.6% five-year notes sold at 99.93 to yield 2.615% with a spread of 187.5 basis points over Treasuries.

The tranche has a make-whole call at Treasuries plus 30 bps.

A second part was $300 million of 3.875% 10-year notes priced at 99.901 to yield 3.887% with a spread of 212.5 bps over Treasuries.
