Harrah’s sells $1 billion in 10-, 12-year senior notes

Thursday, Sept. 22, 2005 | 9:35 a.m.

Harrah's Entertainment Inc. sold $1 billion in 10- and 12-year notes to repay debt.

The company privately placed $250 million of its 5.625 percent senior notes due in 2015 and $750 million of its 5.75 percent senior notes due in 2017, Las Vegas-based Harrah's said in a statement sent today by Business Wire.

The 10-year notes represent a reopening of a sale of notes that originally priced in May. A person familiar with the offering earlier today said that Citibank Inc. and the Royal Bank of Scotland Plc would manage the 10-year sale while Barclays Plc and Citibank would arrange the 12-year debt.

The debt of Las Vegas-based Harrah's will be rated Baa3 at Moody's Investors Service, and BBB- at Standard & Poor's, the lowest investment-grade ratings.
