CLF issues $1B of 10-/30-year bonds to help pay for the $5B Consolidated Thomson acquisition (#msg-58708254):

The issue consists of $700M of 10-year bonds @4.9% and $300M of 30-year bonds @6.25%.

As previously noted, I have mixed feelings about this deal, which will surely require a large equity offering at some point. However, I’m glad that at least a portion of the deal will be funded with debt.

p.s. CLF was up 6% today.
