TUI Travel (TT.LN), a travel company, said Tuesday it has completed its GBP400 million offering of convertible bonds due 2017, adding proceeds will be used alongside other financing measures to ensure it is well placed to exploit its strong pipeline of acquisition opportunities.

MAIN FACTS:

-Proceeds will also be used to extend and diversify its debt maturity profile and broaden its sources of finance; and reduce the need to refinance all of the existing bank facilities in the future (due in June 2012).

-The conversion price has been set at 3.8234 pence per share, which represents a premium of 33% over the volume weighted average price of TUI Travel's ordinary shares from launch to pricing.

-The coupon has been set at 4.9% per annum payable semi-annually in arrear.

-Settlement is expected to occur on or around April 27.

-At 1715 GMT shares up 1 pence, or 0.3%, at 289.2 pence.
