Hyatt priced $500 million each of three- and seven-year fixed-rate bonds. The three-year notes yield 1.05 percentage point more than Treasuries, with the premium 1.55 percentage point for the seven-year debt.

The deal was one of six US investment-grade transactions Monday, as borrowers hit the market ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting.

The offering by Hyatt includes a special mandatory redemption clause, which requires the company to redeem the notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest if the Playa acquisition is not completed by Oct. 9 or if the purchase agreement is terminated. The bond sale wasn’t contingent on the completion of the acquisition.
