Good reviews may have helped Unum Group Corp. (NYSE:UNM) sell more debt securities than it originally had expected to issue.
Unum, Chattanooga, Tenn., says the securities are senior notes due in 2020 that pay an interest rate of 5.625%.
Unum ended up offering $400 million in notes; originally, it had expected to sell notes with a total principal amount of just $300 million.
Unum can issue a “make whole call” to redeem the notes at any time at a discount rate of Treasury plus 45 basis points.
