Oil and gas company Afren PLC (AFR.LN), guaranteed by Afren Nigeria Holdings, set price guidance on its seven-year bond to yield 10.5% to 10.75%, one of the banks on the deal said Wednesday.

The size of the issue is $300-350 million.

The company did a series of global investor meetings ahead of the bond sale, in London and in the U.S., throughout this week. Pricing is expected Thursday.

BNP Paribas SA, Deutsche Bank AG and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are lead managers on the deal.

The issuer is rated B- by Standard & Poor's Corp. and B by Fitch Ratings.

Proceeds will be used to repay existing debt and general corporate purposes.
