CHS adds $200M to debt sale

It appears the move by Community Health Systems to redeem its 2015 debt by issuing 2020 notes has been well received. The morning after announcing it would aim to sell $1 billion in eight-year notes, CHS executives filed papers with the Securities and Exchange Commission saying it had signed an underwriting agreement with a bank group led by Credit Suisse to bring to market $1.2 billion. The company (Ticker: CYH) also will have an interest that is 1.75 percent lower than for the 2015 paper.
