NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Residential Capital LLC, better known as ResCap, on Tuesday sold $2.25 billion of debt in the investment-grade corporate bond market.
The $1 billion, two-year, floating-rate tranche of the offering sold at 110 basis points over the London interbank offered rate and the $1.25 billion, five-year, fixed-rate tranche sold at 183 basis points over Treasurys, according to a syndicate source.
