American Tower looks to raise $250M though private placement

BOSTON-American Tower Corp. announced it is seeking to raise $250 million through a private placement of senior notes.

The company plans to use all net proceeds to redeem a portion of its 9.375-percent senior notes due 2009.

Analysts from Raymond James & Associates Inc. said the move should cut interest expenses and raise free cash flow for American Tower.
