Hilltop Holdings in Lubbock, Texas, plans to issue $150 million in senior debt.

The $8.7 billion-asset company said in a regulatory filing that it expects to issue the 5% senior notes to institutional investors on Thursday.

Hilltop said it plans to use the capital raised from the debt issue to redeem $114.1 million in non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and general corporate purposes.

A Hilltop spokeswoman said Tuesday that the preferred stock being eyed for redemption was issued as part of the Treasury Department's Small Business Lending Fund.
