On September 15, 2017, a subsidiary of Eaton issued senior notes (the Notes) with a face amount of $1,000. The Notes are comprised of two tranches of $700 and $300, which mature in 2027 and 2047, respectively, with interest payable semi-annually at a respective rate of 3.1% and 3.9%. The issuer received proceeds totaling $993 from the issuance, net of financing costs. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsubordinated, unsecured basis by Eaton and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Notes contain customary optional redemption and par call provisions. The Notes also contain a change of control provision which requires the Company to make an offer to purchase all or any part of the Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The capitalized deferred financing fees are amortized in Interest expense-net over the respective terms of the Notes. The Notes are subject to customary non-financial covenants.
