On May 14, 2019, a subsidiary of Eaton issued euro denominated notes (2019 Euro Notes) with a face value of €1,100 ($1,232 based on the May 14, 2019 spot rate), in accordance with Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2019 Euro Notes are comprised of two tranches of €600 and €500, which mature in 2021 and 2025, respectively, with interest payable annually at a respective rate of 0.02% and 0.70%. The issuer received proceeds totaling €1,097 ($1,229 based on the May 14, 2019 spot rate) from the issuance, net of financing costs and discounts. The 2019 Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsubordinated, unsecured basis by Eaton and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The 2019 Euro Notes contain customary optional redemption and par call provisions. The 2019 Euro Notes also contain a change of control provision which requires the Company to make an offer to purchase all or any part of the 2019 Euro 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 2019 Euro Notes. The 2019 Euro Notes are subject to customary non-financial covenants.
