(1) | On June 29, 2018, the Company redeemed $1.6 billion of its $2.65 billion Senior Notes with an original maturity date of October 5, 2018. These notes were fully hedged with interest rate swaps. As part of the transaction, HPE terminated and settled a proportional amount of the hedges, as well as allocated a proportional amount of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs to the retired debt. These costs, along with the redemption price of $1.6 billion resulted in an immaterial loss.
(2) | Other, including capital lease obligations includes $143 million and $160 million as of July 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, respectively, of borrowing- and funding-related activity associated with FS and its subsidiaries that are collateralized by receivables and underlying assets associated with the related capital and operating leases. For both the periods presented, the carrying amount of the assets approximated the carrying amount of the borrowings.
As disclosed in Note 12, "Financial Instruments", the Company uses interest rate swaps to mitigate the exposure of its debt portfolio to changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates by achieving a primarily U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating interest expense. As of July 31, 2018, the Company had entered into interest rate swaps to reduce the exposure of $7.9 billion of aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior notes to changes in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates by achieving LIBOR-based floating interest expense. Interest rates on long-term debt in the table above have not been adjusted to reflect the impact of any interest rate swaps.
