In May of 2020, the Company issued $500 million of ten-year 2.10% Notes due 2030, resulting in net proceeds after debt discount of $496 million. The proceeds from these notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the payment of offering related fees and expenses, repayment of a portion of the $600 million 4.00% Notes due 2020 when they mature on December 15, 2020, and repayment of a portion of commercial paper borrowings. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision.

losses on pre-issuance interest rate hedges, acceleration of unamortized debt discount and fees on the redeemed
debt and fees related to the tender offer.
