Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements |
Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements | Note 18. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements In November 2006 and April 2013, we issued senior unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, at fixed interest rates that were guaranteed by certain of our 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries that also guaranteed borrowings under our then existing credit agreement. We previously provided consolidated financial statements pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X “Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered.” The subsidiary guarantors guaranteeing the notes issued under the Indentures were automatically released on September 30, 2016 upon entering into the Credit Agreement, which does not require subsidiary guarantees.
