2 | We included our 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “4.75% Notes”) in the current portion of long-term debt on our December 31, 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheet because holders of the 4.75% Notes had an option to require us to repurchase their Notes for cash, stock or a combination, at our election, at par on March 15, 2013. The 4.75% Notes were retired in the first quarter of 2013.
Debt Transactions 10.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2017 In July 2013, we redeemed all $600.0 in aggregate principal amount of the 10.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2017 (the "10.00% Notes"). Total cash paid to redeem the 10.00% Notes was $630.0. In connection with the redemption of the 10.00% Notes, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $45.2, which included a redemption premium of $30.0, the write-off of the remaining unamortized discount of $7.3 and unamortized debt issuance costs of $7.9. The loss on early extinguishment of debt was recorded in other (expense) income, net within our unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations. 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 In March 2013, we retired all $200.0 in aggregate principal amount of our 4.75% Notes. Of the amount retired, $199.997 in aggregate principal amount of the 4.75% Notes was converted, at the election of the holders, into Interpublic common stock at a conversion rate of 84.3402 shares (actual number) per $1,000 (actual number) principal amount, or approximately 16.9 shares. Capped Call In November 2010, we purchased capped call options to hedge the risk of price appreciation on the shares of our common stock into which our 4.75% Notes were convertible. In March 2013, we exercised our capped call options and elected net share settlement. We received a total of 1.5 settlement shares from the option counterparties as a result of exercising these options. Interest Rate Swaps We enter into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. In March and April 2012, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 to effectively lock in the benchmark rate for a forecasted issuance of debt to occur prior to December 31, 2013. These swaps qualified for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges, and, as such, the effective portion of the losses on the swaps was recorded in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion of the losses on the swaps was recorded in other (expense) income, net. In November 2012, we terminated these swaps when we issued our 3.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "3.75% Notes"). The deferred losses on the swaps, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, are amortized as an increase to interest expense over the term of the 3.75% Notes. During the first nine months of 2013, we reclassified $1.3 from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense. Over the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $1.8 from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense in our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Credit Agreement We maintain a committed corporate credit facility to increase our financial flexibility (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement is a revolving facility expiring in May 2016, under which amounts borrowed by us or any of our subsidiaries designated under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed, subject to an aggregate lending limit of $1,000.0 or the equivalent in other currencies. The aggregate available amount of letters of credit outstanding may decrease or increase, subject to a sublimit on letters of credit of $200.0 or the equivalent in other currencies. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are unsecured. We were in compliance with all of our covenants in the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2013.
