Bank credit facilities consist of various committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions utilized primarily to support the working capital requirements of foreign operations. The weighted average interest rate on the bank credit facilities was 7.8% and 4.0% at the end of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. In connection with acquisitions completed in fiscal 2011 (see Note 2), the Company assumed debt of $420,259,000, of which $211,933,000 was repaid (including associated fees) at the acquisition dates. As of the end of the fiscal 2011, the outstanding balances associated with the assumed debt and credit facilities consisted of $16,627,000 in bank credit facilities and other debt primarly used to support the acquired foreign operations. The total debt assumed during fiscal 2011 included the 3.75% Notes due March 2024 acquired from Bell which had a fair value of $110,000,000 and that has substantially been repaid as is discussed further below.
In August 2010, the Company amended its accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with a group of financial institutions to allow the Company to sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest of up to $600,000,000 ($450,000,000 prior to the amendment) in eligible receivables while retaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the receivables. The Program does not qualify for sale treatment and, as a result, any borrowings under the Program are recorded as debt on the consolidated balance sheet. The Program contains certain covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of July 2, 2011. The Program has a one year term that expires in August 2011 which is expected to be renewed for another year on comparable terms. There were $160,000,000 in borrowings outstanding under the Program at July 2, 2011 and no amounts outstanding at July 3, 2010. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.425%. The facility fee is 0.50%.

In June 2010, the Company issued $300,000,000 of 5.875% Notes due June 15, 2020. The Company received proceeds of $296,469,000 from the offering, net of discount and underwriting fees. The 5.875% Notes due 2020 rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured debt and interest is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15.
The Company has a five-year $500,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks which expires in September 2012. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company may elect from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of July 2, 2011. As of the end of fiscal 2011, there were $122,093,000 in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement included in “other long-term debt” in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, there were $16,602,000 in letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement which represent a utilization of the Credit Agreement capacity but are not recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as the letters of credit are not debt. At July 3, 2010, there were $93,682,000 in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $8,597,000 in letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.
As a result of the acquisition of Bell, the Company assumed 3.75% Notes due March 2024 which had a fair value of $110,000,000 and that were convertible into Bell common stock; however, as of the acquisition completion date, the debt was no longer convertible into shares. Under the terms of the 3.75% Notes, the Company could have redeemed some or all of the 3.75% Notes for cash anytime on or after March 5, 2011 and the note holders could have required the Company to purchase for cash some or all of the 3.75% Notes on March 5, 2011, March 5, 2014 or March 5, 2019 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus interest. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company issued a tender offer for the 3.75% Notes for which $5,205,000 was tendered and paid in September 2010. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the note holders tendered substantially all of the remaining notes for which $104,395,000 was paid in March 2011. The remaining $400,000 that was not tendered were included in “other long-term debt” in the preceeding table.
