[1] | Other consists of the unamortized proceeds received from unwinding of interest rate swaps, unamortized net debt discounts and the fair value adjustment of interest rate swaps.
[2] | Prior to the Tender Offer, we had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $450 million that effectively converted the fixed rate interest payments on these notes into variable interest rates. As a result of the Tender Offer, we unwound $225 million of these swap agreements.
[3] | During the first quarter, we completed a cash tender offer (the Tender Offer) for a portion of our 4.875% Notes due 2014, our 5.0% Notes due 2015, and our 4.75% Notes due 2016 (the Subject Notes). Holders who validly tendered their notes received the principal amount of the notes tendered, all accrued and unpaid interest and a premium amount. An aggregate $405 million of the Subject Notes were tendered. We recognized a net loss of $25 million, consisting of the payment of the call premium and transaction fees and the write-off of unamortized costs, partially offset by a gain from the unwinding of interest rate swap agreements as other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
[4] | During the first quarter, we issued $425 million of 6.7% fixed rate 30-year notes. Interest is payable quarterly. The notes mature in 2043, but may be redeemed, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 7, 2018 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We used the net proceeds from the notes to fund the Tender Offer.
