On September 11, 2015, we offered and sold €400.0 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 1.875% notes due September 11, 2022 (the "Notes"). The net proceeds from the Notes of €397.4 will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include share repurchases and the acquisition of or investment in complementary businesses or other assets. The Notes were issued at a price of 99.753% to yield an effective interest rate of 1.913%. Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on September 11 of each year. The Notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured debt and other liabilities.
On September 16, 2015, we amended and restated our Five Year Credit Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with a syndicate of commercial banks primarily to revise the termination date of the facility from October 15, 2018 to September 16, 2020. The remaining material terms and conditions of the Amended Agreement are substantially similar to the material terms and conditions of our Amended and Restated Five Year Credit Agreement dated October 15, 2013.
In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated liability, consistent with debt discounts. It does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. We elected to early adopt this guidance in the third quarter of 2015 on a retrospective basis, which required the restatement of prior periods. The adoption was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our revolving credit agreement is not in scope of the new accounting guidance and, therefore, the related debt issuance costs will continue to be presented in other assets.
