Note 8.  Debt

 

On January 24, 2014, we entered into a five-year term loan agreement with a syndicate of banks in the principal amount of $500 million. On January 30, 2014, we issued $250 million in 3.65% notes due 2021 and $350 million in 4.30% notes due 2024 under our shelf registration statement.  Upon the closing of the Beechcraft acquisition on March 14, 2014, we fully drew down on the five-year term loan and used the cash, along with the net proceeds of the issuance of the notes, to finance a portion of the acquisition.
