In February 2013, CECONY issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 3.95 percent 30-year debentures and redeemed at maturity $500 million of 4.875 percent 10-year debentures.

Fair values of long-term debt have been estimated primarily using available market information. For Con Edison, $12,327 million and $636 million of the fair value of long-term debt at March 31, 2013 are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. For CECONY, $11,156 million and $636 million of the fair value of long-term debt at March 31, 2013 are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively (see Note L). The $636 million of long-term debt classified as Level 3 is CECONY’s tax-exempt, auction-rate securities for which the market is highly illiquid and there is a lack of observable inputs.
