17. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Debt

We have classified a 3.75% Eurobond for €300 ($385) maturing in November 2013 as long-term debt because we have the ability to refinance the debt under our $2,170.0 committed credit facility maturing in June 2015. Our current intent is to refinance this debt via the U.S. or European public or private placement markets.

On 4 February 2013, we issued a $400.0 senior fixed-rate 2.75% note that matures on 3 February 2023.

Share Repurchase Program

On 15 September 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1,000 of our outstanding common stock. We repurchase shares pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through repurchase agreements established with several brokers. During the first six months of fiscal year 2013, we purchased 5.7 million of our outstanding shares at a cost of $461.6. At 31 March 2013, $485.3 in share repurchase authorization remains.
