On June 16, 2011, Eaton issued $300 floating rate senior unsecured Notes due June 16, 2014 (the Notes). The Notes bear interest annually at a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month LIBOR rate for U.S. dollars plus 0.33%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. The Notes contain a provision which requires the Company to make an offer to purchase all or any part of the Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest if certain change of control events occur. The Notes are subject to customary non-financial covenants.
Eaton refinanced a $500, five-year revolving credit facility in June 2011 (the Facility). The Facility will expire June 16, 2016, replacing a $500 facility that had been set to expire on September 1, 2011. This refinancing maintains long-term revolving credit facilities at a total of $1,500, of which $500 expires in 2012, 2013 and 2016, respectively. These facilities support Eaton's commercial paper borrowings. There were no borrowings outstanding under these revolving credit facilities at December 31, 2011 or 2010.
Eaton is in compliance with each of its debt covenants for all periods presented.
