During the quarter ended June 28, 2013, the Company repaid the $300 million of floating rate senior notes due 2013 upon maturity in June.

During the six months ended June 28, 2013, holders of certain of the Company’s LYONs converted such LYONs into an aggregate of approximately 4.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company’s deferred tax liability associated with the book and tax basis difference in the converted LYONs of approximately $39 million was transferred to additional paid-in capital as a result of the conversions.

The Company satisfies any short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flow and available cash primarily through issuances of commercial paper under its U.S. and Euro commercial paper programs. As of June 28, 2013, borrowings outstanding under the Company’s U.S. commercial paper program had a weighted average annual interest rate of 0.2% and a weighted average remaining maturity of approximately twenty-two days. There was no commercial paper outstanding under the Euro commercial paper program as of June 28, 2013. As of June 28, 2013, the Company classified its borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper programs, as well as its Eurobond notes due July 22, 2013 and its 1.3% senior notes due June 23, 2014, as long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as the Company has the intent and ability, as supported by availability under the Credit Facility referenced below, to refinance these borrowings for at least one year from the balance sheet date.

Credit support for the commercial paper program is provided by a $2.5 billion unsecured multi-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that expires on July 15, 2016 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility can also be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of June 28, 2013, no borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the facility. In addition to the Credit Facility, the Company has entered into reimbursement agreements with various commercial banks to support the issuance of letters of credit.
