Debt issuances and repayments

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we issued debt securities in the following offerings:

• In February 2020, we issued $5.0 billion of debt consisting of $500 million of the 1.90% 2025 Notes, $750 million of the 2.20% 2027 Notes, $1.25 billion of the 2.45% 2030 Notes, $1.25 billion of the 3.15% 2040 Notes and $1.25 billion of the 3.375% 2050 Notes.

• In May 2020, we issued $4.0 billion of debt, including $1.0 billion of the 2.20% 2027 Notes, $750 million of the 3.15% 2040 Notes and $1.0 billion of the 3.375% 2050 Notes, which represents a further issuance of, and which forms a single series with, each of the corresponding series of notes issued in February 2020, and $1.25 billion of 2.30% 2031 Notes.

In the event of a change-in-control triggering event, as defined in the terms of the notes, we may be required to purchase all or a portion of these notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, these notes may be redeemed at any time at our option, in whole or in part, at the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make-whole” amount, which are defined by the terms of the notes. The notes may be redeemed without payment of make-whole amounts if redemption occurs during specified periods of time immediately prior to the maturity of the notes. Such time periods range from one month to six months prior to maturity.

A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the notes in February 2020 was used to redeem the 3.45% 2020 Notes, the 4.10% 2021 Notes, the 1.85% 2021 Notes and the $300 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.875% 2021 Notes. In connection with the redemption of these notes, we paid a total of $50 million in make-whole amounts plus associated accrued and unpaid interest, all of which was recognized in Interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition to these redemptions, the 4.50% 2020 Notes, the 2.125% 2020 Notes, the Floating Rate 2020 Notes and the 2.20% 2020 Notes matured and were repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Interest rate swaps

In connection with the redemption of certain of the notes discussed above, associated interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $2.2 billion were terminated. In addition, because of historically low interest rates, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we terminated interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $5.2 billion that hedged the 3.625% 2024 Notes, the 2.60% 2026 Notes, the 4.663% 2051 Notes and portions of the 3.625% 2022 Notes and 3.125% 2025 Notes, which resulted in the receipt of $576 million of cash and reduced counterparty credit risk. Immediately following the terminations of these contracts, we entered into new interest rate swap agreements at then-current interest rates on the same $5.2 billion principal amount of notes. See Note 12, Derivative instruments.

The effective interest rates on notes for which we have entered into interest rate swap contracts and the related notional amounts of these contracts were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):


	September 30, 2020			December 31, 2019
Notes	Notional amounts		Effective interest rates	Notional amounts		Effective interest rates
3.45% 2020 Notes	$	—	LIBOR + 1.1%	$	900	LIBOR + 1.1%
4.10% 2021 Notes	—		LIBOR + 1.7%	1,000		LIBOR + 1.7%
3.875% 2021 Notes	1,450		LIBOR + 2.0%	1,750		LIBOR + 2.0%
3.625% 2022 Notes	750		LIBOR + 2.7%	750		LIBOR + 1.6%
3.625% 2024 Notes	1,400		LIBOR + 3.2%	1,400		LIBOR + 1.4%
3.125% 2025 Notes	1,000		LIBOR + 1.8%	1,000		LIBOR + 0.9%
2.60% 2026 Notes	1,250		LIBOR + 1.8%	1,250		LIBOR + 0.3%
4.663% 2051 Notes(1)	1,500		LIBOR + 2.6%	1,500		LIBOR + 0.0%
Total notional amounts	$	7,350		$	9,550

____________

(1) Excludes an additional 1.5% of interest for the difference between the coupon rate paid to noteholders and the fixed rate received under the interest rate swap contracts.

Debt exchange

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we completed a private offering to exchange portions of certain outstanding senior notes due 2037 through 2043 (collectively, Old Notes), listed below, for the $940 million principal amount of the newly issued 2.77% 2053 Notes (the Exchange Offer).

The following principal amounts of each series of Old Notes were validly tendered and subsequently cancelled in connection with the Exchange Offer (in millions):


	Principal amount exchanged
6.375% 2037 Notes	$	74
6.90% 2038 Notes	37
6.40% 2039 Notes	133
5.75% 2040 Notes	39
5.15% 2041 Notes	245
5.65% 2042 Notes	72
5.375% 2043 Notes	76

The 2.77% 2053 Notes bear interest at a lower fixed coupon rate while requiring higher principal repayment at a later maturity date as compared to those of the Old Notes that were exchanged. There were no other significant changes to the terms between the Old Notes and the 2.77% 2053 Notes. In connection with the Exchange Offer, $85 million was paid to holders of the Old Notes (the cash consideration).

The Exchange Offer was accounted for as a debt modification, and accordingly, deferred financing costs and discounts associated with the Old Notes, the cash consideration and the $264 million discount associated with the 2.77% 2053 Notes are being accreted over the term of these newly issued notes and recorded as Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
