Less current portion

(1,516.8)

(18.2)

Long-term debt

$5,464.7

$6,770.5

 

In March 2009, we issued $2.40 billion of fixed-rate notes with interest to be paid semi-annually.

 

The 6.55 percent Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) debentures were repaid in full during the year ended December 31, 2011. The balance was $63.7 million at December 31, 2010, and is included in Other in the table above.

 

The aggregate amounts of maturities on long-term debt for the next five years are as follows: 2012, $1.51 billion; 2013, $10.2 million; 2014, $1.01 billion; 2015, $5.3 million; and 2016, $201.2 million.

 

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, short-term borrowings included $5.5 million and $137.8 million, respectively, of notes payable to banks. At December 31, 2011, we have $1.24 billion of unused committed bank credit facilities, $1.20 billion of which backs our commercial paper program and matures in April 2015. There were no amounts outstanding under the facility as of or during the year ended December 31, 2011. Compensating balances and commitment fees are not material, and there are no conditions that are probable of occurring under which the lines may be withdrawn.

 

In September 2010, we borrowed $125.0 million of short-term floating-rate debt, which was repaid in full during the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

We have converted approximately 70 percent of all fixed-rate debt to floating rates through the use of interest rate swaps. The weighted-average effective borrowing rates based on debt obligations and interest rates at December 31, 2011 and 2010, including the effects of interest rate swaps for hedged debt obligations, were 3.00 percent and 2.87 percent, respectively.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, cash payments of interest on borrowings totaled $167.4 million, $176.3 million, and $205.9 million, respectively, net of capitalized interest.

 

In accordance with the requirements of derivatives and hedging guidance, the portion of our fixed-rate debt obligations that is hedged is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as an amount equal to the sum of the debt's carrying value plus the fair value adjustment representing changes in fair value of the hedged debt attributable to movements in market interest rates subsequent to the inception of the hedge.
