[1] Effective January 2012, $500 million of the U.S. Term Loans have been swapped to a fixed rate of 0.60% plus the specified spread under the Senior Credit Agreement through January 2014. Effective March 2012, an additional $350 million of the U.S. Term Loans have been swapped to a fixed rate of 0.45% plus the specified spread under the Senior Credit Agreement through March 2014. Effective June 2012, $750 million of the currently effective swaps have been extended to maturities ranging from March 2016 to November 2016, thereby fixing a rate of 0.91% plus the specified spread on the underlying U.S. Term Loans, for the extension period. As of December 31, 2012, the specified spread under the Senior Credit Agreement was 175 basis points. These swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges of the variability in interest expense related to our variable rate debt.
