Debt Obligations and Commitments

 

In the first quarter of 2012, we issued:

 

   

$750 million of 0.750% senior notes maturing in 2015;

 

   

$1.250 billion of 2.750% senior notes maturing in 2022; and

 

   

$750 million of 4.000% senior notes maturing in 2042.

The net proceeds from the issuances of the above notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper.

As of March 24, 2012, we had $1.2 billion of commercial paper outstanding.

Long-Term Contractual Commitments(a)

 

Most long-term contractual commitments, except for our long-term debt obligations, are not recorded on our balance sheet. Non-cancelable operating leases primarily represent building leases. Non-cancelable purchasing commitments are primarily for packaging materials, sugar and other sweeteners, oranges and orange juice. Non-cancelable marketing commitments are primarily for sports marketing. Bottler funding to independent bottlers is not reflected in our long-term contractual commitments as it is negotiated on an annual basis. Accrued liabilities for pension and retiree medical plans are not reflected in our long-term contractual commitments because they do not represent expected future cash outflows. See Pension and Retiree Medical Benefits for additional information regarding our pension and retiree medical obligations.
