During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2013, the Company repaid $109 million of indebtedness at maturity.
On March 29, 2012, the Company redeemed the $173 million of 8.0% senior debentures due July 15, 2012, as allowed under the terms of the indenture. The price for the redemption was calculated pursuant to the indenture and resulted in the recognition of additional interest expense of $4 million. In addition, the Company repaid $616 million of 5.35% senior notes due March 15, 2012 at maturity.
On September 6, 2013, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior notes due 2023. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, retirement of indebtedness and repurchasing outstanding common stock.
During the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 27.6 million shares of its common stock pursuant to existing stock purchase authorizations for a total of approximately $1,254 million. As of November 2, 2013, the Company had $1,748 million of authorization remaining under its share repurchase program. The Company may continue or, from time to time, suspend repurchases of shares under its share repurchase program, depending on prevailing market conditions, alternate uses of capital and other factors.
The Company entered into a credit agreement with certain financial institutions on May 10, 2013 providing for revolving credit borrowings and letters of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500 million (which may be increased to $1,750 million at the option of the Company, subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to provide commitments for such additional financing) outstanding at any particular time. This agreement is set to expire May 10, 2018 and replaces the previous facility which was set to expire June 20, 2015. As of and during the 39 weeks ended November 2, 2013, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its then existing credit agreements, and as of the date of this report, the Company does not expect to borrow under its new credit agreement during fiscal 2013.
