Debt	Unsecured Debt At August 31, 2013, our short-term borrowings consisted of commercial paper of $104 million and euro bank loans of $92 million, with an aggregate weighted-average interest rate of 1.0%. In December 2012, we issued $500 million of publicly-traded notes, which bear interest at 1.9% and are due in December 2017. We used the net proceeds of these notes for general corporate purposes. In February 2013, we issued $500 million of publicly-traded notes, which bear interest at 1.2% and are due in February 2016. The proceeds were used to repay a like amount of floating rate export credit facilities prior to their maturity dates through 2022. In March 2013, we borrowed $311 million under a euro-denominated export credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay for a portion of AIDAstella's purchase price. This floating rate facility is due in semi-annual installments through March 2025. In May 2013, we borrowed $526 million under an export credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to pay for a portion of Royal Princess' purchase price. This floating rate facility is due in semi-annual installments through May 2025. In July 2013, we entered into a five-year $150 million floating rate bank loan, which is due in November 2018. We plan to borrow under this loan in November 2013 and to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes. In August 2013, we entered into a $265 million euro-denominated floating rate revolving bank loan facility. This facility has a perpetual term, although we can terminate it at any time and the bank can terminate the facility at any time upon nine months notice. The facility can be drawn beginning in May 2014. In September 2013, we entered into a seven-year $300 million floating rate revolver, which expires in September 2020 and provides us with additional liquidity.
