Debt

Long-term Debt

In December 2013, we issued $400 million of 3-year 0.875% Senior Notes ("the 2014 3-year notes") due December 2016, and $350 million of 5-year 2.000% Senior Notes ("the 2014 5-year notes") due December 2018, in an underwritten registered public offering. Interest on both of these notes is payable semi-annually on June 5 and December 5 of each year, commencing on June 5, 2014.

As discussed in Note 2, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability in cash flows due to changes in the benchmark interest rate related to anticipated debt issuances. The components of our long-term debt and the associated interest rates, including our effective interest rate, were as follows (in millions, except interest rate amounts):

The indentures under which the above notes were issued also require us to maintain compliance with certain covenants, including limits on future liens and sale and leaseback transactions on certain material properties. As of December 29, 2013, we were in compliance with each of these covenants.
