In conjunction with the debt redemptions, the Company terminated associated interest rate swap contracts related to the 6.0% Notes due 2013 and 4.125% Notes due 2014. As a result of the debt redemptions, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $453 million which was recorded within Other expense, net in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 28, 2012. The charge was comprised of the premium paid in the tender offers, write-off of the unamortized debt issuance costs and discount related to the extinguished notes, and a net gain recognized upon termination of the associated interest rate swap contracts.
Fiscal 2011 Debt Issuance/Repayment
On January 12, 2011, TIFSA issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Notes due on January 15, 2018 (the "2018 Notes") and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Notes due on January 15, 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), which were fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. TIFSA received total net proceeds of approximately $494 million after deducting debt issuance costs of approximately $1 million for the 2018 Notes and $2 million for the 2023 Notes, as well as debt discount of approximately $1 million for the 2018 Notes and $2 million for the 2023 Notes. The net proceeds of the aforementioned debt issuances, along with other available funds, were used to fund the repayment upon maturity of all of the Company's outstanding 6.75% Notes due February 2011 with a principal amount of $516 million. The 2018 Notes and the 2023 Notes are unsecured and rank equally with TIFSA's other unsecured and unsubordinated debt.
Prior to January 15, 2018 in the case of the 2018 Notes and prior to October 15, 2022 in the case of the 2023 Notes, TIFSA may redeem any of the notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of the principal amount of the notes of such series or a make-whole amount, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. On or after October 15, 2022, TIFSA may redeem the 2023 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of both the 2018 Notes and the 2023 Notes have the right to require TIFSA to repurchase all or a portion of the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event, which requires both a change of control and rating event, each as defined in the indenture governing the notes. The debt issuance costs will be amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity date of each series of the notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on January 15th and July 15th for both the 2018 Notes and 2023 Notes.
Commercial Paper
From time to time, TIFSA may issue commercial paper for general corporate purposes. The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, under the commercial paper program is $1 billion as of September 27, 2013. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, TIFSA had no commercial paper outstanding.
Credit Facilities
On June 22, 2012, TIFSA, as the Borrower, and the Company as the Guarantor, entered into a Five-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, expiring June 22, 2017, and providing for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $1.0 billion (the "2012 Credit Agreement"). In connection with entering into the 2012 Credit Agreement, TIFSA and the Company terminated the existing Four-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated March 24, 2011, which provided for revolving credit commitments in the aggregate amount of $750 million. Additionally, the Company's Five-Year Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, dated April 25, 2007 and as amended, terminated on September 28, 2012.
As a result of entering into the 2012 Credit Agreement and the terminations described above, the Company's committed revolving credit facility totaled $1.0 billion as of September 27, 2013. This revolving credit facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. As of September 27, 2013 and September 28, 2012, there were no amounts drawn under the Company's revolving credit facilities. Interest under the revolving credit facilities is variable and is calculated by reference to LIBOR or an alternate base rate.
