1 Real properties with an aggregate book value of $33 million were pledged as collateral at January 29, 2016, for secured
debt.

the issue at par value. None of these notes are currently puttable.
3 In connection with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, prior year
debt balances have been retrospectively adjusted to include a direct deduction of unamortized debt issuance costs. Prior to
the Company’s adoption of ASU 2015-03, these unamortized debt issuance costs were included in other assets on the
Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Debt maturities, exclusive of unamortized original issue discounts, unamortized debt issuance costs, and capitalized lease
obligations, for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: 2016, $1.0 billion; 2017, $751 million; 2018, $251 million;
2019, $450 million; 2020, $501 million; thereafter, $9.2 billion.
The Company’s unsecured notes are issued under indentures that have generally similar terms and, therefore, have been
grouped by maturity date for presentation purposes in the table above. The notes contain certain restrictive covenants, none of
which is expected to impact the Company’s capital resources or liquidity. The Company was in compliance with all covenants
of these agreements at January 29, 2016.
In September 2013, the Company issued $1.0 billion of unsecured notes in two tranches: $500 million of 3.875% notes
maturing in September 2023 and $500 million of 5.0% notes maturing in September 2043. The 2023 and 2043 notes were
issued at discounts of approximately $5 million and $9 million, respectively. Interest on these notes is payable semiannually in
arrears in March and September of each year until maturity, beginning in March 2014.
In September 2014, the Company issued $1.25 billion of unsecured notes in three tranches: $450 million of floating rate notes
maturing in September 2019; $450 million of 3.125% notes maturing in September 2024; and $350 million of 4.25% notes
maturing in September 2044. The 2019, 2024, and 2044 Notes were issued at discounts of approximately $2 million, $6
million, and $4 million, respectively. The 2019 Notes will bear interest at a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three-
month LIBOR plus 0.420% (0.907% as of January 29, 2016). Interest on the 2019 Notes is payable quarterly in arrears in
March, June, September, and December of each year until maturity, beginning in December 2014. Interest on the 2024 and
2044 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears in March and September of each year until maturity, beginning in March 2015.
In September 2015, the Company issued $1.75 billion of unsecured notes in three tranches: $250 million of floating rate notes
maturing in September 2018; $750 million of 3.375% notes maturing in September 2025; and $750 million of 4.375% notes
maturing in September 2045. The 2018, 2025, and 2045 Notes were issued at discounts of approximately $1 million, $8
million, and $24 million, respectively. The 2018 Notes will bear interest at a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three-
