Senior Notes
In fiscal 2013, we issued $1.0 billion of Senior Notes consisting of the 3.95% Senior Notes due in 2022 and
the 2.75% Senior Notes due in 2017. We received proceeds of $996 million, net of an issuance discount. We also
incurred issuance costs of $6 million in fiscal 2013. In fiscal 2011, we issued $750 million of the 4.20% Senior
Notes due in 2020.
Our Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank equally in right of payment with all of our
existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and are redeemable by us at any time, subject to a
“make-whole” premium. Interest on our Senior Notes is payable semiannually. Both the discount and issuance
costs are being amortized as incremental interest expense over the respective terms of the Senior Notes. The
principal balance of our 2.75% Senior Notes due September 15, 2015 matured and was settled by a cash payment
of $350 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Contractual interest expense totaled $68 million, $73
million, and $73 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.
Convertible Senior Notes
On March 4, 2016 (the “Issuance Date”), we issued $500 million of Convertible Senior Notes due in 2021
(the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at par and bear an annual interest rate of 2.50%, payable semiannually in
arrears, beginning on October 1, 2016. Debt issuance costs of $6 million were recorded as a reduction to the
