Debt issuances

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we issued debt securities in the following offerings:


•	In May 2012, we issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of notes, consisting of the 2.125% 2017 Notes, the 3.625% 2022 Notes and the 5.375% 2043 Notes.


•	In September 2012, we issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of notes, consisting of the 2.125% 2019 euro Notes (€675 million aggregate principal amount) and the 4.00% 2029 pound sterling Notes (£700 million aggregate principal amount).

All of the debt issued during 2012 may be redeemed at any time at our option, in whole or in part, at the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest and a “make-whole” amount, as defined. In the event of a change-in-control triggering event, as defined, we may be required to purchase all or a portion of these notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of this debt totaling approximately $25 million are being amortized over the respective lives of the notes and the related charges are included in Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
