The Floating Rate Notes and the Fixed Rate Notes are together referred to as the Notes. The 2018 Floating Rate Notes mature on May 18, 2018, the 2020 Floating Rate Notes mature on May 20, 2020, the 2018 Fixed Rate Notes mature on May 18, 2018, the 2020 Fixed Rate Notes mature on May 20, 2020, the 2022 Fixed Rate Notes mature on May 20, 2022, the 2025 Fixed Rate Notes mature on May 20, 2025, the 2035 Fixed Rate Notes mature on May 20, 2035 and the 2045 Fixed Rate Notes mature on May 20, 2045, unless earlier repurchased. The Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding.
The 2018 Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest at the rate of 1.400% per year, the 2020 Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest at the rate of 2.250% per year, the 2022 Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest at the rate of 3.000% per year, the 2025 Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest at the rate of 3.450% per year, the 2035 Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.650% per year and the 2045 Fixed Rate Notes will bear interest at the rate of 4.800% per year. Interest on each series of Fixed Rate Notes will be payable semiannually on May 20 and November 20 of each year, and in the case of the 2018 Fixed Rate Notes, on the maturity date, beginning on November 20, 2015. We will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding May 1 or November 1, respectively.
The interest rate on the 2018 Floating Rate Notes and the 2020 Floating Rate Notes for a particular interest period will be a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined on the interest determination date plus 0.270% and 0.550%, respectively. Interest on each series of the Floating Rate Notes will be payable quarterly on February 20, May 20, August 20 and November 20 of each year, and in the case of the 2018 Floating Rate Notes, on the maturity date, beginning on August 20, 2015. We will make each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding February 1, May 1, August 1 or November 1, respectively.
The Company may redeem some or all of the notes of each series of Fixed Rate Notes at the applicable redemption price, as described in the applicable form of Note. The Company may not redeem the Floating Rate Notes prior to maturity.
The Indenture contains customary events of default with respect to the Notes, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Events of default under the Indenture arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the Notes. If any other event of default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the acceleration of the amounts due under the Notes.
The foregoing description of the Notes and the Indenture are qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, which is included as Exhibit 4.1 to this report, the Officers’ Certificate, which is included as Exhibit 4.2 to this report, and the forms of Notes, which are included as Exhibits 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 and 4.10 to this report, and each of which is incorporated into this current report on Form 8-K.
