(1)In July 2013, we issued €750 million of 3.125% senior notes due July 2025 (July 2025 Notes). Principal and unamortized discount/issuance costs for the July 2025 Notes in the table above were calculated using foreign currency exchange rates, as applicable, as of May 31, 2023 and May 31, 2022, respectively. The July 2025 Notes are registered and trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

(2)In fiscal 2018 we entered into certain cross-currency interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of converting our fixed-rate, Euro-denominated debt, including annual interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, to a variable-rate, U.S. Dollar-denominated debt of $871 million based on LIBOR. The effective interest rates as of May 31, 2023 and 2022 after consideration of the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements were 8.36% and 4.10%, respectively, for the July 2025 Notes. Refer to Note 1 for a description of our accounting for fair value hedges.

(3)In fiscal 2023, we issued $12.3 billion of senior notes and used the net proceeds from the issuance of the senior notes to repay the amount of indebtedness outstanding under the Bridge Credit Agreement, to repay $1.3 billion of senior notes due February 2023 and to partially repay our outstanding commercial paper notes. The interest is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of the senior notes of each series prior to their maturity, subject to certain restrictions, and the payment of an applicable make-whole premium in certain instances.

(4)In fiscal 2023, we entered into certain interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effect of converting our floating-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings with a fixed annual interest rate of 3.07%, plus a margin depending on the credit rating assigned to our long-term senior unsecured debt, as further discussed below.
