[1] We have entered into certain interest rate swap agreements that have the economic effects of modifying the fixed-interest obligations associated with the 2.375% senior notes due January 2019 (January 2019 Notes), the 2.25% senior notes due October 2019 (October 2019 Notes) and the 2.80% senior notes due July 2021 (July 2021 Notes) so that the interest payable on these notes effectively became variable based on LIBOR. The effective interest rates after consideration of these fixed to variable interest rate swap agreements were 1.28% and 0.93% for the January 2019 Notes, 1.11% and 0.76% for the October 2019 Notes, and 1.26% and 0.91% for the July 2021 Notes as of May 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Refer to Notes 1 and 11 for a description of our accounting for fair value hedges.
