17. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Credit Agreement

On 30 April 2013, we entered into a five-year $2,500.0 revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks (the “2013 Credit Agreement”), under which senior unsecured debt is available to us and certain of our subsidiaries until maturity on 30 April 2018. On 30 June 2014, we amended the 2013 Credit Agreement to exercise our option to increase the facility to $2,595.0. All other terms remain unchanged from the original agreement. The 2013 Credit Agreement provides us with a source of liquidity and supports our commercial paper program. No borrowings were outstanding under the 2013 Credit Agreement as of 30 June 2014.

Debt

As of 30 June 2014, we have classified $400.0 of commercial paper and a 3.875% Eurobond for €300.0 million ($411) maturing in March 2015 as long-term debt because we have the ability to refinance the debt on a long-term basis under the 2013 Credit Agreement. Our current intent is to refinance this debt via the U.S. or European public or private placement markets.

Share Repurchase Program

On 15 September 2011, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1,000 of our outstanding common stock. We repurchase shares pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through repurchase agreements established with several brokers. During fiscal year 2013, we purchased 5.7 million of our outstanding shares at a cost of $461.6. There were no purchases during the first nine months of fiscal year 2014. At 30 June 2014, $485.3 in share repurchase authorization remains

Subsequent Event

On 17 July 2014, the Board of Directors declared the fourth quarter dividend of $.77. The dividend is payable on 10 November 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on 1 October 2014.
