On November 6, 2012, we issued $2.4 billion of fixed-rate notes payable in increments of $900, $1 billion and $500 in November 2017, 2022 and 2042, respectively. In December 2012, we used the proceeds from these notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem an equal amount of previously-issued fixed-rate notes with a higher interest rate, lowering the weighted-average interest rate on our outstanding debt from 3.9 percent to 2.2 percent while extending the weighted-average maturity from 2.6 to 9.5 years. The loss of $123 on the redemption, largely representing make-whole amounts, was reported in other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).
The fixed-rate notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by several of our 100-percent-owned subsidiaries (see Note R for condensed consolidating financial statements). We have the option to redeem the notes prior to their maturity in whole or part for the principal plus any accrued but unpaid interest and applicable make-whole amounts.

The aggregate amounts of scheduled maturities of our debt for the next five years are as follows:

On December 31, 2012, we had no commercial paper outstanding, but we maintain the ability to access the market. We have $2 billion in bank credit facilities that provide backup liquidity to our commercial paper program. These credit facilities include a $1 billion multi-year facility expiring in July 2013 and a $1 billion multi-year facility expiring in July 2016. These facilities are required by rating agencies to support our commercial paper issuances. We may renew or replace, in whole or in part, these credit facilities at or prior to their expiration. Our commercial paper issuances and the bank credit facilities are guaranteed by several of our 100-percent-owned subsidiaries.
Our financing arrangements contain a number of customary covenants and restrictions. We were in compliance with all material covenants on December 31, 2012.
