In May 2018, the Company issued $600 million of ten-year 4.30% Senior Notes due 2028 and $400 million of three-year 3.25% Senior Notes due 2021, resulting in aggregate net proceeds after debt discount of $994 million. The proceeds from these Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of the Company's $400 million, seven-year 3.25% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2018 at maturity, and the repayment of a portion of the Company's commercial paper borrowings used to finance the acquisition of ownership interests in TAF and Multipro. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision.

In May 2017, the Company issued €600 million (approximately $697 million USD at September 29, 2018, which reflects the discount and translation adjustments) of five-year 0.80% Euro Notes due 2022, resulting in aggregate net proceeds after debt discount of $656 million. The proceeds from these Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the Company's $400 million, five-year 1.75% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2017 at maturity. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision. The Notes were designated as a net investment hedge of the Company's investment in its Europe subsidiary when issued.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company repaid its Cdn.$300 million three year 2.05% Canadian Dollar Notes.

As of September 29, 2018, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $1.3 billion, which effectively converts a portion of the associated U.S. Dollar Notes and Euro Notes from fixed rate to floating rate obligations. These derivative instruments are designated as fair value hedges. The effective interest rates on debt obligations resulting from the Company’s interest rate swaps as of September 29, 2018 were as follows: (a) ten-year 4.15% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2019 – 3.48%; (b) ten-year 4.00% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2020 – 3.41%; (c) ten-year 3.125% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2022 – 3.88%; (d) ten-year 2.75% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2023 – 4.02%; (e) seven-year 2.65% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2023 – 3.42%; (f) eight-year 1.00% Euro Notes due 2024 – 0.71%; (g) ten-year 1.25% Euro Notes due 2025 - 1.31% and (h) ten-year 3.25% U.S. Notes due 2026 – 4.07%.
