Scheduled maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are $619 million in 2012, $592 million in 2013, $524 million in 2014, $344 million in 2015 and $51 million in 2016.

During 2010, we issued $250 million 3.625% notes due August 1, 2020. We used the net proceeds to repay floating rate notes that were due July 30, 2010.

In February 2011, we issued $250 million of 3.875% notes due March 1, 2021 and $450 million of 5.3% notes due March 1, 2041. Proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate purposes, including purchasing shares of company common stock pursuant to publicly announced share repurchase programs.

On February 9, 2012, we issued $300 million of 2.4% notes due March 1, 2022.  Proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate purposes, including to repay a portion of our $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% notes that were due February 15, 2012.

In 2006, we issued $200 million of dealer remarketable securities that have a final maturity in 2016. The remarketing provisions of these debt instruments require that each year the securities either be remarketed by the dealer or repaid. In both 2010 and 2011, the dealer exercised its option to remarket the securities for another year, and remarketed the securities to third parties. At December 31, 2011, the fair value of the dealer’s option to remarket the securities each year through 2016 is estimated to be $22.9 million. We would be obligated to pay the dealer the fair value of its option in the event the securities are not remarketed for any reason other than the dealer’s election not to remarket or the failure of the dealer to successfully remarket the securities if the conditions to a remarketing are satisfied. We do not expect this contingency to materialize.

In October 2011, we renegotiated our $1.33 billion unused revolving credit facility, resulting in (1) a five year facility of $1.5 billion scheduled to expire in October 2016, (2) an additional $500 million facility scheduled to expire in October 2012, and (3) an option to increase either (but not both) the $1.5 billion facility or the $500 million facility by an additional $500 million. This facility supports our commercial paper program and would provide liquidity in the event our access to the commercial paper markets is unavailable for any reason. We did not borrow any amounts under the revolving credit facility in 2011.
