Debt

On June 6, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 2.05% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2018. The notes were issued at 99.791% of their principal amount. The net proceeds were used to pay a portion of the outstanding revolver balance under Roper's revolving credit facility.

The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.05% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2013.

Roper may redeem some or all of these notes at any time or from time to time, at 100% of their principal amount, plus a make-whole premium based on a spread to U.S. Treasury securities.

The notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The notes are effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The notes are not guaranteed by any of Roper's subsidiaries and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of its subsidiaries.

On August 15, 2013, $500 million of senior notes matured, and were repaid using borrowings from the Company's $1.5 billion revolving credit facility.

Roper's 3.75% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2034 became convertible on January 15, 2009. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, 4,471 notes were converted for $7.1 million in cash. No gain or loss was recorded upon these conversions. In addition, a related $0.4 million deferred tax liability associated with excess deductions recorded for tax purposes was relieved to additional paid-in capital upon the conversions.

At September 30, 2013, the conversion price on the outstanding notes was $470.55. If converted at September 30, 2013, the value would exceed the $10 million principal amount of the notes by approximately $25 million and could result in the issuance of 190,306 shares of Roper's common stock.
