DEBT AND BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
Short-Term Borrowings
Loans and notes payable consist primarily of commercial paper issued in the United States. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had $12,135 million and $7,535 million, respectively, in outstanding commercial paper borrowings. Our weighted-average interest rates for commercial paper outstanding were approximately 0.2 percent and 0.3 percent per year as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2010, the Company assumed $266 million of short-term borrowings in connection with our acquisition of CCE's North American business. Refer to Note 2.
In addition, we had $5,685 million in lines of credit and other short-term credit facilities as of December 31, 2011, of which $736 million was outstanding. The outstanding amount was primarily related to our international operations.
Included in the credit facilities discussed above, the Company had $4,625 million in lines of credit for general corporate purposes, including commercial paper backup. These backup lines of credit expire at various times from 2012 through 2016. There were no borrowings under these backup lines of credit during 2011. These credit facilities are subject to normal banking terms and conditions. Some of the financial arrangements require compensating balances, none of which is presently significant to our Company.
Long-Term Debt
During 2011, the Company issued $2,979 million of long-term debt. We used $979 million of this newly issued debt and paid a premium of $208 million to exchange $1,022 million of existing long-term debt that was assumed in connection with our acquisition of CCE's North American business. The remaining cash from the issuance was used to reduce the Company's outstanding commercial paper balance and exchange a certain amount of short-term debt.
The general terms of the notes issued during 2011 are as follows:
|
|
• |
$1,655 million total principal amount of notes due September 1, 2016, at a fixed interest rate of 1.8 percent; and
|
|
|
• |
$1,324 million total principal amount of notes due September 1, 2021, at a fixed interest rate of 3.3 percent.
|
During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company extinguished long-term debt that had a carrying value of $20 million and was not scheduled to mature until 2012. This debt was outstanding prior to the Company's acquisition of CCE's North American business. In addition, the Company repurchased long-term debt during 2011 that was assumed in connection with our acquisition of CCE's North American business. The repurchased debt included $99 million in unamortized fair value adjustments recorded as part of our purchase accounting for the CCE transaction and was settled throughout the year as follows:
|
|
• |
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased all of our outstanding U.K. pound sterling notes that had a carrying value of $674 million;
|
|
|
• |
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased long-term debt that had a carrying value of $42 million; and
|
|
|
• |
During the third quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased long-term debt that had a carrying value of $19 million.
|
The Company recorded a net charge of $9 million in the line item interest expense in our consolidated statement of income during the year ended December 31, 2011. This net charge was due to the exchange, repurchase and/or extinguishment of long-term debt described above.
During 2010, in connection with the Company's acquisition of CCE's North American business, we assumed $7,602 million of long-term debt, which had an estimated fair value of approximately $9,345 million as of the acquisition date. We recorded the assumed debt at its fair value as of the acquisition date. Refer to Note 2.
On November 15, 2010, the Company issued $4,500 million of long-term notes and used some of the proceeds to repurchase $2,910 million of long-term debt. The remaining cash from the issuance was used to reduce our outstanding commercial paper balance. The repurchased debt consisted of $1,827 million of debt assumed in our acquisition of CCE's North American business and $1,083 million of the Company's debt that was outstanding prior to the acquisition. The Company recorded a charge of $342 million in interest expense related to the premiums paid to repurchase the long-term debt and the costs associated with the settlement of treasury rate locks issued in connection with the debt tender offer. The general terms of the notes issued on November 15, 2010, were as follows:
|
|
• |
$1,250 million total principal amount of notes due May 15, 2012, at a variable interest rate of 3 month LIBOR plus 0.05 percent;
|
|
|

The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt included fair value adjustments related to the debt assumed from CCE of $733 million and $994 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These fair value adjustments will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately 16 years, which is equal to the weighted-average maturity of the assumed debt to which these fair value adjustments relate. The amortization of these fair value adjustments will be a reduction of interest expense in future periods, which will typically result in our interest expense being less than the actual interest paid to service the debt. Total interest paid was $573 million, $422 million and $346 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
