In connection with the spin off on September 5, 2006, we entered into a $2.15 billion senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) which includes a $500 million revolving loan facility that was undrawn at the time of the spin off, a $450 million senior secured second lien credit facility (the “Second Lien Credit Facility”) and a $500 million bridge loan facility (the “Bridge Loan Facility”) with various financial institution lenders, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the co-syndication agents and the joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Citicorp USA, Inc. is acting as administrative agent and Citibank, N.A. is acting as collateral agent for the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Second Lien Credit Facility. Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. is acting as the administrative agent for the Bridge Loan Facility. As a result of this debt incurrence, the amount of interest expense will increase significantly in periods after the spin off. We paid $2.4 billion of the proceeds of these borrowings to Sara Lee in connection with the spin off.
