All three tranches priced tighter than talk.

The company priced $1.15 billion of 2.25% notes due 2018 with a spread of Treasuries plus 60 basis points, or 99.859 to yield 2.28%. That compared with talk for a spread of 65 bps.

A $1.1 billion tranche of 3.75% notes due 2024 sold with a spread of Treasuries plus 95 bps, versus talk of a 100 bps spread.
