The notes were tendered by the early deadline of 5 p.m. ET on July 1, entitling the investors to receive the early tender payment of $30.00 per $1,000 of notes.

The payout was determined using the 1.75% Treasury due Aug. 15, 2012 plus a fixed spread of 35 basis points. The reference yield was 0.674% and the tender yield was 1.024%.

Holders will receive accrued interest.
