Item 1.01.
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On March 26, 2013, we executed a series of separate currency exchange transactions with Deutsche Bank AG, Morgan Stanley and J. Aron & Company, an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Pursuant to these currency transactions, we entered into below market forward contracts to buy 80 billion yen at a weighted-average price of 91.000 (yen per dollar) and purchased put options to sell 80 billion yen with a weighted-average strike price of 94.238. These forward contracts and put options which expire on September 25, 2013, mitigate the risk of a strengthening yen for certain of our yen-denominated payments under the Sponsor Agreement while preserving some ability for us to benefit if the value of the yen weakens relative to the U.S. dollar. These contracts are not expected to qualify for hedge accounting and will be remeasured at fair value each period with gains and losses reflected in our results of operations.

Item 1.02.
|
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On March 26, 2013, we terminated a series of separate currency exchange transactions with JP Morgan Chase Bank, Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation and J. Aron & Company, an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Pursuant to these currency transactions, we purchased call options to buy 200 billion yen with a weighted-average strike price of 79.15 (yen per dollar). In addition, to reduce the cost of these call options, we sold put options to sell 100 billion yen with a strike price of 83.32 and we sold call options to buy 100 billion yen with a strike price of 75.57. These currency exchange transactions, which were set to expire on April 3, 2013, were terminated early in connection with our entry into a new series of currency exchange transactions, see Item 1.01, above.
