(Note 1) Sony Corporation assumed responsibility for the eighth (2) series of unsecured bonds as a result of its merger with AIWA Corporation. Sony Corporation repurchased and canceled one hundred million yen of the eighth (2) series of unsecured bonds.
(Note 2) The interest rate of the eighth (2) series of unsecured bonds is calculated by subtracting 2-year interest rate swap from 20-year interest rate swap and then adding 1.00%. (If the result of this calculation is negative, the interest rate is 0%.) |
