All of our Nordstrom private label card receivables and a 90% interest in our Nordstrom VISA credit card receivables serve as collateral for various
borrowings and credit facilities, including our Series 2007-2 Class A & B Notes, our Series 2011-1 Class A Notes and our Variable Funding Note facility
(“2007-A VFN”). Our mortgage payable is secured by an office building which had a net book value of $73 at the end of 2011.
During 2011, we issued $500 of senior unsecured notes at 4.00%, due October 2021. After deducting the original issue discount of $1, net proceeds
from the offering were $499. Additionally, we issued $325 of securitized Series 2011-1 Class A Notes at 2.28%, due October 2016.
In connection with the April 2012 maturity of our securitized Series 2007-2 Class A & B Notes totaling $500, we began making monthly cash deposits
into a restricted account in December 2011. As of January 28, 2012, we had accumulated $200, which is included in our consolidated balance sheet in
prepaid expense and other. In the first quarter of 2012, we expect to retire the Series 2007-2 Class A & B Notes with the accumulated restricted cash
upon maturity.
During 2011, we received proceeds of $72 from the sale of our interest rate swap agreements (collectively, the “swap”) with a $650 notional amount
maturing in 2018. Under the swap, we received a fixed rate of 6.25% and paid a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.9%. As of
the sale date of the swap, the accumulated adjustment to our long-term debt was $72, which will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense
over the remaining life of the related debt. See Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 9: Fair Value
Measurements for additional information related to our swap.
Other secured debt as of January 28, 2012 consisted primarily of capital lease obligations. Other unsecured debt consisted primarily of the
adjustment to the long-term debt carrying value associated with our fair value hedge.
