To the extent required by Item 1.02 of Form 8-K, the information contained in or incorporated by reference in Item 8.01 of this report is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.02. In addition, to the extent required by Item 1.02 of Form 8-K, the Third Supplemental Indenture between Agilent Technologies, Inc. (“Agilent”) and U.S. Bank National Association, dated September 14, 2009 (the “Indenture”), which was filed as Exhibit 4.02 to a Form 8-K filed by Agilent on September 14, 2009, is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.02 pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K. On June 12, 2014, Agilent elected to call for redemption all of its outstanding 5.5% Senior Notes due September 2015 (the “Notes”) and a notice of redemption has been sent by U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee for the Notes, to all registered holders of the Notes. As of June 12, 2014, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes was $500 million. The redemption price for the Notes is equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding, a make-whole premium which is calculated 3 business days prior to the redemption date in accordance with the Indenture, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, July 14, 2014, which is the date of redemption. Upon redemption by Agilent of its Notes none of the Notes will remain outstanding and the Indenture will generally cease to be of further effect. Agilent does not expect to incur any early termination penalties in connection with the redemption of the Notes.
