NOTE 11: BORROWINGS
For the first nine months of 2018, we paid $1.9 billion to satisfy conversion obligations for $793 million of our $2.0 billion 3.25% junior subordinated 2039 convertible debentures. We recognized a loss of $211 million in interest and other, net and a reduction of $1.3 billion in stockholders' equity related to the conversion feature.
During the third quarter of 2018, we remarketed $423 million principal of bonds issued by the Industrial Development Authority of the City of Chandler, Arizona (the Arizona bonds) and the State of Oregon Business Development Commission (the Oregon bonds). The bonds are our unsecured general obligations in accordance with loan agreements we entered into with the Industrial Development Authority of the City of Chandler, Arizona and the State of Oregon Business Development Commission. The bonds mature between 2035 and 2040 and carry interest rates of 2.4% - 2.7%. Each series of the Arizona bonds and the Oregon bonds are subject to mandatory tender in August 2023, at which time we can re-market the bonds as either fixed-rate bonds for a specified period or as variable-rate bonds until another fixed rate period is selected or until their final maturity date.
