Item 8.01              Other Events

 

On July 16, 2013, Best Buy Co., Inc. (the “Company”) completed a public offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.000% Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered under the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-172662) which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 8, 2011.

 

The Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of March 8, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor trustee to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 16, 2013 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”). A form of the Base Indenture is set forth as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-172662), filed on March 8, 2011, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In connection with the public offering of the Notes, the Company has filed with the Commission a Prospectus dated March 8, 2011 and a related Prospectus Supplement dated July 11, 2013, as filed with the Commission on July 12, 2013 (File No. 333-172662). The Prospectus Supplement includes relevant information regarding recent developments and the use of the public offering proceeds.

 

Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2014, to holders of record on the preceding January 15 or July 15, as the case may be.

 

The Notes will mature on August 1, 2018.

 

The Notes will be the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding.

 

On July 11, 2013, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the several underwriters named therein, for which Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as representatives, for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Notes.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Second Supplemental Indenture (including the forms of the Notes) are qualified in their entirety by the terms of such agreements.  Please refer to such agreements, which are incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1, respectively.
