Microsoft has entered into a $100 million equity swap with a dealer. Payments will be made every six months using the adjustment 182/360 (ie. 182 days in the settlement period and 360 days in a year). Under the terms of the swaps, Microsoft agrees to pay the dealer the return on a small-cap stock index and receive a fixed rate of 6.75% from the dealer. The small-cap index starts off at 1,805.20. Six months later, it is at 1,796.15.
