  ranking equally with all of RCI’s other senior notes and debentures, 
  bank credit and letter of credit facilities. We use derivatives to hedge 
  the foreign exchange risk associated with the principal and interest 
  components of all our US dollar denominated senior notes and 
  debentures (see note 20). 
  
  dividends, all of which are suspended in the event the public debt 
  securities are assigned investment grade ratings by at least two of three 
  specified credit rating agencies. As at December 31, 2013, these public 
  debt securities were assigned an investment grade rating by each of the 
  three specified credit rating agencies and, accordingly, these restrictions 
  have been suspended as long as the investment grade ratings are 
  maintained. Our other senior notes do not have any of 
  these 
  restrictions, regardless of the related credit ratings. 
  
  *Repayment of Senior Notes and Related Derivative Settlements*
  In June 2013, we repaid or bought the entire outstanding principal 
  amount of our US $350 million ($356 million) senior notes due 2013. 
  At the same time, the associated Debt Derivatives were also settled at 
  maturity. See note 20 for more information about our Debt Derivatives. 
  The repayment dates of certain debt agreements can also be 
  accelerated if there is a change in control of RCI.
