Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

To the extent required by Item 2.04 of Form 8-K, the information contained or incorporated in Item 8.01 of this report is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.04. In addition, to the extent required by Item 2.04 of Form 8-K, the First Supplemental Indenture between Agilent Technologies, Inc. (“Agilent”) and U.S. Bank National Association, dated October 29, 2007 (the “Indenture”), which was filed as Exhibit 4.01 to a Form 8-K filed by Agilent on October 26, 2007, is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.04 pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K. On September 19, 2014, Agilent elected to call for partial redemption $500 million of its $600 million outstanding 6.5% Senior Notes due November 2017 (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 September 19, 2014, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes was $600 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, October 20, 2014, which is the date of redemption. Upon the partial redemption by Agilent of its Notes, $100 million of the Notes will remain outstanding. Agilent does not expect to incur any early termination penalties in connection with the redemption of the Notes.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Agilent issued a press release on September 19, 2014, announcing its election to call the Notes for partial redemption. A copy of this press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference in this Item 8.01.
