THE COMPANY

          The Procter & Gamble Company was incorporated in Ohio in 1905, having been built from a business founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble. Today, we manufacture and market a broad range of consumer products in many countries throughout the world. Our principal executive offices are located at One Procter & Gamble Plaza, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, and our telephone number is (513) 983-1100.

          In the United States, as of June 30, 2007, the Company owned and operated 39 manufacturing facilities. These facilities were located in 23 different states. In addition, the Company owned and operated 105 manufacturing facilities in 41 other countries. Many of the domestic and international facilities produced products for multiple businesses.

RISK FACTORS

          We discuss our expectations regarding future performance, events and outcomes, such as our business outlook and objectives in this document, as well as in our annual report and quarterly reports, press releases and other written and oral communications. All statements, except for historical and present factual information, are “forward-looking statements” and are based on financial data and business plans available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become out of date or incomplete. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or other factors. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could significantly differ from our expectations.

          The following discussion of “risk factors” identifies the most significant factors that may adversely affect our business, operations, financial position or future financial performance. This information should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report and quarterly reports which are incorporated by reference into this document. The following discussion of risks is not all inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider when evaluating our expectations. These factors could cause our future results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements and from historical trends.

A material change in consumer demand for our products could have a significant impact on our business.

          We are a consumer products company and rely on continued global demand for our brands and products. To achieve business goals, we must develop and sell products that appeal to consumers. This is dependent on a number of factors including our ability to develop effective sales, advertising and marketing programs in an increasingly fragmented media environment. We expect to achieve our financial targets, in part, by shifting our portfolio towards faster growing, higher margin businesses. If demand and growth rates fall substantially below expected levels or our market share declines significantly in these businesses, our results could be negatively impacted. This could occur due to unforeseen negative economic or political events or to changes in consumer trends and habits. In addition, our continued success is dependent on leading-edge innovation, with respect to both products and operations. This means we must be able to obtain patents that lead to the development of products that appeal to our consumers across the world.

The ability to achieve our business objectives is dependent on how well we can respond to our local and global competitors.

          Across all of our categories, we compete against a wide variety of global and local competitors. As a result, there are ongoing competitive product and pricing pressures in the environments in which we operate, as well as challenges in maintaining profit margins. To address these challenges, we must be able to successfully respond to competitive factors, including pricing, promotional incentives and trade terms, as well as technological advances and patents granted to competition.

Our ability to successfully integrate key acquisitions, primarily Gillette, could impact our business results.

          Since our goals include a growth component tied to acquisitions, we must be able to successfully manage and integrate key acquisitions, such as the acquisition of The Gillette Company. Specifically, we must be able to integrate acquisitions without any significant disruption to our ability to manage and execute business plans on our base businesses. In addition, our financial results could be adversely impacted if we are not able to deliver the expected cost and growth synergies associated with our acquisitions.

Our businesses face cost pressures which could affect our business results.

          Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to changes in commodity prices, raw materials, cost of labor, foreign exchange and interest rates. Our costs in 2007 were impacted by higher commodity costs and this trend is likely to continue in 2008. Therefore, our success is dependent, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings projects (including outsourcing projects), sourcing decisions and

certain hedging transactions. In the manufacturing and general overhead areas, we need to maintain key manufacturing and supply arrangements, including sole supplier and sole manufacturing plant arrangements.

We face risks associated with significant international operations.

          We conduct business across the globe with a significant portion of our sales outside the United States. We expect to achieve our financial targets, in part, by achieving disproportionate growth in developing regions. Should growth rates or our market share fall substantially below expected levels in these regions, our results could be negatively impacted. In addition, economic changes, terrorist activity and political unrest may result in business interruption, inflation, deflation or decreased demand for our products. Our success will depend in part on our ability to manage continued global political and/or economic uncertainty, especially in our significant geographical markets, as well as any political or economic disruption due to terrorist and other hostile activities.

Our business is subject to regulation in the United States and abroad.

          Changes in laws, regulations and the related interpretations may alter the environment in which we do business. This includes changes in environmental, competitive and product-related laws, as well as changes in accounting standards and taxation requirements. Accordingly, our ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal matters (including product liability, patent, and intellectual property matters as well as those related to the integration of Gillette and its subsidiaries) and to resolve pending matters within current estimates may impact our results.

If the reputation of one or more of our leading brands erodes significantly, it could have a material impact on our financial results.

          Our Company’s financial success is directly dependent on the success of our brands, particularly our billion-dollar brands. The success of these brands can suffer if our marketing plans or product initiatives do not have the desired impact on a brand’s image or its ability to attract consumers. Further, our Company’s results could be impacted if one of our leading brands suffers a substantial impediment to its reputation due to real or perceived quality issues.

A material change in customer relationships or in customer demand for our products could have a significant impact on our business.

          Our success is dependent on our ability to successfully manage relationships with our retail trade customers. This includes our ability to offer trade terms that are acceptable to our customers and are aligned with our pricing and profitability targets. Our business could suffer if we cannot reach agreement with a key customer based on our trade terms and principles. Further, there is a continuing trend towards retail trade consolidation and this leads to more complex work across broader geographic boundaries for both us and key retailers. This can be particularly difficult when major customers are addressing local trade pressures or local law and regulation changes. Further, our business would be negatively impacted if a key customer were to significantly reduce the range or inventory level of our products.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

          The following descriptions of the particular terms of the notes supplements the more general description of the debt securities contained in the accompanying prospectus. If there are any inconsistencies between the information in this section and the information in the prospectus, the information in this section controls.

          Investors should read this section together with the section entitled “Description of Procter & Gamble Debt Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. Any capitalized terms that are defined in the prospectus have the same meanings in this section unless a different definition appears in this section. We qualify the description of the notes by reference to the indenture as described below.

General

          The notes:

	•		will be initially limited to $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount, subject to our ability to reopen and issue additional notes which may be of the same series as the notes as described under “—Further Issues,”
	•		will mature on November 9, 2057,
	•		will be senior debt of Procter & Gamble, ranking equally with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Procter & Gamble,
	•		will be issued as a separate series under the indenture between Procter & Gamble and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (as successor-in-interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), dated as of September 28, 1992, in registered, book-entry form only,
	•		will be issued in U.S. dollars in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,
	•		will be redeemable by us prior to the stated maturity at the times and prices described herein,
	•		will be repayable at the option of the holders prior to the stated maturity at the times and prices described herein,
	•		will be subject to defeasance and covenant defeasance, and
	•		will not be subject to any sinking fund.

          The indenture and the notes do not limit the amount of indebtedness which may be incurred or the amount of securities which may be issued by us or our subsidiaries, and contain no financial or similar restrictions on us or our subsidiaries, except as described in the prospectus under the caption “Description of Procter & Gamble Debt Securities—Restrictive Covenants.”

Interest and Principal

          Payment of Interest and Principal

          We will pay interest on the notes quarterly on February 9, May 9, August 9 and November 9 of each year and on any maturity date (each, an “interest payment date”), commencing February 9, 2008, to the persons in whose names the notes are registered at the close of business on February 1, May 1, August 1 or November 1, as applicable (in each case, whether or not a business day), immediately preceding the related interest payment date; provided, however, that interest payable on any maturity date shall be payable to the person to whom the principal of such notes shall be payable. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

     We will pay the principal of and interest on each note to the registered holder in immediately available funds upon presentation of the notes if in certificated form at the office or agency we maintain for this purpose in the

Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently the corporate trust office of the trustee, in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at our option by check mailed to the registered holder at the close of business on the regular record date at such address as shall appear in the security register or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by such holder to us and the trustee prior to the relevant record date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, so long as the notes are in book-entry form, we will make payments of principal and interest through the trustee to DTC.

          Interest payable on any interest payment date or maturity date shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding interest payment date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to the notes) to, but excluding, such interest payment date or maturity date, as the case may be. If any interest payment date (other than the maturity date) would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, such interest payment date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding day that is a business day, except that if such business day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, such interest payment date (other than the maturity date) shall be the immediately preceding business day. If the maturity date of the notes falls on a day that is not a business day, the related payment of principal and interest will be made on the immediately succeeding business day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the immediately succeeding business day.

          By “business day” we mean a day which is not a day when banking institutions in the city in which the trustee administers its corporate trust business, currently New York City, or in the place of payment, are authorized or required by law or regulation to be closed, and that is also a “London business day”, which is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

          The term “maturity,” when used with respect to a note, means the date on which the principal of such note or an installment of principal becomes due and payable as therein provided or as provided in the indenture, whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, repayment or otherwise.

          Rate of Interest

          The interest rate on the notes will be reset quarterly on February 9, May 9, August 9 and November 9 of each year, commencing February 9, 2008 (each, an “interest reset date”), and the notes will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR (as defined below) for the applicable interest reset period or initial interest period (each as defined below), less 0.30% (30 basis points). The interest rate for the initial interest period will be three-month LIBOR, determined as of two London business days prior to the original issue date, less 0.30% per annum. The “initial interest period” will be the period from and including the original issue date to but excluding the initial interest reset date. Thereafter, each “interest reset period” will be the period from and including an interest reset date to but excluding the immediately succeeding interest reset date; provided that the final interest reset period for the notes will be the period from and including the interest reset date immediately preceding the maturity date of such notes to but excluding the maturity date.

          If any interest reset date would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, the interest reset date will be postponed to the immediately succeeding day that is a business day, except that if that business day is in the immediately succeeding calendar month, the interest reset date shall be the immediately preceding business day.

          The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if that day is an interest reset date, the interest rate determined as of the interest determination date (as defined below) immediately preceding such interest reset date or (ii) if that day is not an interest reset date, the interest rate determined as of the interest determination date immediately preceding the most recent interest reset date or the original issue date, as the case may be.

          Interest Rate Determination

          The interest rate applicable to each interest reset period commencing on the related interest reset date, or the original issue date in the case of the initial interest period, will be the rate determined as of the applicable interest determination date. The “interest determination date” will be the second London business day immediately preceding the original issue date, in the case of the initial interest reset period, or thereafter the applicable interest reset date.

          The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., or its successor appointed by us, will act as calculation agent. Three-month LIBOR will be determined by the calculation agent as of the applicable interest determination date in accordance with the following provisions:

     (i) LIBOR is the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for the 3-month period which appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on the applicable interest determination date. “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters Screen (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service, any successor service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (ii) below.

     (ii) With respect to an interest determination date on which no rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest determination date, the calculation agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriter) in the London interbank market selected by the calculation agent (after consultation with us) to provide the calculation agent with a quotation of the rate at which deposits of U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity, commencing on the second London business day immediately following such interest determination date, are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such interest determination date in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations as calculated by the calculation agent. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such interest determination date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the underwriter) selected by the calculation agent (after consultation with us) for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a three-month maturity commencing on the second London business day immediately following such interest determination date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the calculation agent are not quoting such rates as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR for such interest determination date will be LIBOR determined with respect to the immediately preceding interest determination date.

          All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward and all dollar amounts will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

          Promptly upon such determination, the calculation agent will notify us and the trustee (if the calculation agent is not the trustee) of the interest rate for the new interest reset period. Upon request of a holder of the notes, the calculation agent will provide to such holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the interest rate for the next interest reset period.

           All calculations made by the calculation agent for the purposes of calculating interest on the notes shall be conclusive and binding on the holders and us, absent manifest error.

Optional Redemption

          The notes may be redeemed at any time, at our option, in whole or in part, in amounts of $1,000 or any multiple of $1,000, at the following redemption prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on November 9 of any of the following years:

		Redemption
Year		Price
2037			105.00	%
2038			104.50	%
2039			104.00	%
2040			103.50	%
2041			103.00	%
2042			102.50	%
2043			102.00	%
2044			101.50	%
2045			101.00	%
2046			100.50	%
2047			100.00	%

and thereafter at 100% of the principal amount, in each case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on an interest payment date).

          We must mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of the notes to be redeemed. Unless we default in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions of the notes called for redemption.

          In the event of any redemption of less than all the outstanding notes, the particular notes (or portions of notes in multiples of $1,000) to be redeemed shall be selected by the trustee by the method the trustee considers fair and appropriate.

Repayment at Option of Holder

          The notes will be repayable at the option of the holder of the notes, in whole or in part, on the repayment dates and at the repayment prices (in each case expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set forth in the following table:

		Redemption
Date		Price
November 9, 2008			98.00	%
November 9, 2009			98.00	%
November 9, 2010			98.00	%
November 9, 2011			98.00	%

November 9, 2016			99.00	%
November 9, 2017			99.00	%
November 9, 2018			100.00	%

and on November 9 of every third year thereafter at 100% of the principal amount, through and including November 9, 2057, in each case, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the rights of holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on an interest payment date).

          In order for a note to be repaid, the paying agent must receive, at least 30 but not more than 60 calendar days before the optional repayment date, (1) the note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the note duly completed or (2) a telegram, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States which must set forth:

	•		the name of the holder of the note;
	•		the principal amount of the note;
	•		the principal amount of the note to be repaid;
	•		the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of the note;
	•		a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised; and
	•		a guarantee that the note is to be repaid.

          These items, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the note, must be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth business day after the date of that telegram, facsimile transmission or letter. The repayment option may be exercised by the holder of a note for less than the entire principal amount of the note but, in that event, the principal amount of the note remaining outstanding after repayment must be in an authorized denomination.

Conditional Right to Shorten Maturity

          We intend to deduct interest paid on the notes for United States Federal income tax purposes. However, there have been proposed tax law changes in the past that, among other things, would have prohibited an issuer from deducting interest payments on debt instruments with a maturity of more than 40 years. While none of these proposals has become law, we cannot assure you that similar legislation affecting our ability to deduct interest paid on the notes will not be enacted in the future or that any such legislation would not have a retroactive effective date. As a result, we cannot assure you that a tax event (as defined below) will not occur.

          If a tax event occurs, we will have the right to shorten the maturity of the notes, without the consent of the holders of the notes, to the minimum extent required, in the opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel, so that, after shortening the maturity, interest paid on the notes will be deductible for United States Federal income tax purposes or, if that counsel cannot opine definitively as to such a minimum period, the minimum extent so required to maintain our interest deduction to the extent deductible under current law as determined in good faith by our board of directors, after receipt of an opinion of that counsel regarding the applicable legal standards. In that case, the amount payable on those notes on that new maturity date will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of those notes plus interest accrued on those notes to the date those notes mature on that new maturity date. We cannot assure you that we would not exercise our right to shorten the maturity of those notes if a tax event occurs or as to the period that the maturity would be shortened. If we elect to exercise our right to shorten the maturity of the notes when a tax event occurs, we will mail a notice to each holder of notes by first-class mail not more than 60 days after the occurrence of the tax event, stating the new maturity date of the notes. This notice shall be effective immediately upon mailing.

          We believe that the notes should constitute indebtedness for United Stated Federal income tax purposes under current law and, in that case, an exercise of our right to shorten the maturity of the notes should not be a taxable event to holders for those purposes. Prospective investors should be aware, however, that our exercise of our right to shorten the maturity of the notes will be a taxable event to holders for United States Federal income tax

purposes if the notes are treated as equity for United States Federal income tax purposes before the maturity is shortened, assuming that the notes of shortened maturity are treated as debt for those purposes.

          “Tax event” means that we shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of:

	•		any amendment to, clarification of, or change (including any announced prospective amendment, clarification or change) in any law, or any regulation thereunder, of the United States;
	•		any judicial decision, official administrative pronouncement, ruling, regulatory procedure, regulation, notice or announcement, including any notice or announcement of intent to adopt or promulgate any ruling, regulatory procedure or regulation (any of the foregoing, an “administrative or judicial action”); or
	•		any amendment to, clarification of, or change in any official position with respect to, or any interpretation of, an administrative or judicial action or a law or regulation of the United States that differs from the previously generally accepted position or interpretation,

in each case, occurring on or after November 9, 2007, there is more than an insubstantial increase in the risk that interest paid by us on the notes is not, or will not be, deductible, in whole or in part, by us for United States Federal income tax purposes.

Notes Used as Qualified Replacement Property

          Prospective investors seeking to treat the notes as “qualified replacement property” for purposes of section 1042 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), should be aware that section 1042 requires the issuer to meet certain requirements in order for the notes to constitute qualified replacement property. In general, qualified replacement property is a security issued by a domestic corporation that did not, for the taxable year preceding the taxable year in which such security was purchased, have “passive investment income” in excess of 25 percent of the gross receipts of such corporation for such preceding taxable year (the “Passive Income Test”). For purposes of the Passive Income Test, where the issuing corporation is in control of one or more corporations, all such corporations are treated as one corporation (the “Affiliated Group”) for the purposes of computing the amount of passive investment income for purposes of section 1042.

          We believe that less than 25 percent of our Affiliated Group’s gross receipts is passive investment income for the taxable year ending June 30, 2007. In making this determination, we have made certain assumptions and used procedures which we believe are reasonable. We cannot give any assurance as to whether we will continue to meet the Passive Income Test. It is, in addition, possible that the Internal Revenue Service may disagree with the manner in which we have calculated our Affiliated Group’s gross receipts (including the characterization of those gross receipts) and passive investment income and the conclusions reached in this discussion. Prospective purchasers of the notes should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to these and other tax matters relating to the notes.

Further Issues

          We may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of the notes, create and issue further notes of this series ranking equally with the notes of this series in all respects (or in all respects other than the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further notes). Such further notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the notes of this series and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the notes of this series.

Book-Entry System

          We have obtained the information in this section concerning The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and its book-entry system and procedures from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information. In addition, the description of the clearing system in this section reflects our understanding of the rules and procedures of DTC as they are currently in effect. DTC could change its rules and procedures at any time.

          The notes will initially be represented by one or more fully registered global notes. Each such global note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC or any successor thereto and registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s nominee). You may hold your interests in the global notes in the United States through DTC, either as a participant in that system or indirectly through organizations which are participants in that system.

          So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the global securities representing the notes, DTC or such nominee will be considered the sole owner and holder of the notes for all purposes of the notes and the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the notes will not be entitled to have the notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered by us or the trustee pursuant to the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a note must rely on the procedures of DTC or its nominee and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of notes.

          Unless and until we issue the notes in fully certificated, registered form under the limited circumstances described below under the heading “Book-Entry System — Certificated Notes”:

	•		you will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing your interest in the notes;
	•		all references in this prospectus supplement or in the accompanying prospectus to actions by holders will refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its direct participants; and
	•		all references in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus to payments and notices to holders will refer to payments and notices to DTC or Cede & Co., as the registered holder of the notes, for distribution to you in accordance with DTC procedures.

The Depository Trust Company

          DTC will act as securities depositary for the notes. The notes will be issued as fully registered notes registered in the name of Cede & Co. DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is

	•		a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law;
	•		a “banking organization” under the New York Banking Law;
	•		a member of the Federal Reserve System;
	•		a “clearing corporation” under the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and
	•		a “clearing agency” registered under the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

          DTC holds securities that its direct participants deposit with DTC. DTC facilitates the settlement among direct participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in direct participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.

          Direct participants of DTC include securities brokers and dealers (including underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its direct

participants. Indirect access to the DTC system is also available to securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant.

          If you are not a direct participant or an indirect participant and you wish to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests in, notes, you must do so through a direct participant or an indirect participant. DTC agrees with and represents to DTC participants that it will administer its book-entry system in accordance with its rules and by-laws and requirements of law. The Securities and Exchange Commission has on file a set of the rules applicable to DTC and its direct participants.

          Purchases of notes under DTC’s system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the notes on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each beneficial owner is in turn to be recorded on the records of direct participants and indirect participants. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct participants or indirect participants through which such beneficial owners entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in notes, except as provided below in “Book-Entry System — Certificated Notes.”

          To facilitate subsequent transfers, all notes deposited with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the notes. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

          Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

Book-Entry Format

          Under the book-entry format, the trustee will pay interest or principal payments to Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. DTC will forward the payment to the direct participants, who will then forward the payment to the indirect participants or to you as the beneficial owner. You may experience some delay in receiving your payments under this system. Neither we, the trustee under the indenture nor any paying agent has any direct responsibility or liability for the payment of principal or interest on the notes to owners of beneficial interests in the notes.

          DTC is required to make book-entry transfers on behalf of its direct participants and is required to receive and transmit payments of principal, premium, if any, and interests on the notes. Any direct participant or indirect participant with which you have an account is similarly required to make book-entry transfers and to receive and transmit payments with respect to the notes kept on your behalf. We and the trustee under the indenture have no responsibility for any aspect of the actions of DTC or any of its direct or indirect participants. We and the trustee under the indenture have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records kept by DTC or any of its direct or indirect participants relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. We also do not supervise these systems in any way.

          The trustee will not recognize you as a holder under the indenture, and you can only exercise the rights of a holder indirectly through DTC and its direct participants. DTC has advised us that it will only take action regarding a note if one or more of the direct participants to whom the note is credited directs DTC to take such action and only in respect of the portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which that participant or participants has or have given that direction. DTC can only act on behalf of its direct participants. Your ability to pledge notes to non-direct participants, and to take other actions, may be limited because you will not possess a physical certificate that represents your notes.

          Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the notes unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

Same-Day Settlement and Payment

          The underwriter will settle the notes in immediately available funds. We will make principal and interest payments on the notes in immediately available funds or the equivalent.

          Secondary market trading between DTC direct participants will occur in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in immediately available funds using DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, of settlement in immediately available funds on trading activity (if any) in the notes.

Certificated Notes

          Unless and until they are exchanged, in whole or in part, for notes in definitive form in accordance with the terms of the notes, the notes may not be transferred except (1) as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or (2) by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or (3) by DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of such successor.

     We will issue notes to you or your nominees, in fully certificated registered form, rather than to DTC or its nominees, only if:

	•		we advise the trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge its responsibilities properly or that DTC is no longer a registered clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the trustee or we are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days;
	•		an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture; or
	•		we, at our option, elect to terminate the book-entry system through DTC.

          If any of the three above events occurs, DTC is required to notify all direct participants that notes in fully certificated registered form are available through DTC. DTC will then surrender the global note representing the notes along with instructions for re-registration. The trustee will re-issue the notes in fully certificated registered form and will recognize the registered holders of the certificated notes as holders under the indenture.

          Unless and until we issue the notes in fully certificated, registered form, (1) you will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing your interest in the notes; (2) all references in this prospectus supplement or in the accompanying prospectus to actions by holders will refer to actions taken by the depositary upon instructions from their direct participants; and (3) all references in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus to payments and notices to holders will refer to payments and notices to the depositary, as the registered holder of the notes, for distribution to you in accordance with its policies and procedures.

Governing Law

          The indenture and the notes for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

UNDERWRITING

          We intend to offer the notes through UBS Securities LLC, as underwriter. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in an underwriting agreement and the related pricing agreement between us and the underwriter, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter and the underwriter has agreed to purchase from us, $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes.

          The underwriter has agreed to purchase all of the notes sold pursuant to the underwriting agreement. If the underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement may be terminated.

          We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

          The underwriter is offering the notes, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by it, subject to approval of legal matters by its counsel, including the validity of the notes, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriter of officer’s certificates and legal opinions. The underwriter reserves the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Commissions and Discounts

          The underwriter has advised us that it proposes initially to offer the notes to the public at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. After the initial public offering, the public offering price, concession and discount may be changed.

          The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount, are estimated to be $100,000 and are payable by us.

New Issue of Notes

          The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any national securities exchange or for quotation of the notes on any automated dealer quotation system. We have been advised by the underwriter that it presently intends to make a market in the notes after completion of the offering. However, it is under no obligation to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without any notice. We cannot assure the liquidity of the trading market for the notes or that an active public market for the notes will develop. If an active public trading market for the notes does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected.

Price Stabilization and Short Positions

          In connection with the offering, the underwriter is permitted to engage in transactions that stabilize the market price of the notes. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain the price of the notes. If the underwriter creates a short position in the notes in connection with the offering, i.e., if it sells more notes than are on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the underwriter may reduce that short position by purchasing notes in the open market. Purchases of a security to stabilize the price or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases.

          Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude or any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the notes. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Other Relationships

          The underwriter and its affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us, for which it has received or will receive customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

          The validity of the notes will be passed upon for Procter & Gamble by E.J. Wunsch, Esq., Associate General Counsel, The Procter & Gamble Company, One Procter & Gamble Plaza, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, and for the underwriter by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, New York, New York. Mr. Wunsch may rely as to matters of New York law upon the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP may rely as to matters of Ohio law upon the opinion of Mr. Wunsch. Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP from time to time performs legal services for Procter & Gamble.

Such statements are based on financial data, market assumptions and business plans available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become out of date or incomplete. Neither we nor PGIF assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other factors.

USE OF PROCEEDS

          Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered by this prospectus by Procter & Gamble or PGIF for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF PROCTER & GAMBLE DEBT SECURITIES

          This section describes the general terms and provisions of any debt securities that we may offer in the future. A prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will describe the specific terms of that particular series and the extent to which the general terms and provisions apply to that particular series.

General

          We expect to issue the debt securities under an indenture, dated as of September 28, 1992, between us and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., (as successor-in-interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), as trustee. We have filed a copy of the indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The following summaries of various provisions of the indenture are not complete. You should read the indenture for a more complete understanding of the provisions described in this section. The indenture itself, not this description or the description in the prospectus supplement, defines your rights as a holder of debt securities. Parenthetical section and article numbers in this description refer to sections and articles in the indenture.

          The debt securities will be unsecured obligations of Procter & Gamble. The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue under the indenture. The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series.

Terms of a Particular Series

          Each prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will include specific information relating to the offering. This information will include some or all of the following terms of the debt securities of the series:

	•		the title of the debt securities;
	•		any limit on the total principal amount of the debt securities;
	•		the date or dates on which the debt securities will mature;

Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest

          Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities will be payable, and the debt securities will be exchangeable and transfers of debt securities will be registrable, at the office of the trustee at Global Corporate Trust, 2 North LaSalle Street, Suite 1020, Chicago, IL 60602. At our option, however, payment of interest may be made by:

	•		wire transfer on the date of payment in immediately available federal funds or next day funds to an account specified by written notice to the trustee from any holder of debt securities;
	•		any similar manner that the holder may designate in writing to the trustee; or
	•		check mailed to the address of the holder as it appears in the security register. (Sections 301, 305 and 1002)

          Any payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, required to be made on a day that is not a business day need not be made on that day, but may be made on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on the non-business day. No interest will accrue for the period from and after the non-business day. (Section 113)

          Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt securities, we will issue the debt securities only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 or any multiple of $1,000. (Section 302) We will not require a service charge for any transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any transfer or exchange. (Section 305)

Original Issue Discount Securities

          Debt securities may be issued under the indenture as original issue discount securities to be offered and sold at a substantial discount from their stated principal amount. An original issue discount security under the indenture includes any security which provides for an amount less than its principal amount to be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default. In addition, under regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department it is possible that debt securities which are offered and sold at their stated principal amount would, under certain circumstances, be treated as issued at an original issue discount for federal income tax purposes, and special rules may apply to debt securities which are considered to be issued as “investment units”. Federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any such original issue discount securities, or other debt securities treated as issued at an original issue discount, and to “investment units” will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Book-Entry Debt Securities

     The debt securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depository or its nominee identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. In this case, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or total denominations equal to the portion of the total principal amount of outstanding debt securities to be represented by the global security or securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be registered for transfer or exchange except as a whole by the depository for the global security to a nominee of the depository and except in the circumstances described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. We will describe in the prospectus supplement the terms of any depositary arrangement and the rights and limitations of owners of beneficial interests in any global debt security. (Sections 204 and 305)

Restrictive Covenants

          In this section we describe the principal covenants that will apply to the debt securities unless the prospectus supplement for a particular series of debt securities states otherwise. We make use of several defined terms in this section. The definitions for these terms are located at the end of this section under “—Definitions Applicable to Covenants.”

     Restrictions on Secured Debt

          If we or any Domestic Subsidiary shall incur, assume or guarantee any Debt secured by a Mortgage on any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property or on any shares of stock or debt of any Domestic Subsidiary, we will secure, or cause such Domestic Subsidiary to secure, the debt securities then outstanding equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt. However, we will not be restricted by this covenant if, after giving effect to the particular Debt so secured the total amount of all Debt so secured, together with all Attributable Debt in respect of sale and leaseback transactions involving Principal Domestic Manufacturing Properties, would not exceed 5% of our and our consolidated subsidiaries’ Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

          In addition, the restriction will not apply to, and there shall be excluded in computing secured Debt for the purpose of the restriction, Debt secured by

	(1)		Mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock or debt of, any corporation existing at the time the corporation becomes a Domestic Subsidiary;
	(2)		Mortgages in favor of us or a Domestic Subsidiary;
	(3)		Mortgages in favor of U.S. governmental bodies to secure progress or advance payments;
	(4)		Mortgages on property, shares of stock or debt existing at the time of their acquisition, including acquisition through merger or consolidation, purchase money Mortgages and construction cost Mortgages; and
	(5)		any extension, renewal or refunding of any Mortgage referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) through (4), inclusive. (Section 1004)

          The indenture does not restrict the incurrence of unsecured debt by us or our subsidiaries.

     Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks

          Neither we nor any Domestic Subsidiary may enter into any sale and leaseback transaction involving any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property, the completion of construction and commencement of full operation of which has occurred more than 120 days prior to the transaction, unless

	•		we or the Domestic Subsidiary could incur a lien on the property under the restrictions described above under “Restrictions on Secured Debt” in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to the sale and leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing the debt securities then outstanding or
	•		we, within 120 days, apply to the retirement of our Funded Debt an amount not less than the greater of (1) the net proceeds of the sale of the Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property leased pursuant to such arrangement or (2) the fair value of the Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property so leased, subject to credits for various voluntary retirements of Funded Debt.
			This restriction will not apply to any sale and leaseback transaction

	•		between us and a Domestic Subsidiary,
	•		between Domestic Subsidiaries or
	•		involving the taking back of a lease for a period of less than three years. (Section 1005)

     Definitions Applicable to Covenants

          The term “Attributable Debt” means the total net amount of rent, discounted at 10% per annum compounded annually, required to be paid during the remaining term of any lease.

          The term “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means the total amount of assets, less applicable reserves and other properly deductible items, after deducting (a) all current liabilities and (b) all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense and other like intangibles, all as described on our and our consolidated subsidiaries’ most recent balance sheet and computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

          The term “Debt” means notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed.

          The term “Domestic Subsidiary” means any of our subsidiaries except a subsidiary which neither transacts any substantial portion of its business nor regularly maintains any substantial portion of its fixed assets within the United States or which is engaged primarily in financing our and our subsidiaries’ operations outside the United States.

          The term “Funded Debt” means Debt having a maturity of, or by its terms extendible or renewable for, a period of more than 12 months after the date of determination of the amount of Debt.

          The term “Mortgage” means pledges, mortgages and other liens.

          The term “Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property” means any facility (together with the land on which it is erected and fixtures comprising a part of the land) used primarily for manufacturing or processing, located in the United States, owned or leased by us or one of our subsidiaries and having a gross book value in excess of ³/4 of 1% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. However, the term “Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property” does not include any facility or portion of a facility (1) which is a pollution control or other facility financed by obligations issued by a state or local governmental unit pursuant to Section 103(b)(4)(E), 103(b)(4)(F) or 103(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, or any successor provision thereof, or (2) which, in the opinion of our board of directors, is not of material importance to the total business conducted by us and our subsidiaries as an entirety.

Events of Default

          Any one of the following are events of default under the indenture with respect to debt securities of any series:

	(1)		our failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, on any debt security of that series when due;
	(2)		our failure to pay any interest on any debt security of that series when due, continued for 30 days;
	(3)		our failure to deposit any sinking fund payment, when due, in respect of any debt security of that series;
	(4)		our failure to perform any other of our covenants in the indenture, other than a covenant included in the indenture solely for the benefit of other series of debt securities, continued for 90 days after written notice as provided in the indenture;
	(5)		certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; and
	(6)		any other event of default provided with respect to debt securities of that series. (Section 501)

          If an event of default with respect to outstanding debt securities of any series shall occur and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the debt securities of that series are original issue discount securities, the portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, under some circumstances, rescind and annul the acceleration. (Section 502) For information as to waiver of defaults, see the section below entitled “Modification and Waiver”.

          A prospectus supplement relating to each series of debt securities which are original issue discount securities will describe the particular provisions relating to acceleration of the maturity of a portion of the principal amount of such original issue discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default and its continuation.

          During default, the trustee has a duty to act with the required standard of care. Otherwise, the indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders shall have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity. (Section 603) If the provisions for indemnification of the trustee have been satisfied, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series. (Section 512)

          We will furnish to the trustee annually a certificate as to our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture. (Section 1007)

Defeasance

          The prospectus supplement will state if any defeasance provision will apply to the debt securities. Defeasance refers to the discharge of some or all of our obligations under the indenture.

     Defeasance and Discharge

          We will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series if we deposit with the trustee, in trust, money and/or U.S. government securities which through the payment of interest and principal will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and each installment of interest on the debt securities of the series on the dates those payments are due and payable.

          If we defease a series of debt securities, the holders of the debt securities of the series will not be entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except for

	•		the rights of holders to receive from the trust funds payment of principal, premium and interest on the debt securities,
	•		our obligation to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series,
	•		our obligation to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series,
	•		our obligation to maintain paying agencies,
	•		our obligation to hold monies for payment in trust and
	•		the rights of holders to benefit, as applicable, from the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee.
			We may defease a series of debt securities only if, among other things:
	•		we have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that holders and beneficial owners of the debt securities of the series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred, and
	•		we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel, who may be our employee or counsel, to the effect that the debt securities of the series, if then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, will not be delisted as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge. (Section 403)

     Defeasance of Covenants and Events of Default

          We may omit to comply with the covenants described above under “Restrictions on Secured Debt” (Section 1004) and “Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks” (Section 1005), and the failure to comply with these covenants will not be deemed an event of default (Section 501(4)), if we deposit with the trustee, in trust, money and/or U.S. government securities which through the payment of interest and principal will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and each installment of interest on the debt securities of the series on the dates those payments are due and payable. Our obligations under the indenture and the debt securities of the series will remain in full force and effect, other than with respect to the defeased covenants and related events of default.

          We may defease the covenants and the related events of default described above only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel, who may be our employee or counsel, to the effect that

	•		the holders and beneficial owners of the debt securities of the series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and defeasance of the covenants and events of default, and the holders and beneficial owners of the debt securities of the series will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and defeasance had not occurred, and
	•		the debt securities of the series, if then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, will not be delisted as a result of the deposit and defeasance. (Section 1006)

          If we choose covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of any series as described above and the debt securities of the series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any event of default other than the event of default described in clause (4) under “Events of Default”, the amount of money and U.S.

government securities on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of the series at the time of their stated maturity. The amount on deposit with the trustee may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of the series at the time of the acceleration resulting from the event of default. However, we will remain liable for these payments.

Modification and Waiver

          Procter & Gamble and the trustee may make modifications of and amendments to the indenture if the holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modification or amendment consent to the modification or amendment.

          However, the consent of the holder of each debt security affected will be required for any modification or amendment that

	•		changes the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any debt security,
	•		reduces the principal amount of, or the premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any debt security,
	•		reduces the amount of principal of an original issue discount security payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the security,
	•		changes the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any debt security,
	•		impairs the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any debt security, or
	•		reduces the percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series necessary to modify or amend the indenture or to waive compliance with various provisions of the indenture or to waive various defaults. (Section 902)

          Without the consent of any holder of debt securities, we and the trustee may make modifications or amendments to the indenture in order to

	•		evidence the succession of another person to us and the assumption by that person of the covenants in the indenture,
	•		add to the covenants for the benefit of the holders,
	•		add additional events of default,
	•		permit or facilitate the issuance of securities in bearer form or uncertificated form,
	•		add to, change, or eliminate any provision of the indenture in respect of a series of debt securities to be created in the future,
	•		secure the securities as required by “Restrictions on Secured Debt,”
	•		establish the form or terms of securities of any series,
	•		evidence the appointment of a successor trustee, or
	•		cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with another provision, or make any other provision, provided that any action may not adversely affect the interests of holders of

debt securities in any material respect.

          The holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive compliance by us with various restrictive provisions of the indenture. (Section 1008)

          The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive any past default with respect to that series, except

	•		a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any debt security of that series, or
	•		a default in respect of a provision which under the indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of that series that would be affected. (Section 513)

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

          If the conditions below are met, we may, without the consent of any holders of outstanding debt securities:

	•		consolidate or merge with or into another entity, or
	•		transfer or lease our assets as an entirety to another entity.

          We have agreed that we will engage in a consolidation, merger or transfer or lease of assets as an entirety only if

	•		the entity formed by the consolidation or into which we are merged or which acquires or leases our assets is a corporation, partnership or trust organized and existing under the laws of any United States jurisdiction and assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture,
	•		after giving effect to the transaction no event of default would have happened and be continuing, and
	•		various other conditions are met. (Article Eight)

Regarding the Trustee

          The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., (as successor-in-interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association), is the trustee under the indenture, and also serves as trustee under the indenture relating to the debt securities of PGIF. The Bank of New York Trust Company is a depositary of Procter & Gamble. In addition, affiliates of The Bank of New York Trust Company may perform various commercial banking and investment banking services for Procter & Gamble and its subsidiaries from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

DESCRIPTION OF PGIF DEBT SECURITIES

          This section describes the general terms and provisions of any debt securities that PGIF may offer in the future. A prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will describe the specific terms of that particular series and the extent to which the general terms and provisions apply to that particular series. In this section, references to “PGIF,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer solely to Procter & Gamble International Funding SCA, and references to “Procter & Gamble” refer to The Procter & Gamble Company.

General

          We expect to issue the debt securities under an indenture, dated as of July 6, 2007, among PGIF, as issuer, Procter & Gamble, as guarantor and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. We have filed a copy of the indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The following summaries of various provisions of the indenture are not complete. You should read the indenture for a more complete understanding of the provisions described in this section. The indenture itself, not this description or the description in the prospectus supplement, defines your rights as a holder of debt securities. Parenthetical section and article numbers in this description refer to sections and articles in the indenture.

          The debt securities will be unsecured obligations of PGIF and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by The Procter & Gamble Company. The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue under the indenture. The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series.

Terms of a Particular Series

          Each prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will include specific information relating to the offering. This information will include some or all of the following terms of the debt securities of the series:

	•		the title of the debt securities;
	•		any limit on the total principal amount of the debt securities;
	•		the date or dates on which the debt securities will mature;
	•		the rate or rates, which may be fixed or variable, at which the debt securities will bear interest, if any, and the date or dates from which interest will accrue;
	•		the dates on which interest, if any, will be payable and the regular record dates for interest payments;
	•		any mandatory or optional sinking fund or similar provisions;
	•		any optional or mandatory redemption provisions, including the price at which, the periods within which, and the terms and conditions upon which we may redeem or repurchase the debt securities;
	•		the terms and conditions upon which the debt securities may be repayable prior to final maturity at the option of the holder;
	•		the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities that will be payable upon acceleration of maturity, if other than the entire principal amount;
	•		provisions allowing us to defease the debt securities or certain restrictive covenants and certain events of default under the indenture;

	•		if other than in United States dollars, the currency or currencies, including composite currencies, of payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities;
	•		the federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any debt securities denominated in a currency or currencies other than United States dollars;
	•		any index used to determine the amount of payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities;
	•		if the debt securities will be issuable only in the form of a global security as described below, the depository or its nominee with respect to the debt securities and the circumstances under which the global security may be registered for transfer or exchange in the name of a person other than the depository or its nominee; and
	•		any other terms of the debt securities. (Section 301)

Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest

          Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities will be payable, and the debt securities will be exchangeable and transfers of debt securities will be registrable, at the office of the trustee at Global Corporate Trust, 2 North LaSalle Street, Suite 1020, Chicago, IL 60602. At our option, however, payment of interest may be made by:

	•		wire transfer on the date of payment in immediately available federal funds or next day funds to an account specified by written notice to the trustee from any holder of debt securities;
	•		any similar manner that the holder may designate in writing to the trustee; or
	•		check mailed to the address of the holder as it appears in the security register. (Sections 301, 305 and 1002)

          Any payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, required to be made on a day that is not a business day need not be made on that day, but may be made on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect as if made on the non-business day. No interest will accrue for the period from and after the non-business day. (Section 113)

          Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt securities, we will issue the debt securities only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 or any multiple of $1,000. (Section 302) We will not require a service charge for any transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any transfer or exchange. (Section 305)

Guarantee

          Procter & Gamble will fully and unconditionally guarantee the due and punctual payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities on a senior unsecured basis, when and as the same become due and payable, whether on a maturity date, by declaration or acceleration, upon redemption, repurchase or otherwise, and all other obligations of PGIF under the indenture.

Original Issue Discount Securities

          Debt securities may be issued under the indenture as original issue discount securities to be offered and sold at a substantial discount from their stated principal amount. An original issue discount security under the indenture includes any security which provides for an amount less than its principal amount to be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default. In addition, under regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department it is possible that debt securities which are offered and sold at their stated principal amount

would, under certain circumstances, be treated as issued at an original issue discount for federal income tax purposes, and special rules may apply to debt securities which are considered to be issued as “investment units”. Federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any such original issue discount securities, or other debt securities treated as issued at an original issue discount, and to “investment units” will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Additional Amounts

          All payments made by PGIF under or with respect to the debt securities will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Luxembourg (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) and any interest, penalties and other liabilities with respect thereto (hereinafter collectively, “Taxes”) unless PGIF is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law (including any law or directive of the European Union) or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In the event that PGIF is required to so withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment under or with respect to the debt securities PGIF will pay such additional amounts (referred to herein as “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount (including Additional Amounts) received by each holder of the debt securities after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided, however, that PGIF will not be required to pay any such Additional Amounts with respect to any payment to a holder of a debt security for or on account of:

(a) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld but for the existence of any present or former personal or business connection between such holder or the beneficial owner of such debt security, as the case may be, and Luxembourg (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) other than the mere receipt of such payment or the ownership or holding of such debt security;

(b) any estate, inheritance, net wealth, gift, sales, value added, transfer, stamp, excise or personal property tax or any similar Taxes;

(c) any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from a payment to such holder or the beneficial owner of such debt security;

(d) any Taxes imposed, deducted or withheld as a result of the failure of such holder or the beneficial owner of such debt security to duly and timely comply with any applicable certification, information, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with Luxembourg (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) of such holder or the beneficial owner of such debt security, as the case may be, or to make any valid or timely declaration or similar claim, if such compliance or such declaration or similar claim is required by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of Luxembourg (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) as a precondition to relief or exemption from all or part of such Taxes;

(e) any Taxes which would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld but for the presentation of such debt security for payment on a date more than 10 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(f) any Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to a law in effect as of the date hereof, including any withholding under the European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive on the taxation of savings implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN council meeting of 26th-27th November, 2000, or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive;

(g) any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld by any paying agent from any payment in respect of such debt security if such payment could be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;

(h) any Taxes imposed on or deducted or withheld from a payment to such holder or the beneficial owner of such debt security that is not the sole beneficial owner of such debt security or is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other similar entity, but only to the extent that a beneficial owner of such debt security, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or member of such partnership, limited liability company or similar entity would not have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had such beneficial owner, settlor, beneficiary or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of such payment; or

(i) any combination of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) above.

          PGIF will also make any applicable withholding or deduction and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. PGIF will furnish to the trustee, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing payment of such Taxes or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to PGIF, such other documentation reasonably acceptable to the trustee evidencing such payment by PGIF.

          PGIF will pay any issue, registration, documentation, stamp or other similar taxes or duties imposed by Luxembourg (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in connection with the execution, delivery, payment or performance of the indenture, the debt securities or the guarantee and shall indemnify each holder and beneficial owner of the debt securities for all liabilities arising from any failure to pay, or delay in paying, such taxes or duties.

Redemption for Changes in Withholding Taxes

          The debt securities also may be redeemed at the option of PGIF, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debt securities to be redeemed, together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption, at any time, on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (which notice shall be irrevocable), if (a) PGIF has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of Luxembourg or any political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in or amendment to an official application, interpretation, administration or enforcement of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date hereof or (b) any action shall have been taken by any taxing authority, or any action has been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, in Luxembourg or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, including any of those actions specified in (a) above (whether or not such action was taken or brought with respect to PGIF) or any change, clarification, amendment, application or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings shall be officially proposed, in any case on or after the date hereof, which results in a substantial likelihood that PGIF will be required to pay Additional Amounts on the next interest payment date; provided, however, that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which PGIF would be, in the case of a redemption for the reasons specified in (a) above, or there would be a substantial likelihood that PGIF would be, in the case of a redemption for the reasons specified in (b) above, obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the debt securities were then due. Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, PGIF shall deliver to the trustee a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of PGIF stating that PGIF is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent of the right of PGIF so to redeem have occurred.

Book-Entry Debt Securities

          The debt securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depository or its nominee identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. In this case, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or total denominations equal to the portion of the total principal amount of outstanding debt securities to be represented by the global security or securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be registered for transfer or exchange except as a whole by the depository for the global security to a nominee of the depository and except in the circumstances described in the prospectus supplement relating to the

debt securities. We will describe in the prospectus supplement the terms of any depositary arrangement and the rights and limitations of owners of beneficial interests in any global debt security. (Sections 204 and 305)

Restrictive Covenants

          In this section we describe the principal covenants that will apply to the debt securities unless the prospectus supplement for a particular series of debt securities states otherwise. We make use of several defined terms in this section. The definitions for these terms are located at the end of this section under “—Definitions Applicable to Covenants.”

     Restrictions on Secured Debt

          If Procter & Gamble or any Domestic Subsidiary shall incur, assume or guarantee any Debt secured by a Mortgage on any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property or on any shares of stock or debt of any Domestic Subsidiary, we will cause Procter & Gamble or such Domestic Subsidiary to secure the debt securities then outstanding and/or the Procter & Gamble guarantee of the debt securities then outstanding, as the case may be, equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt. However, this restriction will not apply if, after giving effect to the particular Debt so secured the total amount of all Debt so secured, together with all Attributable Debt in respect of sale and leaseback transactions involving Principal Domestic Manufacturing Properties, would not exceed 15% of Procter & Gamble’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

          In addition, the restriction will not apply to, and there shall be excluded in computing secured Debt for the purpose of the restriction, Debt secured by

	(1)		Mortgages on property of, or on any shares of stock or debt of, any corporation existing at the time the corporation becomes a Domestic Subsidiary;
	(2)		Mortgages in favor of Procter & Gamble or a Domestic Subsidiary;
	(3)		Mortgages in favor of U.S. governmental bodies to secure progress or advance payments;
	(4)		Mortgages on property, shares of stock or debt existing at the time of their acquisition, including acquisition through merger or consolidation, purchase money Mortgages and construction cost Mortgages; and
	(5)		any extension, renewal or refunding of any Mortgage referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) through (4), inclusive. (Section 1004)

          The indenture does not restrict the incurrence of unsecured debt by us or the incurrence of unsecured debt by Procter & Gamble or its other subsidiaries.

     Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks

          Neither Procter & Gamble nor any Domestic Subsidiary may enter into any sale and leaseback transaction involving any Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property, the completion of construction and commencement of full operation of which has occurred more than 120 days prior to the transaction, unless

	•		Procter & Gamble or the Domestic Subsidiary could incur a lien on the property under the restrictions described above under “Restrictions on Secured Debt” in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to the sale and leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing the debt securities then outstanding or
	•		within 120 days, Procter & Gamble applies to the retirement of Funded Debt of Procter & Gamble an amount not less than the greater of (1) the net proceeds of the sale of the Principal Domestic Manufacturing

Property leased pursuant to such arrangement or (2) the fair value of the Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property so leased, subject to credits for various voluntary retirements of Funded Debt of Procter & Gamble.

          This restriction will not apply to any sale and leaseback transaction

	•		between Procter & Gamble and a Domestic Subsidiary,
	•		between Domestic Subsidiaries or
	•		involving the taking back of a lease for a period of less than three years. (Section 1005)

     PGIF

          PGIF may not engage in any business activities other than those related to (a) financing the business and operations of Procter & Gamble or any of its subsidiaries, (b) the establishment and maintenance of its existence, and (c) any activities related or ancillary thereto or necessary in connection therewith.

     Definitions Applicable to Covenants

          The term “Attributable Debt” means the total net amount of rent, discounted at 10% per annum compounded annually, required to be paid during the remaining term of any lease.

          The term “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” means the total amount of assets, less applicable reserves and other properly deductible items, after deducting (a) all current liabilities and (b) all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense and other like intangibles, all as described on Procter & Gamble’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ most recent balance sheet and computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

          The term “Debt” means notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed.

          The term “Domestic Subsidiary” means any subsidiary of Procter & Gamble except (i) PGIF and (ii) a subsidiary which neither transacts any substantial portion of its business nor regularly maintains any substantial portion of its fixed assets within the United States or which is engaged primarily in financing Procter & Gamble and Procter & Gamble’s subsidiaries’ operations outside the United States.

          The term “Funded Debt” means Debt having a maturity of, or by its terms extendible or renewable for, a period of more than 12 months after the date of determination of the amount of Debt.

          The term “Mortgage” means pledges, mortgages and other liens.

          The term “Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property” means any facility (together with the land on which it is erected and fixtures comprising a part of the land) used primarily for manufacturing or processing, located in the United States, owned or leased by Procter & Gamble or one of its subsidiaries and having a gross book value in excess of ³/4 of 1% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. However, the term “Principal Domestic Manufacturing Property” does not include any facility or portion of a facility (1) which is a pollution control or other facility financed by obligations issued by a state or local governmental unit pursuant to Section 103(b)(4)(E), 103(b)(4)(F) or 103(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, or any successor provision thereof, or (2) which, in the opinion of the board of directors of Procter & Gamble, is not of material importance to the total business conducted by Procter & Gamble and its subsidiaries as an entirety.

Events of Default

Any one of the following are events of default under the indenture with respect to each series of debt securities:

(1)		the failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, on any debt security of that series when due;
(2)		the failure to pay any interest on any debt security of that series when due, continued for 30 days;
(3)		the failure to deposit any sinking fund payment, when due, in respect of any debt security of that series;
(4)		the failure by us or Procter & Gamble to perform any other of the covenants in the indenture, other than a covenant included in the indenture solely for the benefit of other series of debt securities, continued for 90 days after written notice as provided in the indenture;
(5)		release of Procter & Gamble from its obligations in respect of its guarantee of any debt security of that series;
(6)		certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us or Procter & Gamble; and
(7)		any other event of default provided with respect to debt securities of that series. (Section 501)

          If an event of default with respect to outstanding debt securities of any series shall occur and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the debt securities of that series are original issue discount securities, the portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, under some circumstances, rescind and annul the acceleration. (Section 502) For information as to waiver of defaults, see the section below entitled “Modification and Waiver”.

          A prospectus supplement relating to each series of debt securities which are original issue discount securities will describe the particular provisions relating to acceleration of the maturity of a portion of the principal amount of such original issue discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default and its continuation.

          During a default, the trustee has a duty to act with the required standard of care. Otherwise, the indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders shall have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity. (Section 603) If the provisions for indemnification of the trustee have been satisfied, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series. (Section 512)

          We and Procter & Gamble will furnish to the trustee annually a certificate as to the compliance by us and Procter & Gamble with all conditions and covenants under the indenture. (Section 1007)

Defeasance

          The prospectus supplement will state if any defeasance provision will apply to the debt securities. Defeasance refers to the discharge of some or all of our obligations under the indenture and Procter & Gamble’s obligations in respect of its guarantee of the debt securities.

     Defeasance and Discharge

          We will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series, and Procter & Gamble will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of its guarantee of the debt securities of any series, if we or Procter & Gamble deposit with the trustee, in trust, money and/or U.S. government securities which through the payment of interest and principal will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and each installment of interest on the debt securities of the series on the dates those payments are due and payable.

          If a series of debt securities is defeased, the holders of the debt securities of the series will not be entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except for

	•		the rights of holders to receive from the trust funds payment of principal, premium and interest on the debt securities,
	•		the rights of holders to receive any Additional Amounts,
	•		the obligation to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series,
	•		the obligation to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series,
	•		the obligation to maintain paying agencies,
	•		the obligation to hold monies for payment in trust and
	•		the rights of holders to benefit, as applicable, from the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee.

          A series of debt securities may be defeased only if, among other things:

	•		we have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that holders and beneficial owners of the debt securities of the series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred, and
	•		we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel, who may be our employee or counsel, to the effect that the debt securities of the series, if then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, will not be delisted as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge. (Section 403)

     Defeasance of Covenants and Events of Default

          We and Procter & Gamble may omit to comply with the covenants described above under “Restrictions on Secured Debt” (Section 1004) and “Restrictions on Sales and Leasebacks” (Section 1005), and the failure to comply with these covenants will not be deemed an event of default (Section 501(4)), if we or Procter & Gamble deposit with the trustee, in trust, money and/or U.S. government securities which through the payment of interest and principal will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and each installment of interest on the debt securities of the series on the dates those payments are due and payable. Our obligations under the indenture and the debt securities of the series, and Procter & Gamble’s obligations in respect of its guarantee of the debt securities of the series, will remain in full force and effect, other than with respect to the defeased covenants and related events of default.

          The covenants and the related events of default described above may be defeased only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel, who may be our employee or counsel, to the effect that

	•		the holders and beneficial owners of the debt securities of the series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and defeasance of the covenants and events of default, and the holders and beneficial owners of the debt securities of the series will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and defeasance had not occurred, and
	•		the debt securities of the series, if then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, will not be delisted as a result of the deposit and defeasance. (Section 1006)

          If we choose covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of any series as described above and the debt securities of the series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any event of default other than the event of default described in clause (4) under “Events of Default”, the amount of money and U.S. government securities on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of the series at the time of their stated maturity. The amount on deposit with the trustee may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of the series at the time of the acceleration resulting from the event of default. However, we and Procter & Gamble will remain liable for these payments.

Modification and Waiver

          PGIF, Procter & Gamble and the trustee may make modifications of and amendments to the indenture if the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modification or amendment consent to the modification or amendment.

          However, the consent of the holder of each debt security affected will be required for any modification or amendment that

	•		changes the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any debt security,
	•		reduces the principal amount of, or the premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any debt security,
	•		reduces the amount of principal of an original issue discount security payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the security,
	•		changes the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any debt security,
	•		releases Procter & Gamble from its obligation in respect of the guarantee of any debt security,
	•		impairs the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any debt security, or
	•		reduces the percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series necessary to modify or amend the indenture or to waive compliance with various provisions of the indenture or to waive various defaults. (Section 902)

          Without the consent of any holder of debt securities, PGIF, Procter & Gamble and the trustee may make modifications or amendments to the indenture in order to

•

evidence the succession of another person to us or Procter & Gamble, as the case may be, and the assumption by that person of the covenants in the indenture,

	•		add to the covenants for the benefit of the holders,
	•		add additional events of default,
	•		permit or facilitate the issuance of securities in bearer form or uncertificated form,
	•		add to, change, or eliminate any provision of the indenture in respect of a series of debt securities to be created in the future,
	•		secure the securities or the Procter & Gamble guarantee of the securities as required by “Restrictions on Secured Debt,”
	•		establish the form or terms of securities of any series,
	•		evidence the appointment of a successor trustee, or
	•		cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with another provision, or make any other provision, provided that any action may not adversely affect the interests of holders of debt securities in any material respect.

          The holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive compliance by us or Procter & Gamble with various restrictive provisions of the indenture. (Section 1008)

          The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive any past default with respect to that series, except

	•		a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any debt security of that series, or
	•		a default in respect of a provision which under the indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of that series that would be affected. (Section 513)

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

          If the conditions below are met, PGIF and Procter & Gamble, as the case may be, may, without the consent of any holders of outstanding debt securities:

	•		consolidate or merge with or into another entity, or
	•		transfer or lease their assets as an entirety to another entity.

          PGIF may engage in a consolidation, merger or transfer or lease of assets as an entirety only if

	•		the entity formed by the consolidation or into which we are merged or which acquires or leases our assets is either Procter & Gamble or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or trust wholly owned by Procter & Gamble and organized and existing under the laws of any United States jurisdiction or any member country of the European Union and assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture,
	•		after giving effect to the transaction no event of default would have happened and be continuing, and
	•		various other conditions are met.

          In addition, Procter & Gamble may engage in a consolidation, merger or transfer or lease of assets as an entirety only if

	•		the entity formed by the consolidation or into which Procter & Gamble is merged or which acquires or leases Procter & Gamble’s assets is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or trust organized and existing under the laws of any United States jurisdiction and assumes all obligations of Procter & Gamble under the indenture and its guarantee of the debt securities,
	•		after giving effect to the transaction no event of default would have happened and be continuing, and
	•		various other conditions are met. (Article Eight)

Regarding the Trustee

          The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. is the trustee under the indenture, and also serves as trustee under the indenture relating to the debt securities of Procter & Gamble. The Bank of New York Trust Company is a depositary of Procter & Gamble. In addition, affiliates of The Bank of New York Trust Company may perform various commercial banking and investment banking services for Procter & Gamble and its subsidiaries from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

General

          We and/or PGIF may sell debt securities in one or more transactions from time to time to or through underwriters, who may act as principals or agents, directly to other purchasers or through agents to other purchasers.

          A prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of debt securities may include the following information:

	•		the terms of the offering,
	•		the names of any underwriters or agents,
	•		the purchase price of the securities,
	•		the net proceeds from the sale of the securities,
	•		any delayed delivery arrangements,
	•		any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation,
	•		any initial public offering price and
	•		any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

          The distribution of the debt securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

Underwriting Compensation

          In connection with the sale of debt securities, underwriters may receive compensation from us, PGIF or from purchasers for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell debt securities to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents.

          Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of debt securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions that they receive from us and/or PGIF and any profit that they receive on the resale of debt securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If any entity is deemed an underwriter or any amounts deemed underwriting discounts and commissions, the prospectus supplement will identify the underwriter or agent and describe the compensation received from us and/or PGIF.

Indemnification

          We and/or PGIF may enter agreements under which underwriters and agents who participate in the distribution of debt securities may be entitled to indemnification by us and/or PGIF against various liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make.

Related Transactions

          Various of the underwriters who participate in the distribution of debt securities, and their affiliates, may perform various commercial banking and investment banking services for us and PGIF from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

Delayed Delivery Contracts

          We and PGIF may authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by institutions to purchase debt securities from us and/or PGIF pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. These institutions may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all cases we and/or PGIF must approve these institutions. The obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the debt securities shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.

No Established Trading Market

          The debt securities, when first issued, will have no established trading market. Any underwriters or agents to or through whom we and/or PGIF sell debt securities for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the debt securities.

Price Stabilization and Short Positions

          If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, until the distribution of the securities is completed, rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission may limit the ability of any underwriters to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, representatives of any underwriters are permitted to engage in transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. If the underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection with the offering, i.e., if they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the prospectus supplement, the representatives of the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing securities in the open market.

          We and PGIF make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the securities. In addition, we and PGIF make no representation that the representatives of any underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

LEGAL OPINIONS

          In connection with particular offerings of the securities in the future, and if stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the validity of those securities may be passed upon for The Procter & Gamble Company by Susan S. Whaley, Senior Counsel or any Counsel, Senior Counsel or Associate General Counsel of the Company, for Procter & Gamble International Funding SCA by Arendt & Medernach, Luxembourg counsel for Procter & Gamble and PGIF, and for any underwriters or agents by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP or other counsel for the underwriters. Ms. Whaley or other counsel for the Company may rely as to matters of New York law upon the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP or other counsel for the underwriters, and may rely as to matters of Luxembourg law upon the opinion of Arendt & Medernach.
