cash flow | $ 1225 | $ 1001 | $ 534
year-over-year change | 22.4% ( 22.4 % ) | 87.5% ( 87.5 % ) |

investing activities our net cash used in investing activities for 2012 amounted to $ 3245 million , an increase of $ 2658 million compared with 2011 primarily attributable to the $ 2668 acquisition of pringles in capital spending in 2012 included investments in our supply chain infrastructure , and to support capacity requirements in certain markets , including pringles .

this three year authorization replaced previous share buyback programs which had authorized stock repurchases of up to $ 1.1 billion for 2010 and $ 650 million for 2009 .
under this program , we repurchased approximately 1 million , 15 million and 21 million shares of common stock for $ 63 million , $ 793 million and $ 1.1 billion during 2012 , 2011 and 2010 , respectively .

in march 2011 , we entered into an unsecured four- year credit agreement which allows us to borrow , on a revolving credit basis , up to $ 2.0 billion .
our long-term debt agreements contain customary covenants that limit kellogg company and some of its subsidiaries from incurring certain liens or from entering into certain sale and lease-back transactions .
some agreements also contain change in control provisions .
however , they do not contain acceleration of maturity clauses that are dependent on credit ratings .
a change in our credit ratings could limit our access to the u.s .
short-term debt market and/or increase the cost of refinancing long-term debt in the future .
however , even under these circumstances , we would continue to have access to our four-year credit agreement , which expires in march 2015 .
this source of liquidity is unused and available on an unsecured basis , although we do not currently plan to use it .
capital and credit markets , including commercial paper markets , continued to experience instability and disruption as the u.s .
and global economies underwent a period of extreme uncertainty .
throughout this period of uncertainty , we continued to have access to the u.s. , european , and canadian commercial paper markets .
our commercial paper and term debt credit ratings were not affected by the changes in the credit environment .
we monitor the financial strength of our third-party financial institutions , including those that hold our cash and cash equivalents as well as those who serve as counterparties to our credit facilities , our derivative financial instruments , and other arrangements .
we are in compliance with all covenants as of december 29 , 2012 .
we continue to believe that we will be able to meet our interest and principal repayment obligations and maintain our debt covenants for the foreseeable future , while still meeting our operational needs , including the pursuit of selected bolt-on acquisitions .
this will be accomplished through our strong cash flow , our short- term borrowings , and our maintenance of credit facilities on a global basis. .
