there is no goodwill assigned to reporting units within the balance sheet management segment . the following table shows the amount of goodwill allocated to each of the reporting units and the fair value as a percentage of book value for the reporting units in the trading and investing segment ( dollars in millions ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>reporting unit</td><td>december 31 2012 goodwill</td><td>december 31 2012 % ( % ) of fair value to book value</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>retail brokerage</td><td>$ 1791.8</td><td>190% ( 190 % )</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>market making</td><td>142.4</td><td>115% ( 115 % )</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>total goodwill</td><td>$ 1934.2</td><td>-</td></tr></table> we also evaluate the remaining useful lives on intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization . other intangible assets have a weighted average remaining useful life of 13 years . we did not recognize impairment on our other intangible assets in the periods presented . effects if actual results differ if our estimates of fair value for the reporting units change due to changes in our business or other factors , we may determine that an impairment charge is necessary . estimates of fair value are determined based on a complex model using estimated future cash flows and company comparisons . if actual cash flows are less than estimated future cash flows used in the annual assessment , then goodwill would have to be tested for impairment . the estimated fair value of the market making reporting unit as a percentage of book value was approximately 115% ( 115 % ) ; therefore , if actual cash flows are less than our estimated cash flows , goodwill impairment could occur in the market making reporting unit in the future . these cash flows will be monitored closely to determine if a further evaluation of potential impairment is necessary so that impairment could be recognized in a timely manner . in addition , following the review of order handling practices and pricing for order flow between e*trade securities llc and gi execution services , llc , our regulators may initiate investigations into our historical practices which could subject us to monetary penalties and cease-and-desist orders , which could also prompt claims by customers of e*trade securities llc . any of these actions could materially and adversely affect our market making and trade execution businesses , which could impact future cash flows and could result in goodwill impairment . intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives . if changes in the estimated underlying revenue occur , impairment or a change in the remaining life may need to be recognized . estimates of effective tax rates , deferred taxes and valuation allowance description in preparing the consolidated financial statements , we calculate income tax expense ( benefit ) based on our interpretation of the tax laws in the various jurisdictions where we conduct business . this requires us to estimate current tax obligations and the realizability of uncertain tax positions and to assess temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities . these differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities , the net amount of which we show as other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet . we must also assess the likelihood that each of the deferred tax assets will be realized . to the extent we believe that realization is not more likely than not , we establish a valuation allowance . when we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a reporting period , we generally record a corresponding tax expense in the consolidated statement of income ( loss ) . conversely , to the extent circumstances indicate that a valuation allowance is no longer necessary , that portion of the valuation allowance is reversed , which generally reduces overall income tax expense . at december 31 , 2012 we had net deferred tax assets of $ 1416.2 million , net of a valuation allowance ( on state , foreign country and charitable contribution deferred tax assets ) of $ 97.8 million. .

in november 2016 , we issued $ 45 million of fixed rate term notes in two tranches to two insurance companies . principal payments commence in 2023 and 2028 and the notes mature in 2029 and 2034 , respectively . the notes carry interest rates of 2.87 and 3.10 , respectively . we used proceeds of the notes to pay down borrowings under our revolving credit facility . in january 2015 , we issued $ 75 million of fixed rate term notes to an insurance company . principal payments commence in 2020 and the notes mature in 2030 . the notes carry an interest rate of 3.52 percent . we used proceeds of the notes to pay down borrowings under our revolving credit facility . at december 31 , 2016 , we had available borrowing capacity of $ 310.8 million under this facility . we believe that the combination of cash , available borrowing capacity and operating cash flow will provide sufficient funds to finance our existing operations for the foreseeable future . our total debt increased to $ 323.6 million at december 31 , 2016 compared with $ 249.0 million at december 31 , 2015 , as our cash flows generated in the u.s were more than offset by our share repurchase activity and our purchase of aquasana . as a result , our leverage , as measured by the ratio of total debt to total capitalization , was 17.6 percent at the end of 2016 compared with 14.7 percent at the end of 2015 . our u.s . pension plan continues to meet all funding requirements under erisa regulations . we were not required to make a contribution to our pension plan in 2016 but made a voluntary $ 30 million contribution due to escalating pension benefit guaranty corporation insurance premiums . we forecast that we will not be required to make a contribution to the plan in 2017 and we do not plan to make any voluntary contributions in 2017 . for further information on our pension plans , see note 10 of the notes to consolidated financial statements . during 2016 , our board of directors authorized the purchase of an additional 3000000 shares of our common stock . in 2016 , we repurchased 3273109 shares at an average price of $ 41.30 per share and a total cost of $ 135.2 million . a total of 4906403 shares remained on the existing repurchase authorization at december 31 , 2016 . depending on factors such as stock price , working capital requirements and alternative investment opportunities , such as acquisitions , we expect to spend approximately $ 135 million on share repurchase activity in 2017 using a 10b5-1 repurchase plan . in addition , we may opportunistically repurchase an additional $ 65 million of our shares in 2017 . we have paid dividends for 77 consecutive years with payments increasing each of the last 25 years . we paid dividends of $ 0.48 per share in 2016 compared with $ 0.38 per share in 2015 . in january 2017 , we increased our dividend by 17 percent and anticipate paying dividends of $ 0.56 per share in 2017 . aggregate contractual obligations a summary of our contractual obligations as of december 31 , 2016 , is as follows: . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( dollars in millions ) contractual obligations</td><td>( dollars in millions ) total</td><td>( dollars in millions ) less than1 year</td><td>( dollars in millions ) 1 - 2years</td><td>( dollars in millions ) 3 - 5years</td><td>more than5 years</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>long-term debt</td><td>$ 323.6</td><td>$ 7.2</td><td>$ 7.2</td><td>$ 202.9</td><td>$ 106.3</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>fixed rate interest</td><td>38.6</td><td>4.6</td><td>8.1</td><td>7.2</td><td>18.7</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>operating leases</td><td>37.4</td><td>19.5</td><td>7.9</td><td>4.2</td><td>5.8</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>purchase obligations</td><td>150.8</td><td>141.4</td><td>5.8</td><td>3.6</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>pension and post-retirement obligations</td><td>66.0</td><td>0.9</td><td>9.5</td><td>8.6</td><td>47.0</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>total</td><td>$ 616.4</td><td>$ 173.6</td><td>$ 38.5</td><td>$ 226.5</td><td>$ 177.8</td></tr></table> as of december 31 , 2016 , our liability for uncertain income tax positions was $ 4.2 million . due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding timing of potential future cash flows associated with these liabilities , we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid . we utilize blanket purchase orders to communicate expected annual requirements to many of our suppliers . requirements under blanket purchase orders generally do not become committed until several weeks prior to our scheduled unit production . the purchase obligation amount presented above represents the value of commitments that we consider firm . recent accounting pronouncements refer to recent accounting pronouncements in note 1 of notes to consolidated financial statements. .

excluding facility closure costs ) in 2010 . sales volumes for the legacy business were about flat in 2012 compared with 2011 . average sales price was lower mainly due to export containerboard sales prices which bottomed out in the first quarter but climbed steadily the rest of the year . input costs were lower for recycled fiber , wood and natural gas , but higher for starch . freight costs also increased . plan- ned maintenance downtime costs were higher than in 2011 . operating costs were higher largely due to routine inventory valuation adjustments operating profits in 2012 benefited from

scheduled at eight mills compared with six mills in the 2012 fourth quarter . manufacturing operating costs are expected to be lower . european industr ia l packaging net sales were $ 1.0 billion in

and $ 70 mil- lion ( $ 73 million before closure costs for our etienne mill ) in 2010 . sales volumes in 2012 were lower than in 2011 reflecting decreased demand for packaging in the industrial market due to a weaker overall economic environment in southern europe . demand for pack- aging in the agricultural markets was about flat year- over-year . average sales margins increased due to sales price increases implemented during 2011 and 2012 and lower board costs . other input costs were higher , primarily for energy and distribution . operat- ing profits in 2012 included a net gain of $ 10 million for an insurance settlement , partially offset by addi- tional operating costs , related to the earthquakes in northern italy in may which affected our san felice box plant . entering the first quarter of 2013 , sales volumes are expected to be stable reflecting a seasonal decrease in market demand in agricultural markets offset by an increase in industrial markets . average sales margins are expected to improve due to lower input costs for containerboard . other input costs should be about flat . operating costs are expected to be higher reflecting the absence of the
