Revolving Credit Facility

In August 2019, the Company entered into a $2.0 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders. U.S. Dollar-denominated borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or if such London Inter-bank Offered Rate is no longer available, the agreed alternate rate of interest ("LIBOR") (but no less than 0%) for the interest period in effect for such borrowing plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.50%; or (ii) the sum of (x) the greatest of (a) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s prime lending rate, (b) the U.S. federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) LIBOR (but no less than 0%) for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus (y) an applicable margin ranging from 0% to 0.50%. Following an amendment to the revolving credit facility in December 2021, (i) Euro-denominated borrowings will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR"), or if EURIBOR is no longer available, the agreed alternate rate of interest (but no less than 0%) for the interest period in effect for such borrowing and (ii) Pounds Sterling-denominated borrowings will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), or if SONIA is no longer available, the agreed alternate rate of interest (but no less than 0%), in each case, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.50%. Undrawn balances available under the revolving credit facility are subject to commitment fees at the applicable rate ranging from 0.07% to 0.20%.

The revolving credit facility provides for the issuance of up to $80 million of letters of credit as well as borrowings of up to $100 million on same-day notice, referred to as swingline loans. Other than swingline loans, which are available only in U.S. Dollars, borrowings and letters of credit under the revolving credit facility may be made in U.S. Dollars, Euros, British Pounds Sterling, and any other foreign currency agreed to by the lenders. The proceeds of loans made under the facility can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, share repurchases, and debt repayments. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding and $14 million and $4 million, respectively, of letters of credit issued under this revolving credit facility.

The revolving credit facility contains a maximum leverage ratio covenant, compliance with which is a condition to the
Company's ability to borrow thereunder. In 2020, the Company amended the revolving credit facility to (i) suspend the maximum leverage ratio covenant through and including the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was replaced with a $4.5 billion minimum liquidity covenant based on unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and unused capacity under the revolving credit facility and (ii) increase the permitted maximum leverage ratio from and including the three months ended June 30, 2022 through and including the three months ending March 31, 2023. The Company cannot declare or make any cash distribution and cannot repurchase any of its shares (with certain exceptions including in connection with tax withholding related to shares issued to employees) unless it is in compliance on a pro forma basis with the maximum leverage ratio covenant then in effect. Such restriction ends upon delivery of financial statements required for the three months ending June 30, 2023, or the Company has the ability to terminate this restriction earlier if it demonstrates compliance with the original maximum leverage ratio covenant in the revolving credit facility. Beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2022, the minimum liquidity covenant ceased to apply and the maximum leverage ratio covenant, as increased, was again in effect.

Fair Value of Debt

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the estimated fair value of the outstanding debt was approximately $12.4 billion and $12.1 billion, respectively, and was considered a "Level 2" fair value measurement (see Note 2). Fair value was estimated based upon actual trades at the end of the reporting period or the most recent trade available as well as the Company's stock price at the end of the reporting period. As of December 31, 2022, the outstanding principal amount of the Company's debt exceeds the fair value of debt mainly due to the increase in interest rates partially offset by the conversion premium on the convertible senior notes due in May 2025. The estimated fair value of the Company's debt in excess of the outstanding principal amount at December 31, 2021 primarily relates to the conversion premium on the convertible senior notes due in May 2025 and the outstanding senior notes due in April 2030.

Convertible Senior Notes

In April 2020, the Company issued $863 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due in May 2025 with an interest rate of 0.75% (the "May 2025 Notes"). The Company paid $19 million in debt issuance costs during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to the issuance. The May 2025 Notes are convertible, subject to certain conditions, into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $1,886.44 per share. The May 2025 Notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, prior to November 1, 2024, upon the occurrence of specific events, including but not limited to a change in control, or if the closing sales price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is more than 130% of the conversion price in effect for the notes on the last trading day of the immediately preceding quarter. In the event that all or substantially all of the Company's common stock is acquired on or prior to the maturity of the May 2025 Notes in a transaction in which the consideration paid to holders of the Company's common stock consists of all or substantially all cash, the Company would be required to make additional payments in the form of additional shares of common stock to the holders of the May 2025 Notes in an aggregate value ranging from $0 to $235 million depending upon the date of the transaction and the then current stock price of the Company. Starting on November 1, 2024, holders will have the right to convert all or any portion of the May 2025 Notes, regardless of the Company's stock price. The May 2025 Notes may not be redeemed by the Company prior to maturity. The holders may require the Company to repurchase the May 2025 Notes for cash in certain circumstances. Interest on the May 2025 Notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. If the note holders exercise their option to convert, the Company delivers cash to repay the principal amount of the notes and delivers shares of common stock or cash, at its option, to satisfy the conversion value in excess of the principal amount. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock for the prescribed measurement periods for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the contingent conversion thresholds on the May 2025 Notes were not exceeded and therefore the notes were not convertible. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the estimated fair value of the May 2025 Notes was $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, and was considered a "Level 2" fair value measurement (see Note 2).

In August 2014, the Company issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due September 2021 with an interest rate of 0.9% (the "September 2021 Notes"). In September 2021, in connection with the maturity of the outstanding September 2021 Notes, the Company paid $1.0 billion to satisfy the aggregate principal amount due and paid an additional $86 million conversion premium in excess of the principal amount.

In May 2013, the Company issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due June 2020, with an interest rate of 0.35% (the "June 2020 Notes"). In June 2020, in connection with the maturity of the outstanding June 2020 Notes, the Company paid $1.0 billion to satisfy the aggregate principal amount due and an additional $245 million conversion premium in excess of the principal amount.

Prior to January 1, 2022, cash-settled convertible debt, such as the Company's convertible senior notes, were separated into debt and equity components at issuance and each component was assigned a value. The value assigned to the debt component was the estimated fair value, at the issuance date, of a similar bond without the conversion feature. The difference between the bond cash proceeds and this estimated fair value, representing the value assigned to the equity component, was recorded as a debt discount. Debt discount was amortized using the effective interest rate method over the period from the origination date through the stated maturity date. The Company estimated the borrowing rates at debt origination to be 4.10% for the May 2025 Notes, considering its credit rating and similar debt of the Company or comparable corporate issuers without the conversion feature. The yield to maturity was estimated at an at-market coupon priced at par.
 
Debt discount after tax of $100 million ($130 million before tax) related to the May 2025 Notes and $83 million ($143 million before tax) related to the September 2021 Notes less debt issuance costs allocated to the equity component of the respective convertible notes was recorded in additional paid-in capital in the balance sheet at debt origination.
On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the new accounting standards update relating to convertible instruments (see Note 2). The adoption of the new accounting standards update resulted in a decrease of $26 million in "Interest expense" and an increase in "Income before income taxes" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The following table summarizes the interest expense and weighted-average effective interest rates related to the convertible senior notes (in millions, except for interest rates). The remaining period for amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, as applicable, is the period until the stated maturity date for the respective debt.
