Term Credit Agreement
On March 31, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which we may incur up to $2.0 billion of term loans with a three-year term with the lenders named in the Term Credit Agreement and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent.
Under the Term Credit Agreement, we may, on up to four funding dates within eight months after the Effective Date, draw up to $2.0 billion of term loans with a maturity three years after the funding date of the applicable loans. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the Term Credit Agreement may not be reborrowed. We have the right, subject to certain conditions, to prepay in whole or in part any outstanding term loans and terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective commitments of the lenders. All term loans under the Term Credit Agreement will bear interest at a variable annual rate based on SOFR, or base rate, at our election, plus an applicable margin (as determined pursuant to the Term Credit Agreement). The applicable margin will be determined by reference to the rating of our long-term senior unsecured debt.
The Term Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity of not less than $25.0 billion. The Term Credit Agreement’s definition of minimum shareholder equity excludes accumulated other comprehensive income or losses, the cumulative effects of any changes in accounting principles, and any income or losses recognized in connection with the ongoing application of any “mark-to-market” accounting adopted in respect of pension and other retirement plans. The Term Credit Agreement also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default.
We expect to use the Term Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes. Some of the lenders under the Term Credit Agreement and their affiliates have various relationships with us and our subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including cash management, investment banking and trust services. In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries have entered into foreign exchange and other derivatives arrangements with certain of the lenders and their affiliates.
This description of the Term Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Term Credit Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
