CSC has authorization from its Board of Directors to issue unsecured commercial paper notes (Commercial Paper Notes) not to exceed $1.5 billion. Management has set a current limit for the commercial paper program of $800 million. The maturities of the Commercial Paper Notes may vary, but are not to exceed 270 days from the date of issue. The commercial paper is not redeemable prior to maturity and cannot be voluntarily prepaid. The proceeds of the commercial paper program are to be used for general corporate purposes. There were no borrowings of Commercial Paper Notes outstanding at December 31, 2014 or 2013. 

 

CSC maintains an $800 million committed, unsecured credit facility with a group of 12 banks, which is scheduled to expire in June 2015. This facility replaced a similar facility that expired in June 2014. The funds under this facility are available for general corporate purposes. The financial covenants under this facility require Schwab to maintain a minimum net capital ratio, as defined, Schwab Bank to be well capitalized, as defined, and CSC to maintain a minimum level of stockholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2014, the minimum level of stockholders’ equity required under this facility was $7.8 billion (CSC’s stockholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, at December 31, 2014, was $11.6 billion). There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities at December 31, 2014 or 2013.
