(1)HP may redeem some or all of the fixed-rate U.S. Dollar Global Notes at any time in accordance with the terms thereof. The U.S. Dollar Global Notes are senior unsecured debt.
In June 2020, HP completed its public offering of $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $1.15 billion of 2.2% notes due June 2025, $1.0 billion of 3.0% notes due June 2027, and $850 million of 3.4% notes due June 2030. HP incurred $26 million towards issuance costs. HP will pay interest semi-annually on the notes on June 17 and December 17, beginning December 17, 2020. HP had entered into treasury rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $750 million to hedge exposure to variability in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates related to the forecasted issuance of long-term debt. These agreements were settled upon issuance of the senior notes in June 2020. The net proceeds from this offering were used to fund approximately $0.7 billion and $0.9 billion for the cash tender offer (“Tender Offer”) and the redemption, respectively, of certain existing notes, as described below. Net proceeds from this offering in excess of the amounts used to repurchase the notes were used for general corporate purposes.
As disclosed in Note 10, “Financial Instruments”, HP uses interest rate swaps to mitigate some of the exposure of its debt portfolio to changes in fair value resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates. Interest rates shown in the table of long-term debt have not been adjusted to reflect the impact of any interest rate swaps.
As of October 31, 2020, aggregate future maturities of debt at face value (excluding unamortized debt issuance cost of $37 million and discounts on debt issuance of $9 million less fair value adjustment related to hedged debt of $2 million), including other financing obligations were as follows:

Extinguishment of Debt
In June 2020, HP commenced and completed the Tender Offer to purchase approximately $0.7 billion in aggregate
principal amount of its outstanding US Dollar 3.750% Global Notes due December 1,2020, 4.300% Global Notes due June 1, 2021, 4.375% Global Notes due September 15, 2021 and 4.650% Global Notes due December 9, 2021. This extinguishment of debt resulted in a net loss of $23 million, which was recorded as Interest and other, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
On July 22, 2020, HP redeemed the remaining aggregate principal amounts of $0.5 billion in outstanding U.S. Dollar 3.750% Global Notes due December 1, 2020 and $0.4 billion in outstanding U.S. Dollar 4.300% Global Notes due June 1, 2021. This extinguishment of debt resulted in a net loss of $17 million, which was recorded as Interest and other, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
As part of the above transactions, HP terminated and settled interest rate swaps with a notional of $0.5 billion that were de-designated as fair value hedges.
Commercial Paper
As of October 31, 2020, HP maintained two commercial paper programs. HP’s U.S. program provides for the issuance of U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $6.0 billion. HP’s euro commercial paper program provides for the issuance of commercial paper outside of the United States denominated in U.S. dollars, euros or British pounds up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $6.0 billion or the equivalent in those alternative currencies. The combined aggregate principal amount of commercial paper outstanding under those programs at any one time cannot exceed the $6.0 billion authorized by HP’s Board of Directors.
Credit Facilities
As of October 31, 2020, HP maintained a $4.0 billion senior unsecured committed revolving credit facility to support the issuance of commercial paper or for general corporate purposes. Commitments under the revolving credit facility will be available until March 30, 2023. Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the credit facilities vary based on HP’s external credit ratings.
On May 29, 2020, we entered into a 364-day revolving credit facility providing for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility with aggregate lending commitments of $1.0 billion. Commitments under the 364-day revolving credit facility will be available until May 28, 2021. Funds borrowed under this revolving credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes.
As of October 31, 2020, HP was in compliance with the financial covenants in the credit agreements governing the revolving credit facilities.
Available Borrowing Resources
As of October 31, 2020, HP had available borrowing resources of $725 million from uncommitted lines of credit in addition to the senior unsecured committed revolving credit facilities.
