Senior Notes

On September 19, 2022, the Company delivered a notice of redemption to the holders of the Company's 3.85% senior notes due April 2023 (the “April 2023 Notes”), and the Company redeemed the April 2023 Notes on October 19, 2022. The redemption price was 100.002% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The total consideration paid was approximately $1.09 billion, and the Company will recognize a nominal debt extinguishment loss in the fourth quarter of 2022.

On September 14, 2022, the Company completed a registered public offering of $500 million principal amount of 6.375% senior notes that mature in September 2027 (the “September 2027 Notes”) and $500 million principal amount of 6.625% senior notes that mature in September 2029 (the “September 2029 Notes”). The Company received proceeds of approximately $990 million, net of fees and expenses paid. The September 2027 Notes and the September 2029 Notes are subject to similar restrictive and financial covenants as the Company's existing senior notes, however, they are not subject to the interest rate adjustment or coupon step up provisions of certain other notes described below. The September 2027 Notes and the September 2029 Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company (1) at any time prior to three months before the stated maturity dates at a redemption price equal to or greater of (a) the principal amount of the notes being redeemed or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, plus the applicable make-whole amount of 50 basis points, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date; or (2) at any time on or after three months prior to
respective maturity dates, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption dates. The Company used the net proceeds from the September 2027 and September 2029 Notes, together with available cash, to redeem the April 2023 Notes during the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants at September 30, 2022.

On February 11, 2022, S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”) upgraded the Company’s debt rating to “BBB-” from “BB+”. Since the S&P upgrade, the Company has been in a position to access the commercial paper market. The Company can currently issue commercial paper up to a maximum of $1.5 billion, provided there is a sufficient amount available for borrowing under the Credit Revolver (defined hereafter). In addition, the interest rate on the relevant senior notes decreased by 25 basis points due to the upgrade, reducing the Company’s interest expense by approximately $10 million on an annualized basis (approximately $8 million in 2022). However, certain of the Company’s outstanding senior notes aggregating to approximately $4.2 billion are still subject to an interest rate adjustment of 25 basis points in connection with the Moody’s Corporation (“Moody’s”) downgrade of the Company's debt rating in 2020.

Receivables Facility

The Company maintains an Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility (the “Securitization Facility”). During the second quarter of 2022, the Company amended the Securitization Facility. This amendment (1) reduced the aggregate commitment under the Securitization Facility to $375 million from $600 million, (2) extended its maturity by one year to October 2023 and (3) changed the reference rate under the Securitization Facility from LIBOR to SOFR. The Securitization Facility bears interest at a margin over a variable interest rate. The maximum availability under the Securitization Facility fluctuates based on eligible accounts receivable balances. At September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any amounts outstanding under the Securitization Facility.

Revolving Credit Facility and Commercial Paper

On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Revolver”) that matures in August 2027. The Credit Revolver refinanced the Company’s previous $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in December 2023.

Under the Credit Revolver, the Company may borrow funds on a variety of interest rate terms. The Credit Revolver provides committed back-up liquidity for the issuance of commercial paper, in each case, to the extent there is sufficient availability for borrowing under the Credit Revolver. At September 30, 2022 there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Revolver and no commercial paper borrowings.

The Credit Revolver provides for the issuance of up to $150 million of letters of credit, so long as there is sufficient availability for borrowing under the Credit Revolver. At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $22 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued against the Credit Revolver, with a net availability of approximately $1.48 billion.
