During February 2020, we issued $2.700 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.50% senior notes due 2030. During March 2020, we used the net proceeds for the redemption of all $1.000 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of HCA Healthcare, Inc.’s 6.25% senior notes due 2021 and, together with available funds, for the redemption of all $2.000 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of HCA Inc.’s 7.50% senior notes due 2022. The pretax loss on retirement of debt was $295 million.
In response to the risks the
COVID-19
pandemic presents to our business, during
March 2020, we entered into a credit agreement that provides for a
 364-day
 secured term loan facility for an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.000 billion. The facility will mature in March 2021. If drawn, amounts outstanding under the credit agreement will bear interest at either (i) the LIBOR rate plus 2.50% or (ii) an alternate base rate as defined in the credit agreement. As of March 31, 2020
there were no amounts outstanding nor draw notices pending under the facility.
