(1)The notes are carried at the principal amount of each note, less any unamortized discount or premium and unamortized debt issuance costs.
(2)The notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations.
(3)In April 2019, the Company entered into a JPY 33.5 billion term loan agreement at three-month TIBOR plus 0.430%, which was then swapped to U.S. dollars. The term loan, which is subject to quarterly interest payments, was used to fund general operations and refinance certain other outstanding debt. During fiscal year 2024, the Company repaid the outstanding balance.
(4)In September 2022, the Company entered into a $450 million delayed draw term loan credit agreement, under which $300 million was repaid during fiscal year 2023. Borrowings under the delayed draw term loan may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, refinancing of current debt, and other general corporate purposes. Interest is based on either (a) a Term SOFR-based formula plus a margin of 100.0 basis points to 162.5 basis points, depending on the Company's credit ratings, or (b) a Base Rate (the greatest of the agent's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and the Term SOFR plus 1.00%) formula plus a margin of 0.0 basis point to 62.5 basis points, depending on the Company's credit ratings. During fiscal year 2024, the Company repaid the remaining $150 million outstanding balance.
(5)In December 2021, the Company issued HUF 100 billion (approximately $274 million as of March 31, 2024) in aggregate principal amount of bonds under the National Bank of Hungary’s Bond Funding for Growth Scheme. The bonds are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The outstanding principal amount of the bonds bear interest at 3.60% per annum. The proceeds of the bonds were used for general corporate purposes.
Revolving Credit Facilities:
In July 2022, the Company entered into a $2.5 billion credit agreement which matures in July 2027 (the "2027 Credit Facility") and consists of a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility with a sub-limit of $360 million available for swing line loans, and a sub-limit of $175 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The 2027 Credit Facility replaced the previous $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, which was due to mature in January 2026. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, no borrowings were outstanding.
Borrowings under the 2027 Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, either at (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2027 Credit Facility), plus 1.0% and an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 0.750% per annum based on credit ratings or (ii) Term SOFR (or an Alternative Currency Term Rate based on the applicable currency at issue or Alternative Currency Daily Rate based on Sterling Overnight Index Average) plus the applicable margin ranging between 1.125% and 1.750% per annum based on credit ratings, plus an adjustment for Term SOFR loans of 0.10% per annum and an adjustment for Sterling Overnight Index Average loans of 0.0326% per annum. Interest on the outstanding borrowings is payable, (i) in the
case of borrowings at the Base Rate, on the last business day of March, June, September and December of each calendar year and the maturity date, (ii) in the case of borrowings at the Term SOFR rate (or Alternative Currency Term Rate), on the last day of the applicable interest period selected by the Company, which date shall be no later than the last day of every third month and the maturity date and (iii) in the case of borrowings at the Alternative Currency Daily Rate, on the last day of each calendar month and the maturity date. The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unutilized portion of the revolving credit commitments under the 2027 Credit Facility ranging from 0.125% to 0.275% per annum, based on credit ratings. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit usage fees ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% per annum (based on the credit ratings) on the amount of the daily average outstanding letters of credit and a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each letter of credit.
Under the 2027 Credit Facility, the interest rate margins, commitment fee and letter of credit usage fee are subject to upward or downward adjustments if the Company achieves, or fails to achieve, certain specified sustainability targets with respect to workplace safety and greenhouse gas emissions. Such upward or downward sustainability adjustments may be up to 0.05% per annum in the case of the interest rate margins and letter of credit usage fee and up to 0.01% per annum in the case of the commitment fee.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries had various uncommitted revolving credit facilities, lines of credit and other credit facilities in the amount of $318 million in the aggregate. There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of March 31, 2024 and 2023. These unsecured credit facilities, and lines of credit and other credit facilities bear annual interest at the respective country's inter-bank offering rate, plus an applicable margin.
Debt Covenants:
Borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements are subject to various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, effect mergers and certain transactions, and effect certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, the 2027 Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Company is also subject to certain covenants requiring the Company to offer to repurchase the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2028 Notes, 2029 Notes, and 2030 Notes upon a change of control. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
The weighted-average interest rates for the Company's long-term debt were 4.5% and 4.6% as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Scheduled repayments of the Company's bank borrowings and long-term debt are as follows:
