On February 22, 2018, we completed the issuance of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 4.550 percent senior notes due in February 2048 under a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 6, 2016. Discount and issuance costs, which totaled $3.7 million, are being amortized over the term of the notes using the straight-line method, the results of which approximate the effective interest method. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year commencing August 15, 2018. We may redeem the notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. If we experience a change in control triggering event, unless we have previously exercised our right to redeem the notes, we may be required to purchase the notes from the holders at a purchase price equal to 101 percent of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. We utilized the proceeds from this issuance, along with cash on hand, to retire $310.9 million aggregate principal amount of long-term debt consisting of:


•	$53.7 million of unsecured 6.000 percent senior notes due in August 2035; and


•	$257.2 million of unsecured 6.800 percent senior notes due in October 2037.

During fiscal 2018, we recorded approximately $102.2 million of expenses associated with the retirements, including cash costs of approximately $97.3 million, primarily for repurchase premiums and non-cash charges of approximately $4.9 million associated with loan cost write-offs. These amounts were recorded in interest, net in our consolidated statements of earnings.

The aggregate contractual maturities of long-term debt for each of the five fiscal years subsequent to May 27, 2018, and thereafter are as follows:

On October 27, 2017, we entered into a new $750.0 million revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (BOA), as administrative agent, and the lenders and other agents party thereto. The Revolving Credit Agreement is a senior unsecured credit commitment to the Company and contains customary representations and affirmative and negative covenants (including limitations on liens and subsidiary debt and a maximum consolidated lease adjusted total debt to total capitalization ratio of 0.75 to 1.00) and events of default usual for credit facilities of this type. The Revolving Credit Agreement replaced our prior $750.0 million revolving credit agreement, dated as of October 3, 2011 and amended as of October 24, 2013. As of May 27, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on October 27, 2022, and the proceeds may be used for working capital and capital expenditures, the refinancing of certain indebtedness, certain acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin determined by reference to a ratings-based pricing grid (Applicable Margin), or the base rate (which is defined as the highest of the BOA prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.500 percent, and the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00 percent) plus the Applicable Margin. Assuming a “BBB” equivalent credit rating level, the Applicable Margin under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be 1.000 percent for LIBOR loans and 0 percent for base rate loans. As of May 27, 2018, we had no outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
