(1)The notes are carried at the principal amount of each note, less any unamortized discount and unamortized debt issuance costs.
(2)The Senior Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other existing and future senior unsecured debt obligations.
(3)On June 18, 2025, the Company entered into a senior unsecured credit agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $3.2 billion (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which may, subject to the lender’s discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $1.0 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on June 18, 2030, subject to unlimited successive one-year extension options (subject to the lenders’ discretion), provided that the tenor of the Revolving Credit Facility shall at no time exceed five-years. Interest and fees on advances under the Revolving Credit Facility are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Ratings and Fitch Ratings. In
connection with the Company’s entry into the Agreement, the Company terminated its $3.2 billion credit agreement dated January 22, 2020.
Interest for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is charged at a rate equal to either 0.00% to 0.45% above the base rate or 0.90% to 1.45% above the benchmark rate, as applicable, based on the Company’s credit ratings. The base rate represents the greatest of: (i) Citibank, N.A.’s prime rate, (ii) 0.50% above the federal funds rate, and (iii) 1.0% above one-month Term SOFR, but not less than zero. The benchmark rate represents Term SOFR, EURIBOR, TIBOR or Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on the amount of outstanding letters of credit.
(4)As of August 31, 2025, the Company had $4.0 billion in available unused borrowing capacity under its existing revolving credit facilities, of which $3.2 billion was available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility acts as the back-up facility for commercial paper outstanding, if any. The Company has a borrowing capacity of up to $3.2 billion under its commercial paper program.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has letters of credit and surety bonds with banks and insurance companies outstanding of $92 million as of August 31, 2025. Unused letters of credit were $67 million as of August 31, 2025. Letters of credit and surety bonds are generally available for draw down in the event the Company does not perform.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
