Credit Facilities
 
On June 7, 2023, we entered into a credit agreement with a group of financial institutions which provides for a $1.5 billion five-year unsecured credit facility that will expire on June 7, 2028 and an incremental revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $750 million. The credit facility replaced the existing credit facility which was terminated on the closing date of the new facility. During the three months ended January 31, 2024, we made no borrowings or repayments under these credit facilities. As of both January 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding under both the credit facility and the incremental revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with the covenants for the credit facility during the three months ended January 31, 2024.

On June 2, 2023, we entered into an Uncommitted Money Market Line Credit agreement with Societe Generale which provides for an aggregate borrowing capacity of $300 million. The credit facility is an uncommitted short-term cash advance facility where each request must be at least $1 million. The interest rate is set by the lender at the time of the borrowing and is fixed for the duration of the advance. During the three months ended January 31, 2024, we made no borrowings or repayments under this credit facility. As of both January 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.
