Credit Facility
As of December 31, 2023, letters of credit totaling $477 million were outstanding under our $1.8 billion credit facility, which matures in February 2026 and was amended in August 2023 to permit the issuance of the 2029 Notes. This credit facility contains customary financial covenants, including a debt-to-capitalization ratio that cannot exceed 0.60 to 1.00, a limitation on the aggregate amount of debt of the greater of $750 million or €750 million for our subsidiaries, and a minimum liquidity threshold of $1.2 billion, defined in the amended credit facility, which may be reduced to $1.0 billion upon the repayment of debt. The credit facility also contains provisions that will require us to provide collateral to secure the facility should we be downgraded to BB by S&P and Ba2 by Moody's, such collateral consisting broadly of our U.S. assets. Borrowings under the facility, which may be denominated in USD, EUR, GBP or CAD, bear interest at a base rate, plus an applicable borrowing margin. As of December 31, 2023, we had not made any borrowings under our credit line and maintained a borrowing capacity of $775 million.
Uncommitted Lines of Credit
As of December 31, 2023, letters of credit totaling $918 million were outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit.
Issuance of 2029 Notes
In August 2023, we issued $575 million of 1.125% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2029 Notes”) due August 15, 2029 and received net proceeds of $560 million. Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15, beginning on February 15, 2024. The conversion rate for the 2029 Notes is 22.0420 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $45.37 per share. Holders may convert their 2029 Notes any time before May 2029 under the following conditions:

•if the last reported price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to $58.98 on each applicable trading day;
•during the 5-business day period after any 5-consecutive trading day period in which the trading price of the 2029 Notes was less than 98% of the product of the last reported stock price and the conversion rate;
•if we call any or all of the 2029 Notes for redemption; or
•upon the occurrence of specified events as described in the applicable indenture.

In addition, holders may convert their 2029 Notes any time beginning in May 2029 and prior to maturity without regard to the foregoing circumstances. Upon any conversion, we will repay the principal amount of the notes in cash and may elect to convey the conversion premium in any combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Certain events could cause the conversion rate to increase, including a make-whole fundamental change or redemption, but in no event will the conversion rate for a single note exceed 29.2056 shares of our common stock, other than for customary adjustments described in the applicable indenture.

After August 2026, we may elect to redeem up to all of the outstanding 2029 Notes if our common stock has a prevailing per share closing price in excess of $58.98. In such election, all principal would be settled in cash and could result in a make-whole premium if the holders also elect to convert. We may elect to pay any make-whole premium in any combination of cash and shares of our common stock.

Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the 2029 Notes offering, we entered into capped call transactions with certain banks. The capped call transactions are not part of the terms of the 2029 Notes and are accounted for as separate transactions. As the capped call options are indexed to our own stock, they are recorded in shareholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of the capped call transactions was $73 million which was recorded as a permanent reduction to APIC, and will not be subject to periodic remeasurement. The strike price of the capped call options corresponds to the conversion price of the 2029 Notes of $45.37 per share. The capped call options are expected to offset potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of any 2029 Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make for any conversion premium if our stock price is greater than $45.37. The upper limit of the capped calls is $68.48 per share. If our stock price exceeds $68.48, there would be unmitigated dilution and/or no offset of any cash payments attributable to the amount by which our stock exceeds the cap price. We will not be required to make any cash payments to option counterparties upon the exercise of capped call options, but we will be entitled to receive from them shares of our common stock or an amount of cash based on the amount by which the market price of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the capped calls.
Notes Discharge & Redemption of 2024 and 2023 Notes
In January 2023, we redeemed the remaining €129 million of outstanding 2023 Notes for $140 million with no earnings impact. In August 2023, we completed a tender offer in which we repurchased $115 million of outstanding 2024 Notes, excluding accrued interest, for consideration of $975.03 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. The earnings effect of the tender offer was immaterial. In December 2023, we extinguished the remaining outstanding $266 million principal amount of our 2024 Notes through a legal discharge, whereby we irrevocably transferred $262 million in interest-bearing Treasury securities to the trustee of the 2024 Notes. These securities will yield sufficient principal and interest over their remaining term to permit the trustee to satisfy the remaining principal and interest due on the 2024 Notes. Thus, we are no longer the primary obligor under the 2024 Notes.
During 2022, we redeemed $41 million of aggregate outstanding 2023 Notes, with an immaterial earnings impact.
During 2021, we completed a tender offer in which we repurchased $375 million of 2023 Notes and $108 million of 2024 Notes. Additionally, we redeemed $26 million of outstanding 2023 and 2024 Notes in open market transactions during 2021. We used the proceeds from the issuance of CPS to redeem the 2023 and 2024 Notes. We recognized $20 million in losses related to these redemptions which was included in interest expense.
2028 Notes
In August 2018, we issued $600 million of 4.250% Senior Notes due in September 2028 ("2028 Notes") and received proceeds of $595 million. Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in March and September. Prior to June 2028, we may redeem the 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium described in the indenture. After June 2028, the 2028 Notes can be redeemed at par plus accrued interest. A change of control (as defined by the terms of the indenture) could require us to repay them at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. We are permitted to incur additional indebtedness if we are in compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on liens and restrictions on sale and leaseback transactions.
