The swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the derivative recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss). See Note 13. “Fair Value Measurements” for additional details on the fair value of the swaps.
Unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $0.2 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, outstanding under its unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are used to finance the Company’s working capital needs in the ordinary course of business and for other general corporate purposes.

In April 2024, the Company amended and extended its Revolving Credit Facility through an amendment that, among other things, extended the final maturity date from May 5, 2027 to May 5, 2028 and amended the total revolving commitments thereunder to approximately $7.8 billion as of May 5, 2024.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility continue to accrue interest at Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus a margin of 1.05% per year. The Company is required to pay a facility fee of 0.20% per year in respect of total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest rate and facility fees are subject to changes in the Company’s credit ratings.

As amended, the term loan bears interest at a floating rate of one-month Term SOFR plus 1.20% plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and has a final maturity on November 24, 2026. The term loan contains customary covenants and events of default consistent with the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $1.25 billion in borrowings outstanding under the term loan.

In December 2024, the Company entered into a $966.5 million unsecured term loan with a three-year maturity bearing interest at one-month Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.125%, subject to adjustment based on our credit rating.
