Commercial Paper
The Company maintains commercial paper programs that allow the Company to issue U.S. dollar or Euro-denominated unsecured commercial paper notes. The aggregate amount outstanding at any time under the commercial paper programs may not exceed the equivalent of $3.5 billion. Commercial paper outstanding at October 28, 2022 was $349 million. During the three months ended October 28, 2022, the commercial paper outstanding had a weighted average original maturity of 26 days and a weighted average interest rate of 3.057 percent. No commercial paper was outstanding at April 29, 2022. The issuance of commercial paper reduces the amount of credit available under the Company’s existing Credit Facility, as defined below.
Line of Credit
The Company has a $3.5 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (Credit Facility), which provides back-up funding for the commercial paper programs described above. The Credit Facility includes a multi-currency borrowing feature for certain specified foreign currencies. At October 28, 2022 and April 29, 2022, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility.
Interest rates on advances on the Credit Facility are determined by a pricing matrix, based on the Company’s long-term debt ratings, assigned by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service. Facility fees are payable on the Credit Facility and are determined in the same manner as the interest rates. The Company is in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facility.

Senior Notes
The Company has outstanding unsecured senior obligations, described as senior notes in the tables above (collectively, the Senior Notes). The Senior Notes rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Company is in compliance with all covenants related to the Senior Notes.
In September 2022, Medtronic Luxco issued four tranches of Euro-denominated Senior Notes with an aggregate principal of €3.5 billion, with maturities ranging from fiscal year 2026 to 2035, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately €3.5 billion, net of discounts and issuance costs.
Term Loan Agreements
In May 2022, Medtronic Luxco entered into a term loan agreement (Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement) by and among Medtronic Luxco, Medtronic plc, Medtronic, Inc., and Mizuho Bank, Ltd. as administrative agent and as lender. The Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement provides an unsecured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to ¥300 billion with a term of 364 days. Borrowings under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement bear interest at the TIBOR Rate (as defined in the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement) plus a margin of 0.40% per annum. Medtronic plc and Medtronic, Inc. have guaranteed the obligations of Medtronic Luxco under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement. In May and June 2022, Medtronic Luxco borrowed an aggregate of ¥297 billion, or approximately $2.3 billion, of the term loan, under the Fiscal 2023 Loan Agreement. The Company used the net proceeds of the borrowings to fund the early redemption of $1.9 billion of Medtronic Inc.'s 3.500% Senior Notes due 2025 for $1.9 billion of total consideration, and $368 million of Medtronic Luxco's 3.350% Senior Notes due 2027 for $376 million of total consideration. The Company recognized a total loss on debt extinguishment of $53 million in the three months ended July 29, 2022, which primarily includes cash premiums and accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and premiums. The loss was recognized in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income during the six months ended October 28, 2022.
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

At April 29, 2022, the estimated fair value was $22.9 billion compared to a principal value of $24.2 billion. The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for the publicly registered Senior Notes, which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values and principal values consider the terms of the related debt and exclude the impacts of debt discounts and hedging activity.
