SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS, LONG-TERM DEBT AND AVAILABLE CREDIT FACILITIES

Debt Offering

On May 1, 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2 billion of 2.169 percent fixed rate Notes due May 1, 2023 (the “May Debt Offering”). The proceeds from the May Debt Offering are expected to be used by the Company to repay or redeem the Company’s $0.5 billion in floating rate notes due November 2020 and $1.5 billion of 3.77 percent fixed-rate notes due November 2020 (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). Upon consummation of the Intended N&B Transaction, the Company will be required to mail a notice of redemption to holders of the Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, setting forth the date of redemption of all of the Notes on the date (“Special Mandatory Redemption Date”) that is the later of (i) three (3) Business Days after the consummation of the Intended N&B Transaction and (ii) May 1, 2021. On the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company will be required to redeem all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. The Indenture also contains certain limitations on the Company’s ability to incur liens and enter into sale lease-back transactions, as well as customary events of default.

Revolving Credit Facility

In June 2019, the Company entered into a $750 million, 364-day revolving credit facility (the "Old 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility"). On and effective as of April 16, 2020, the Company entered into a new $1.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility (the “$1B Revolving Credit Facility"). As of the effectiveness of the $1B Revolving Credit Facility, the Old 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility was terminated.

Nutrition & Biosciences Financing

In connection with the Intended N&B Transaction, DuPont and Nutrition & Biosciences, Inc. (presently a wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont) (“N&B Inc.”) entered into a Bridge Commitment Letter (the “Bridge Letter”) in an aggregate principal amount of $7.5 billion (the “Bridge Loans”) to secure committed financing for a one-time $7.3 billion cash payment, subject to adjustment, to DuPont (the "Special Cash Payment") and related financing fees. The aggregate commitment under the Bridge Letter is reduced by, among other things, (1) the amount of net cash proceeds received by N&B Inc. from any issuance of senior unsecured notes pursuant to a Rule 144A offering or other private placement (the "N&B Notes Offering") and (2) certain qualifying term loan commitments under senior unsecured term loan facilities.

In January 2020, N&B Inc. entered into a senior unsecured term loan agreement in the amount of $1.25 billion split evenly between three- and five-year facilities. As a result of entry into the term loan agreement, the commitments under the Bridge Commitment Letter were reduced to $6.25 billion.
