BORROWINGS BORROWINGS
The Company’s borrowings include the following senior unsecured notes and credit agreements:

Senior Unsecured Notes
The Company’s long-term borrowings include $8,250 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes in six series with maturity dates ranging from 2024 through 2052 (collectively, the “Notes”). Interest payments on the Notes are due semi-annually until maturity. In the event of a change in control and a related downgrade of the ratings of the Notes below investment grade, the indenture governing the Notes requires that the Company make an offer to each holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The indenture also includes a limitation on liens incurred by the Company and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries. The indenture does not restrict the Company or its subsidiaries from incurring indebtedness, nor does it require any financial covenants. All covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations, and qualifications. Refer to the table below for further information about the Notes.

Credit Facilities
The Company has credit agreements providing for:
•a five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $2,500 million;
•a 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $1,000 million; and
•a three-year senior unsecured term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000 million (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the five-year revolving credit facility and the 364-day revolving credit facility, the “Credit Facilities”).

There were no outstanding amounts under the five-year revolving credit facility and 364-day revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2023 or 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we entered into a new 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility to replace the 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in January 2024.

On January 3, 2023, the Company completed a $2,000 million drawdown of the floating rate Term Loan Facility in connection with the Spin-Off from GE. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we repaid $850 million of the outstanding Term Loan Facility. We had no principal debt repayments on the Notes for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company pays a facility fee to each lender, which accrues at a rate equal to an applicable margin specified in the revolving credit facility agreements on the daily commitments of the lenders. The borrowings under the Credit Facilities will bear interest at variable interest rates equal to: (i) the alternate base rate or (ii) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, in each case plus an applicable margin specified in the credit agreement. The Credit Facilities contain affirmative and negative covenants customary to financings of this type that, among other things, limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional liens and to make certain fundamental changes. In addition, the Credit Facilities contain a financial covenant that requires the Company to not exceed a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenant at each reporting period during 2023. The Credit Facilities will be used for general corporate purposes.

Interest expense associated with long-term debt was $616 million and $54 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in Interest and other financial charges – net in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. Interest expense for borrowings was not significant for the year ended December 31, 2021. The weighted average interest rate for the Notes and our Credit Facilities for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 6.03% and 5.97%, respectively.

LETTERS OF CREDIT, GUARANTEES, AND OTHER COMMITMENTS.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had bank guarantees and surety bonds of approximately $751 million and $657 million, respectively, related to certain commercial contracts. Additionally, we have approximately $39 million and $43 million of guarantees as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily related to residual and credit guarantees on equipment sold to third-party finance companies. Our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Financial Position reflect a liability of $4 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 related to these guarantees. For credit-related guarantees, we estimate our expected credit losses related to off-balance sheet credit exposure consistent with the method used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. See Note 14, “Commitments, Guarantees, Product Warranties, and Other Loss Contingencies” for further information on guarantee arrangements with GE.
