Note 9.  Debt

 

On September 30, 2016, Textron entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion, of which up to $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. This facility expires in September 2021 and replaced the existing 5-year facility, which had no outstanding borrowings, and was scheduled to expire in October 2018.  At October 1, 2016, there were no amounts borrowed against the new facility.

 

Under our shelf registration statement, on March 11, 2016, we issued $350 million of fixed-rate notes due March 15, 2026 that bear an annual interest rate of 4.0%.  The net proceeds of the issuance totaled $345 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.
