Green Financing

On 3 March 2023, we issued our inaugural multi-currency green bonds under our new Green Finance Framework, which was established to further align our financings with our sustainability strategy. The offering included U.S. Dollar- and Euro-denominated fixed-rate notes with aggregate principal amounts of $600 and €700 million, respectively. The proceeds from these notes were reduced by deferred financing charges and discounts of approximately $15 as of 31 March 2023, which will be amortized over the life of the underlying bonds.

We intend to use the net proceeds to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, existing or future projects that are expected to have environmental benefits, including those related to pollution prevention and control, renewable energy generation and procurement, and sustainable aviation fuel. Pending full allocation of the net proceeds to such eligible projects, we may temporarily invest the balance of the net proceeds in cash, cash equivalents, or short-term investments, or repay a portion of outstanding indebtedness in line with our treasury management policies.

The interest rate, maturity, and carrying amount as of 31 March 2023 for each of the notes issued under our Green Finance Framework are summarized in the table below:

	Fiscal Year Maturities	31 March 2023
Payable in U.S. Dollars
Note 4.800%	2033	$600.0
Payable in Euros
Eurobonds 4.000%	2035	758.8
Total		$1,358.8

Related Party Debt

Total debt owed to related parties was $822.1 and $781.0 as of 31 March 2023 and 30 September 2022, respectively, of which $133.6 and $129.0, respectively, was reflected within "Current portion of long-term debt" on our consolidated balance sheets. Our related party debt includes loans with joint venture partners, including Lu’An Clean Energy Company, as well as shareholder loans associated with the NEOM project. Refer to Note 3, Variable Interest Entities, for additional information.

Other

We have credit facilities available to certain of our foreign subsidiaries totaling $1,324.4, of which $823.5 was borrowed and outstanding as of 31 March 2023. The amount borrowed and outstanding as of 30 September 2022 was $457.5. The increase from 30 September 2022 was driven by borrowings on a new variable-rate Saudi Riyal loan facility that matures in October 2026. The interest rate on the facility is based on the Saudi Arabian Interbank Offered Rate ("SAIBOR") plus an annual margin of 1.35%. We entered into this facility in October 2022 and utilized a portion of the proceeds to repay a variable-rate 4.10% Saudi Riyal Loan Facility of $195.6, which was presented within long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet as of 30 September 2022.
