Short-Term Borrowings and Credit Lines

NOTE 5 — SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND CREDIT LINES

The carrying amounts reflected on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Notes payable approximate fair value.

As of November 30, 2019, the Company had $300 million in borrowings outstanding under its $2 billion commercial paper program at a weighted average rate of 1.63%. No borrowings were outstanding at May 31, 2019. These borrowings are included within Notes payable on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On August 16, 2019, the Company entered into a committed credit facility agreement with a syndicate of banks which provides for up to $2 billion of borrowings, with the option to increase borrowings up to $3 billion in total upon lender approval. The facility matures on August 16, 2024, with a one year extension option prior to any anniversary of the closing date, provided that in no event shall it extend beyond August 16, 2026. Based on the Company's current long-term senior unsecured debt ratings of AA- and A1 from Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investor Services, respectively, the interest rate charged on any outstanding borrowings would be the prevailing London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.46%. The facility fee is 0.04% of the total commitment. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the facility at November 30, 2019. This facility replaces the prior $2 billion credit facility agreement entered into on August 28, 2015, which would have matured August 28, 2020. As of and for the periods ended November 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019, no amounts were outstanding under either committed credit facility.

There have been no other significant changes to the credit lines reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019.
