On February 11, 2025, the Company entered into a $3 billion, 364-day revolving backup credit facility to support increased commercial paper borrowings in connection with the AspenTech transaction. This facility is in addition to the Company's existing $3.5 billion five-year revolving backup credit facility with various banks. Both credit facilities are unsecured and may be accessed under various interest rate alternatives at the Company's option. The fees to maintain the facilities are immaterial and the Company has not incurred any borrowings under either facility or previous facilities. Overall, the Company's commercial paper borrowings increased to approximately $4.2 billion at September 30, 2025.
