DEBT

The Company has commercial paper programs that allow for borrowings up to $2.0 billion. In connection with the programs, the Company has a back-up credit facility with a consortium of banks for borrowings up to $2.0 billion. In December 2014, the Company replaced its back-up credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in July 2017, with a new, substantially identical $2.0 billion credit facility. The new credit facility expires in December 2019 and contains various restrictive covenants. At February 1, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, and they are not expected to impact the Company’s liquidity or capital resources.

At February 1, 2015, there were $290 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper programs and no borrowings outstanding under the related credit facility. All of the Company's short-term borrowings in fiscal 2014 were under these commercial paper programs. For the fiscal year ended February 1, 2015, the maximum amount outstanding at any month-end was $290 million, the average daily short-term borrowings were $20 million and the weighted average interest rate was 0.13%. There were no borrowings under the commercial paper programs or the related credit facility in fiscal 2013.

The Company's senior notes may be redeemed by the Company at any time, in whole or in part, at the redemption price plus accrued interest up to the redemption date. The redemption price is equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest to the Par Call Date, as defined in the respective notes. Additionally, if a Change in Control Triggering Event occurs, as defined in each of the outstanding notes except for the 5.40% senior notes due March 1, 2016 (the "2016 notes"), holders of all notes other than the 2016 notes have the right to require the Company to redeem those notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest up to the redemption date. The Company is generally not limited under the indentures governing the notes in its ability to incur additional indebtedness or required to maintain financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity. Further, while the indentures governing the notes contain various restrictive covenants, none are expected to impact the Company’s liquidity or capital resources.
