Senior Notes
In March 2025, we issued $750 million of 5.550% unsecured senior notes due May 1, 2035, $500 million of 6.000% unsecured senior notes due May 1, 2055, and an additional $250 million of our existing 5.375% unsecured senior notes due April 15, 2031. Our net proceeds, reduced for the underwriters' discounts and commissions paid, were $1.481 billion. We used the net proceeds of these offerings to repay outstanding amounts from the 4.500% Senior Notes due on April 1, 2025. The remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of our existing indebtedness, including borrowings under our commercial paper program.
We have entered into interest-rate swap agreements with major financial institutions to convert our interest-rate exposure on some of our senior notes payable from fixed rates to variable rates, based on Secured Overnight
Financing Rate (SOFR), to align interest costs more closely with floating interest rates received on our cash equivalents and investment securities, as further described in Note 5. As a result, the carrying value of these senior notes has been adjusted to reflect changes in value caused by an increase or decrease in interest rates. The cumulative, aggregate decrease to the carrying value of the senior notes was approximately $26 million at March 31, 2025.
For additional information regarding our Senior Notes, refer to Note 13 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Revolving Credit Agreements
In June 2023, we entered into an amended and restated 5-year, $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement (replacing the 5-year, $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement entered in June 2021). In May 2024, we entered into an amendment to increase commitments $0.142 billion resulting in a $2.642 billion borrowing capacity.
In May 2024, we entered into a 364-day $2.1 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement (replacing the 364-day $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement entered in June 2023, which expired in accordance with its terms).
Under the credit agreements, at our option, we can borrow on either a competitive advance basis or a revolving credit basis. The revolving credit portion bears interest at Term SOFR or the base rate plus a spread. The competitive advance portion of any borrowings will bear interest at market rates prevailing at the time of borrowing on either a fixed rate or a floating rate based Term SOFR, at our option.
The SOFR spread varies depending on our credit ratings ranging from 92.0 to 130.0 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and 94.0 to 135.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving credit agreement. As of March 31, 2025, our SOFR was 114.0 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and 116.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving credit agreement. We also pay an annual facility fee regardless of utilization. This facility fee varies depending on our credit ratings ranging from 8.0 to 20.0 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and 6.0 to 15.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving credit agreement. As of March 31, 2025, our facility fee was 11.0 basis points under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and 9.0 basis points under the 364-day revolving agreement.
The terms of our revolving credit agreements include standard provisions related to conditions of borrowing which could limit our ability to borrow additional funds. In addition, our credit agreements contain customary restrictive covenants and a financial covenant regarding maximum debt to capitalization of 60%, as well as customary events of default. We are in compliance with this financial covenant, with actual debt to capitalization of 42.8% as measured in accordance with the revolving credit agreements as of March 31, 2025. Upon our agreement with one or more financial institutions, we may expand the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit agreements by up to $500 million, to a maximum of $5.2 billion, across the 5-year and 364-day revolving credit agreements.
At March 31, 2025, we had no borrowings and approximately $18 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit agreements. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2025, we had $2.624 billion of remaining borrowing capacity under the 5-year revolving credit agreement and $2.1 billion of remaining borrowing capacity under the 364-day revolving credit agreement (which excludes the uncommitted $500 million of incremental loan facilities), none of which would be restricted by our financial covenant compliance requirement.
We have other customary relationships, including financial advisory and banking, with some parties to the revolving credit agreements.
For additional information regarding our Revolving Credit Agreements, refer to Note 13 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Commercial Paper
Under our commercial paper program, we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes privately placed on a discount basis through certain broker dealers at any time. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The net proceeds of issuances have been and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The maximum principal amount outstanding at any one time during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.2 billion, with no outstanding amount at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
For additional information regarding our Commercial Paper refer to Note 13 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Other Short-term Borrowings
We are a member, through one subsidiary, of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, or FHLB. As a member we have the ability to obtain short-term cash advances, subject to certain minimum collateral requirements. At March 31, 2025 we had no outstanding short-term FHLB borrowings.
