Revolving Credit Facility. On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and the other banks identified therein as lenders. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a five year unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2.5 billion (subject to certain terms and conditions).

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement, replacing the LIBOR interest rate provisions with interest rate provisions based on a forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment. After the amendment, revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement can be Term SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans (each as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended) at the Company's option. Each Term SOFR Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable adjusted term SOFR plus a margin based on the Company's Debt Ratings (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended) from time to time of between 0.690% and 1.175%. As of July 29, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this revolving credit facility but may borrow in the future and use the proceeds for repayment of existing indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other lawful corporate purposes.

Outstanding Debt. On April 26, 2023, the Company redeemed for cash $59.8 million representing all of the outstanding 3.450% senior notes due June 15, 2027 issued by Maxim (Maxim Notes) in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Maxim Notes. The Maxim Notes were redeemed for cash at a redemption price equal to $1,012.55 for each $1,000 principal of the Maxim Notes and included accrued interest.

On August 18, 2023, the Company commenced an offer to exchange up to $440.2 million of newly registered 3.450% Senior Notes due 2027 (new notes) for up to $440.2 million of existing unregistered 3.450% Senior Notes due 2027 (old notes). See Note 15, Subsequent Events, in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Commercial Paper Program. On April 14, 2023, the Company established a commercial paper program under which the Company may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes (CP Notes) in amounts up to a maximum aggregate face amount of $2.5 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities up to 397 days from the date of issuance. The CP Notes will be sold under customary market terms in the U.S. commercial paper market at a discount from par or at par and bear interest at rates determined at the time of issuance. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the CP Notes for general corporate purposes, including without limitation, repayment of indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital. As of July 29, 2023, the Company had $544.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The carrying value of the outstanding CP Notes approximated fair value at July 29, 2023.
