17. Debt and Other Financing Arrangements

In March 2025, Nucor completed the issuance and sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.650% Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.100% Notes due 2035 (the “2035 Notes” and, together with the 2030 Notes, the “Notes”). We plan to use the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes, along with cash on hand, if necessary, to redeem all of the outstanding $500 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.000% Notes due 2025 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.950% Notes due 2025 (collectively, the “2025 Notes”) pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2025 Notes, with remaining proceeds, if any, to be used for general corporate purposes. Net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes were $997 million. Costs of $9 million associated with the issuance and sale of the Notes have been capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

In March 2025, Nucor amended and restated its revolving credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity from $1.75 billion to $2.25 billion and to extend its maturity date to March 11, 2030.
