During February 2025, we repaid all $2.600 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2025 at maturity. We entered into a new credit agreement that provides for $8.000 billion of senior unsecured revolving credit commitments with a term of five years (“senior unsecured credit facility”). Currently, borrowings under the senior unsecured credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.250% (plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment). We concurrently borrowed funds from the senior unsecured credit facility and repaid outstanding borrowings under our $4.500 billion senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility and our senior secured term loan facility of $1.238 billion. We terminated these senior secured credit facilities along with our $3.500 billion senior secured revolving cash flow credit facility.

During February 2025, we also issued $5.250 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes comprised of (i) $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior notes due 2028, (ii) $300 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes due 2028, (iii) $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior notes due 2030, (iv) $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior notes due 2032, (v) $1.500 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior notes due 2035 and (vi) $1.250 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.200% senior notes due 2055. We used the net proceeds to repay borrowings under the senior unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

During April 2025 and June 2025, we repaid at maturity, utilizing our senior unsecured credit facility, all $1.400 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes and $291 million aggregate principal amount of 7.69% senior notes, respectively.

During June 2025, we established a commercial paper program under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes from time to time up to a maximum aggregate face or principal amount of $4.000 billion outstanding at any time. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time. The maturities of the commercial paper notes borrowings may vary, but will not exceed 397 days from the date of issue, and the proceeds from the program will be used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the commercial paper program, we intend to maintain a minimum available borrowing capacity under our $8.000 billion senior unsecured credit facility equal to the aggregate amount outstanding under the commercial paper program. At June 30, 2025, we had $1.778 billion of commercial paper outstanding, and there were no borrowings outstanding under our senior unsecured credit facility.
