6. Long-Term Obligations and Commitments


Senior Unsecured Notes

In June 2020 we issued four series of senior unsecured notes (together, the Notes) pursuant to a public debt offering. The proceeds from the issuance were $1.98 billion, net of debt discount of $2 million and debt issuance costs of $15 million.

The carrying value of the Notes was as follows at the dates indicated:


(In millions)	October 31, 2021		July 31, 2021		Effective Interest Rate
Senior unsecured notes issued June 2020:
0.650% notes due July 2023	$	500	$	500	0.837%
0.950% notes due July 2025	500		500		1.127%
1.350% notes due July 2027	500		500		1.486%
1.650% notes due July 2030	500		500		1.767%
Total senior unsecured notes	2,000		2,000
Unamortized discount and debt issuance costs	(13)		(14)
Net carrying value senior unsecured notes	$	1,987	$	1,986

Interest is payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The discount and debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes under the effective interest method. We paid no interest on the Notes during each of the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Intuit and rank equally with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Intuit and are redeemable by us at any time, subject to a make-whole premium. Upon the occurrence of change of control transactions that are accompanied by certain downgrades in the credit ratings of the Notes, we will be required to repurchase the Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the Notes requires us to comply with certain covenants. For example, the Notes limit our ability to create certain liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. As of October 31, 2021 we were compliant with all covenants governing the Notes.


Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On February 19, 2019 a subsidiary of Intuit entered into a $300 million secured revolving credit facility with a lender to fund a portion of our loans to qualified small businesses. The revolving credit facility is secured by cash and receivables of the subsidiary and is non-recourse to Intuit Inc. We have entered into several amendments to the secured revolving credit facility, most recently on July 16, 2021, primarily to extend the commitment term and maturity date. Under the amended agreement, $150 million of the facility is committed and $150 million is uncommitted. Advances accrue interest at LIBOR plus 1.5%. Unused portions of the committed credit facility accrue interest at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, depending on the total unused committed balance. The commitment term is through July 17, 2023 and the final maturity date is January 17, 2024. The amended agreement allows for the transition of the benchmark interest rate used to calculate finance charges from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (SOFR) plus related benchmark adjustments that represent the prevailing market convention for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities. The agreement includes certain affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants that require the subsidiary to maintain specified financial ratios. As of October 31, 2021 we were compliant with all required covenants. At October 31, 2021, $50 million was outstanding under this facility and the weighted-average interest rate was 2.63%, which includes the interest on the unused committed portion. The outstanding balance is secured by cash and receivables of the subsidiary totaling $232 million. Interest on the facility is payable monthly. We paid an immaterial amount of interest on the secured revolving credit facility during the three months ended October 31, 2021 and $1 million during the three months ended October 31, 2020.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

We describe our purchase obligations in Note 8 to the financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021. In September 2021 we signed an agreement that includes non-cancellable commitments of $555 million through July 31, 2044 for an exclusive naming rights partnership with the Los Angeles Clippers for Intuit Dome, a new sports facility. The commitment is $1.5 million per year for the first three years and $27.5 million per year for the remainder of the agreement. There were no other significant changes in our purchase obligations during the three months ended October 31, 2021.

In November 2021 we amended an existing cloud services agreement for an additional five years. Under the amended agreement, we have an annual minimum commitment of $150 million per year and a total minimum purchase commitment of $1.2 billion over the five year contract term.
