Debt and lines of credit Debt and lines of credit
Short-term borrowings
We maintain a line of credit to provide additional liquidity through bank loans and, if necessary, to support commercial paper borrowings. As of March 31, 2024, the aforementioned line of credit was a variable-rate, revolving credit facility from a consortium of investment-grade banks that allows us to borrow up to $1 billion until March 2025. The interest rate on borrowings under this credit facility, if drawn, is indexed to the applicable Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR). As of March 31, 2024, our credit facility was undrawn, and we had no commercial paper outstanding.
Long-term debt
In February 2024, we issued five series of senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of $3.00 billion, consisting of:
•$650 million of 4.60% notes due in 2027;
•$650 million of 4.60% notes due in 2029;
•$600 million of 4.85% notes due in 2034;
•$750 million of 5.15% notes due in 2054; and
•$350 million further issuance of existing 5.05% notes due in 2063.
We incurred $16 million of issuance and other related costs. The proceeds of the offering were $2.98 billion, net of the original issuance discounts, which will be used for general corporate purposes.
