Covenants and Risks:
- Financial Covenants: The 364-Day Agreement does not contain a financial maintenance covenant.
- Restrictions: Includes customary covenants restricting asset encumbrance and mergers/consolidations.
- Events of Default: Include failure to pay principal/interest, breach of covenants, incorrect representations, failure to pay Material Debt, bankruptcy/insolvency, unsatisfied judgments exceeding $300 million, or specific change of control events.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current senior unsecured long-term debt credit ratings to determine the applicable interest rate margin (0.585% to 1.085%).
- Confirm the total available liquidity by aggregating the new $2.25 billion facility, the extended $3.0 billion facility, and any outstanding commercial paper.
- Review the full text of the 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of "Material Debt" and "Restricted Subsidiary."
- Monitor for any future elections to convert the 364-Day facility borrowings into term loans, which would alter the debt maturity profile.
