Revolving Facility

On September 3, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement which provides for a $2.375 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and allows for a subfacility for letters of credit of up to $100 million, of which $70 million is currently committed. The Revolving Facility is scheduled to mature on September 3, 2029.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable interest rate margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (a) Adjusted Term SOFR (which is Term SOFR (as published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%) or (b) a base rate (which is usually equal to the prime rate). The applicable interest rate margin for borrowings as of May 2, 2025 was 1.015% for Adjusted Term SOFR borrowings and 0.015% for base-rate borrowings. The Company is also required to pay a facility fee, payable on any used and unused commitment amounts of the Revolving Facility, and customary fees on letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility. As of May 2, 2025, the facility fee rate was 0.11%. The applicable interest rate margins for borrowings, the facility fees and the letter of credit fees under the Revolving Facility are subject to adjustment from time to time based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt ratings.

The credit agreement governing the Revolving Facility contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to: incur additional liens; sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; consummate certain fundamental changes or changes in the Company’s lines of business; and incur additional subsidiary indebtedness. The credit agreement governing the Revolving Facility also contains financial covenants which require the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. On March 11, 2025, the Company amended the credit agreement governing the Revolving Facility to increase the maximum leverage ratio and decrease the minimum fixed charge ratio through January 30, 2026, or earlier at the Company’s option upon achieving certain financial covenant milestones (“Covenant Relief Period”). During the Covenant Relief Period, the Company is restricted from repurchasing shares and the ability to incur certain additional liens and subsidiary debt is reduced. The credit agreement governing the Revolving Facility also contains customary events of default. As of May 2, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants pertaining to the Revolving Facility.

As of May 2, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, no outstanding letters of credit, and $2.375 billion of borrowing availability under the Revolving Facility that, due to the Company’s intention to maintain borrowing availability related to the commercial paper program described below, could contribute incremental liquidity of $2.18 billion. In addition, as of May 2, 2025, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $55.4 million which were issued pursuant to separate agreements.

Commercial Paper

As of May 2, 2025, the Company had a commercial paper program under which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes (the “CP Notes”) from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 billion outstanding at any time. The CP Notes may have maturities of up to 364 days from the date of issue and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company intends to maintain available commitments under the Revolving Facility in an amount at least equal to the amount of CP Notes outstanding at any time. As of May 2, 2025, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet reflected no outstanding unsecured CP Notes. CP Notes totaling $195.0 million and $195.0 million at May 2, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively, were held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and are therefore not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

Senior Notes

In April 2025, the Company redeemed $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 4.15% senior notes prior to the November 2025 maturity date using cash on hand and incurred a non-cash loss of approximately $0.4 million associated with the redemption.
