Schedule of Notes Payable and Long-term Debt | Notes payable and long-term debt outstanding as of May 31, 2025, and August 31, 2024, are summarized below (in millions):
(1)As of May 31, 2025, the Company had $4.0 billion in available unused borrowing capacity under its existing revolving credit facilities, of which $3.2 billion was available under the credit agreement dated January 22, 2020 (as amended, the “Existing Credit Facility”). The Existing Credit Facility acts as the back-up facility for commercial paper outstanding, if any. The Company has a borrowing capacity of up to $3.2 billion under its commercial paper program. (2)On June 18, 2025, the Company entered into a senior unsecured credit agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $3.2 billion (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which may, subject to the lender’s discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $1.0 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility expires on June 18, 2030, subject to unlimited successive one-year extension options (subject to the lenders’ discretion), provided that the tenor of the Revolving Credit Facility shall at no time exceed five years. Interest and fees on advances under the Revolving Credit Facility are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Ratings and Fitch Ratings. In connection with the Company’s entry into the Agreement, the Company terminated the Existing Credit Facility. Interest is charged at a rate equal to either 0.00% to 0.45% above the base rate or 0.90% to 1.45% above the benchmark rate, as applicable, based on the Company’s credit ratings. The base rate represents the greatest of: (i) Citibank, N.A.’s prime rate, (ii) 0.50% above the federal funds rate, and (iii) 1.0% above one-month Term SOFR, but not less than zero. The benchmark rate represents Term SOFR, EURIBOR, TIBOR or Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on the amount of outstanding letters of credit.
