Convertible Notes

1.500% Convertible Notes due March 1, 2031

We have $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 1.500% convertible unsecured senior notes due March 2031 that were issued in 2024 through a private placement. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $1.97 billion reflecting debt issuance costs of $33.5 million, which were capitalized and reflected as a reduction of the related carrying amount of the convertible notes in our consolidated balance sheets. Interest on the convertible notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2024, to the holders of record on the preceding February 15 and August 15, respectively.

In connection with the issuance of the notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the notes and other financial institutions to cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the notes. The economic effect of the capped call transactions is to hedge the potential dilutive effect upon the conversion of the notes, or offset our cash obligation if the cash settlement option is elected, for amounts in excess of the principal amount of converted notes subject to a cap. The price of the capped call transactions was $228.90 per share. The capped call transactions met the accounting criteria to be reflected in stockholders’ equity and not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $256.3 million incurred in connection with the capped call transactions was reflected as a reduction to paid-in-capital in our consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2024, net of applicable income taxes.

1.000% Convertible Notes due August 15, 2029

We also have $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of 1.000% convertible notes due August 2029 that were issued during 2022 in a private placement pursuant to an investment agreement with Silver Lake Partners. Interest on the convertible notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2023, to the holders of record on the preceding February 1 and August 1, respectively. The convertible notes mature on August 15, 2029, subject to earlier conversion or repurchase. The notes, which are currently convertible, are presented within long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets based on our intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis should a conversion event occur.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 15, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders and agents. The credit agreement provides for an unsubordinated unsecured $7.25 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), of which (a) $5.75 billion of commitments were made available on May 15, 2025 and (b) an additional $1.5 billion of commitments will be made available upon the closing of the proposed acquisition of Worldpay described in "Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased to an aggregate amount not to exceed $7.5 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in May 2030 and provides
for up to two one-year maturity extensions. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be repaid prior to maturity without premium or penalty, subject to payment of certain customary expenses of lenders and customary notice provisions. We capitalized debt issuance costs of $12.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 in connection with the issuances under the Revolving Credit Facility; the amount is presented in other noncurrent assets in our consolidated balance sheet.

The Revolving Credit Facility replaced our previous unsubordinated unsecured $5.75 billion revolving credit facility (the "Prior Credit Facility"), dated as of August 19, 2022, as amended, which was scheduled to mature in August 2027. In May 2025, all borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility were either repaid or continued under the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the terms of the new credit agreement. The Prior Credit Facility was terminated in connection with the execution of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be available to be made in U.S. dollars, euros, sterling, Canadian dollars and, subject to certain conditions, certain other currencies at our option. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to (i) for secured overnight financing rate based currencies or certain alternative currencies, a secured overnight financing rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) or an alternative currency term rate (subject to a 0.00% floor), as applicable, (ii) for US dollar borrowings, a base rate, (iii) for US dollar borrowings, a daily floating secured overnight financing rate (subject to a 0.00% floor) or (iv) for certain alternative currencies, a daily alternative currency rate (subject to a 0.00% floor), in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings other than base rate borrowings will range from 1.000% to 1.750% depending on our credit rating and is initially 1.375%.

We may issue standby letters of credit of up to $500 million in the aggregate under the Revolving Credit Facility. Outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility reduce the amount of borrowings available to us. The amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility are also determined by a financial leverage covenant. As of June 30, 2025, there were borrowings of $1.5 billion outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility with an interest rate of 5.7%, and the total available commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility were $2.9 billion.

Committed Bridge Financing

On April 17, 2025, in connection with our entry into the definitive agreement to acquire Worldpay, we obtained $7.7 billion in committed bridge financing, which was subsequently reduced to $6.2 billion on May 15, 2025 in connection with the entry into the Revolving Credit Facility. We capitalized debt issuance costs of $28.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 in connection with the establishment of the committed bridge financing; the unamortized amount is presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet.

Commercial Paper

We have a $2.0 billion commercial paper program under which we may issue senior unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue. Commercial paper notes are expected to be issued at a discount from par, or they may bear interest, each at commercial paper market rates dictated by market conditions at the time of their issuance. The proceeds from issuances of commercial paper notes will be used primarily for general corporate purposes but may also be used for acquisitions, to pay dividends, for debt refinancing or for other purposes.

As of June 30, 2025, we had net borrowings under our commercial paper program of $798.1 million outstanding, presented within long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet based on our intent and ability to continually refinance on a long-term basis, with a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.0%. The commercial paper program is backstopped by our credit agreement, in that the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding cannot exceed the undrawn portion of our Revolving Credit Facility. As such, we could draw on the Revolving Credit Facility to repay commercial paper notes that cannot be rolled over or refinanced with similar debt.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2025, our senior notes had a total carrying amount of $10.2 billion and an estimated fair value of $9.8 billion. As of June 30, 2025, our 1.500% convertible notes due March 1, 2031 had a total carrying amount of $2.0 billion and an
estimated fair value of $1.8 billion. The estimated fair values of our senior notes and 1.500% convertible senior notes were based on quoted market prices in active markets and are considered to be Level 1 measurements of the fair value hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2025, our 1.000% convertible notes due August 15, 2029 had a total carrying amount of $1.5 billion and an estimated fair value of $1.4 billion. The estimated fair value of our 1.000% convertible notes was based on a lattice pricing model and is considered to be a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of other long-term debt approximated its carrying amount at June 30, 2025.

Compliance with Covenants

The convertible notes include customary covenants and events of default for convertible notes of this type. The Revolving Credit Facility agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and restrictive covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on net leverage and interest coverage ratios, and customary events of default. As of June 30, 2025, the required leverage ratio was 3.75 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2025.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $151.1 million and $151.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $295.5 million and $308.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
