| DEBT | DEBT Bunge’s $600 million commercial paper program is supported by an identical amount of committed back-up bank credit lines (the "Liquidity Facility") provided by banks that are rated at least A-1 by S&P Global Ratings and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service. The cost of borrowing under the Liquidity Facility would typically be higher than the cost of issuing under Bunge’s commercial paper program. At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings under the Liquidity Facility, respectively. The Liquidity Facility is Bunge's only revolving credit facility that requires lenders to maintain minimum credit ratings. The Liquidity Facility is set to expire on July 16, 2026. Borrowings under the commercial paper program typically have an original maturity of three months or less, resulting in net presentation of proceeds and repayments of short-term debt in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Bunge had no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023, under the unsecured $1.1 billion 364-day Revolving Credit Agreement (the "$1.1 Billion Credit Agreement"), with a group of lenders, entered into on July 15, 2022, and maturing on July 14, 2023. Bunge may from time-to-time request one or more of the existing or new lenders to increase the total participations under the $1.1 Billion Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount up to $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision. Borrowings will bear interest at the SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment and applicable margin, as defined in the $1.1 Billion Credit Agreement. Bunge had no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, under the unsecured committed $1.35 billion 5-year Revolving Credit Agreement (the "$1.35 Billion Credit Agreement") with a group of lenders, maturing July 16, 2026. Bunge may, from time to time, request one or more of the existing or new lenders to increase the total commitments under the $1.35 Billion Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount up to $200 million pursuant to an accordion provision. Borrowings will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the $1.35 Billion Credit Agreement. Bunge had no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, under the unsecured $865 million Revolving Credit Agreement (the "$865 Million 2026 Facility") with a group of lenders, set to mature on October 29, 2026. Borrowings will bear interest at SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment and applicable margin, as defined in the $865 Million 2026 Facility. Bunge had no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, under the unsecured $1.75 billion Revolving Credit Facility ("$1.75 Billion Revolving Credit Facility"), set to mature on December 16, 2024. The interest rate under the $1.75 Billion Revolving Credit Facility is tied to certain sustainability criteria, including, but not limited to, science-based targets that define Bunge's climate goals within its operations and a commitment to a deforestation-free supply chain in 2025. Bunge may from time to time, with the consent of the agent, request one or more of the existing lenders or new lenders to increase the total commitments by an amount not to exceed $250 million pursuant to an accordion provision. Borrowings under the $1.75 Billion Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment, which will vary from 0.30% to 1.30%, based on the senior long-term unsecured debt ratings provided by Moody’s Investors Service and S&P Global Ratings. Bunge will also pay a fee that will vary from 0.10% to 0.40% based on its utilization of the $1.75 Billion Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the committed revolving credit facilities described above typically have an original maturity of three months or less, resulting in net presentation of proceeds and repayments of short-term debt in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. At March 31, 2023, Bunge had $5,665 million unused and available committed borrowing capacity comprised of committed revolving credit facilities and the commercial paper program with a number of financial institutions. At December 31, 2022, Bunge had $6,665 million unused and available committed borrowing capacity comprised of committed revolving credit facilities and the commercial paper program with a number of financial institutions, totaling $5,665 million, and $1,000 million in committed unsecured delayed draw term loans, as discussed below. In addition to committed facilities, from time to time, Bunge Limited and/or its financing subsidiaries enter into uncommitted bilateral short-term credit lines as necessary based on financing requirements. At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were no borrowings, respectively, outstanding under these bilateral short-term credit lines. Loans under such credit lines are non-callable by the respective lenders. In addition, Bunge's operating companies had $540 million and $546 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under local bank lines of credit at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, to support working capital requirements. The original maturity of borrowings under uncommitted bilateral credit lines and local bank lines of credit varies based upon the Company's financing objectives. As a result, proceeds and repayments of such credit lines may be presented on a net basis, or separately, in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as dictated by the borrowing's original maturity. The fair value of Bunge’s long-term debt, including current portion, is calculated based on interest rates currently available on comparable maturities to companies with credit standing similar to that of Bunge. The carrying amounts and fair values of long-term debt are as follows:
On August 5, 2022, Bunge entered into an unsecured $250 million delayed draw term loan (the "$250 million February 2023 Delayed Draw Term Loan") with a group of lenders that was required to be drawn by February 2, 2023. The $250 million February 2023 Delayed Draw Term Loan bears interest at SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment and applicable margin, as defined in the $250 million February 2023 Delayed Draw Term Loan agreement. The $250 million February 2023 Delayed Draw Term Loan was drawn on February 2, 2023 and matures on August 5, 2027. On July 26, 2022, and later amended on October 7, 2022, Bunge entered into an unsecured $750 million delayed draw term loan (the "$750 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan") with a group of lenders giving Bunge the option to draw the loan by January 25, 2023. The $750 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan bears interest at SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment and applicable margin, as defined in the $750 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan agreement. The $750 Million Delayed Draw Term Loan was drawn on January 25, 2023 and matures on October 24, 2025.
