Senior Notes In June 2022, the Company issued Euro-denominated fixed-rate senior notes in a public offering in an aggregate principal amount of €3.0 billion ($3.2 billion), with maturities ranging between 4 and 12 years. The June 2026 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2034 Notes, or collectively, the "Euro Notes", have interest rates of 1.50%, 2.00% and 2.375%, respectively. Interest on the Euro Notes is payable annually on June 15 of each year, commencing June 15, 2023. The net aggregate proceeds, after deducting discounts and debt issuance costs, were approximately €3.0 billion ($3.2 billion). The Company will use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, the refinancing of existing indebtedness. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company repaid $1.0 billion of principal upon maturity of its senior notes. The Company’s outstanding senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equally and ratably among themselves and with the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The senior notes are not secured by any assets of the Company and are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants. Each series of senior notes may be redeemed as a whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time at specified redemption prices. In addition, each series of the Euro Notes may be redeemed as a whole at specified redemption prices upon the occurrence of certain U.S. tax events. At September 30, 2022, future principal payments on the Company’s outstanding debt were as follows:

Commercial Paper Program Visa maintains a commercial paper program to support its working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. Under the program, the Company is authorized to issue up to $3.0 billion in outstanding notes, with maturities up to 397 days from the date of issuance.

As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no outstanding obligations under the program. Credit Facility On July 25, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement for a 5 year, unsecured $5.0 billion revolving credit facility (Credit Facility), which will expire on July 25, 2024. Interest on borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Credit Facility will be charged at the London Interbank Offered Rate or an alternative base rate, in each case plus applicable margins that fluctuate based on the applicable credit rating of the Company's senior unsecured long-term debt. The Company has agreed to pay a commitment fee which will fluctuate based on such applicable rating of the Company. On October 6, 2021, the Company further amended the Credit Facility to ensure that effective January 1, 2022, interest on borrowings denominated in British Pound Sterling and Euros will be charged at the Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate and the Euro Short-Term Rate respectively or the applicable successor rates, plus applicable margins. The Credit Facility is not governed by any financial covenants. This Credit Facility is maintained to ensure the integrity of the payment card settlement process and for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.
