The Company has historically satisfied short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flow and available cash primarily through issuances of commercial paper under its U.S. dollar and euro-denominated commercial paper programs. The Company’s $5.0 billion u nsecured, multi-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that expires on August 24, 2024 (the “Five-Year Facility”), is available for direct borrowings and provides credit support for the commercial paper programs.

As of October 1, 2021, borrowings outstanding under the Company’s U.S. dollar and euro-denominated commercial paper program had a weighted average annual interest rate of negative 0.01% and a weighted average remaining maturity of approximately 22 days. Debt discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs totaled $121 million and $132 million as of October 1, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and have been netted against the aggregate principal amounts of the related debt in the components of debt table above.
