(1)These senior unsecured obligations rank equally with the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. (2)The bonds are redeemable at the Company's option at a price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. However, the bonds also feature a par call provision, which allows for the bonds to be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on or after the Par Call Date, which can range from one to six months prior to the scheduled maturity, as defined in the respective notes. (3)The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements pursuant to which the Company receives fixed interest payments at the same rate as the term debt and pays variable interest payments based on SOFR plus a fixed spread. At May 31, 2024, the notional amount outstanding of these swaps was $1.8 billion and had interest rates payable that ranged from 4.6% to 5.1%. These swaps mature during fiscal 2034. The scheduled maturity of Long-term debt in each of the years ending May 31, 2025 through 2029, are $1,000 million, $0 million, $2,000 million, $0 million and $0 million, respectively, at face value. The Company's Long-term debt is recorded at adjusted cost, net of unamortized premiums, discounts, and debt issuance costs, and swap fair value adjustments. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments or quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets (Level 2). The fair value of the Company's Long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $7,631 million and $7,889 million as of May 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
