(1) JPM acts as the administrative agent for this syndicated credit facility. (2) The total amount available under these credit facilities as of May 31, 2025 was approximately $2.0 billion. Amounts borrowed under the PNC credit facility remain outstanding as of the date of this report. Upon the expiration date of any credit facility, any borrowings outstanding under that facility will mature and be payable. Interest rates on each of the Company’s credit facilities can be based upon (1) an alternate base rate that is established by the lending institution at the highest of several publicly available interest rates, plus an applicable interest rate margin, or (2) at our election, the Securitized Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) o r an alternate interest rate as determined by the administrative agent, plus an applicable interest rate margin. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee, ranging from 0.05% to 0.15%, related to the unutilized portion of each credit facility. The commitment fee is determined on a sliding-scale basis based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. On April 12, 2024, the Company and Paychex of New York LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PoNY”), entered into an amendment (the “2019 Credit Facility Amendment”) to its $1.0 billion, five-year, unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “2019 Credit Facility”), for which JPM acts as Administrative Agent. The 2019 Credit Facility Amendment, among other things, (a) extended the maturity date of the 2019 Credit Facility from July 31, 2024 to April 12, 2029, (b) amended the interest rate provisions under the 2019 Credit Facility, (c) amended the lenders under the syndication and (d) made other ministerial changes to the 2019 Credit Facility. On April 12, 2024, the Company and PoNY entered into an amendment (the “2017 Credit Facility Amendment”) to its $750.0 million, five-year, unsecured, revolving credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”), for which JPM acts as Administrative Agent. The 2017 Credit Facility Amendment, among other things, (a) amended the interest rate provisions under the 2017 Credit Facility, and (b) made other ministerial changes to the 2017 Credit Facility. Obligations under the credit facilities are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The credit facilities contain financial and operational covenants with which the Company must maintain compliance. The Company’s ability to borrow under the credit facilities may be restricted in the event of certain covenant breaches or events of default. In addition, the terms of the credit facilities could restrict the Company’s ability to engage in certain business transactions. The Company was in compliance with all these covenants as of May 31, 2025. Certain lenders under these credit facilities, and their respective affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform for the Company, various commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting, and other financial advisory services, for which they have received, and will continue to receive in the future, customary fees and expenses. Bridge Loan Commitment: On January 7, 2025, the Company and a Company subsidiary, Paychex of New York, LLC, entered into a bridge loan commitment with JPM, pursuant to which JPM committed to provide a 364-day senior unsecured credit facility of up to $3.5 billion for the acquisition of Paycor, including related fees and expenses. The Company incurred $14.9 million in debt financing fees, including structuring and commitment fees, which were capitalized as Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and were recognized as interest expense on a straight-line basis. On April 10, 2025, the Company obtained alternative financing through the issuance of its Corporate Bonds, effectively canceling the bridge loan commitment. Refer to Note N for further discussion of the Corporate Bonds issued. Interest Rate Swaption Contracts: On January 31, 2025, the Company executed three Swaption Contracts with JPM. The Swaption Contracts qualified as cash flow hedges, had an aggregate notional amount of $3.0 billion, and were utilized to manage exposure to fluctuations in benchmark interest rates associated with the issuance of the Corporate Bonds to fund the acquisition of Paycor. At inception, the Company recorded Swaption Contract assets related to paid premiums of $19.2 million. Upon issuing the Corporate Bonds, the Company elected not to exercise the Swaption Contracts, and wrote-off the hedge asset when it expired. Letters of credit: The Company had irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding totaling $165.0 million and $168.5 million as of May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024, respectively, required to secure commitments for certain insurance policies. The letters of credit expire at various dates between June 1, 2025 and February 28, 2027. No amounts were outstanding on these letters of credit during fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024, or as of May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024, respectively. Subsequent to May 31, 2025, eight letters of credit which expired were renewed for one year terms.
