Credit Facilities
 
On September 15, 2014, Agilent entered into a credit agreement with a group of financial institutions which provides for a $400 million five-year unsecured credit facility that will expire on September 15, 2019. On June 9, 2015, the commitments under the existing credit facility were increased by $300 million so that the aggregate commitments under the facility now total $700 million. As of April 30, 2016, the company had borrowings of $235 million outstanding under the facility. We were in compliance with the covenants for the credit facility during the three and six months ended April 30, 2016.
