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 and on July 14, 2017, the commitments under the existing credit facility were increased by an additional $300 million so that the aggregate commitments under the facility now total $1 billion. As of April 30, 2018, the company had borrowings of $315 million outstanding under the credit facility. We were in compliance with the covenants for the credit facility during the three and six months ended April 30, 2018. In May 2018, the outstanding balance under our existing credit facility was paid in full.

2017 Senior Notes

In October 2007, the company issued an aggregate principal amount of $600 million in senior notes ("2017 senior notes"). On October 20, 2014, we settled the redemption of $500 million of the $600 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 2017 senior notes. The remaining $100 million in senior notes matured on November 1, 2017 and were paid in full.
