(1)Subsequent to August 31, 2021, the Company provided notice that it would redeem on October 15, 2021 its $600 million 4.125% senior unsecured notes, which have a scheduled maturity of January 15, 2022.

The carrying amounts of the senior notes in the table above are net of debt issuance costs of $12.4 million and $15.9 million as of August 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively.

In June 2021, the Company redeemed $300 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% senior notes due December 2021. The redemption price, which was paid in cash, was 100% of the principal amount plus accrued unpaid interest.

As of August 31, 2021 the maximum available borrowings on the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") were $2.5 billion and included a $300 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, thus the maximum borrowings could be $2.8 billion maturing in 2024. The Credit Facility agreement (the "Credit Agreement") provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. The maturity, debt covenants and details of the Credit Facility are unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Financial Condition and Capital Resources section in its Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2020. In addition to the Credit Facility, the Company has other letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions.

Procedures related to performance letters of credit, financial letters of credit and surety bonds are unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Financial Condition and Capital Resources section in its Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2020. The Company's outstanding performance letters of credit and surety bonds are described below:

(In thousands)						August 31, 2021						November 30, 2020
Performance letters of credit						$	874,820					752,096
Surety bonds						3,465,134						3,087,711
Anticipated future costs primarily for site improvements related to performance surety bonds						1,595,800						1,584,642

The Company's senior notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's 100% owned homebuilding subsidiaries and some of the Company's other subsidiaries. These guarantees are unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Financial Condition and Capital Resources section in its Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2020.
