2021 Credit Agreement On September 27, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries refinanced its term loan and revolving credit facility under its then credit agreement (the "2018 Credit Agreement") by entering into Refinancing Amendment No. 2 dated as of September 27, 2021, to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement as of October 3, 2017, as amended (the "2021 Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders. Substantially all of the proceeds under the 2021 Credit Agreement of $1.5 billion were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement are secured by first-priority liens on, and a first-priority security interest in, substantially all of the Company's and its Subsidiary Guarantors' U.S. assets. These liens are subject to release during the term of the facilities if the Company is able to achieve certain corporate or corporate family ratings and other conditions are met. The credit facilities under the 2021 Credit Agreement (the "2021 Credit Facilities") consist of: •A $1.5 billion secured term loan ("2021 Term Loan") with a maturity date of September 25, 2026; and •A secured revolving credit facility ("2021 Revolver") under which the Company may borrow up to $2.0 billion, subject to certain sublimits, with a maturity date of September 25, 2026. Borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement, other than Swing Line Loans, bear interest, at the Company's option, at the Base Rate, at the Eurocurrency Rate, at the Alternative Currency Daily Rate, or at the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, in each case plus the Applicable Rate (as such terms are defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement). The Applicable Rate in regards to the Base Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate, the Alternative Currency Daily Rate, the Alternative Currency Term Rate, and the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate is subject to change depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement). As of March 26, 2022, the interest rate under the 2021 Term Loan was 1.46% per annum. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee calculated on daily basis equal to the Applicable Rate as of such day multiplied by the undrawn committed amount available under the 2021 Revolver (taking into account any outstanding amounts under the LC Sublimit). As of March 26, 2022, this commitment fee was 0.15% per annum. Upon the earliest to occur of June 30, 2023 and certain specified events, relating to the planned phase out of LIBOR by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, the interest rate applicable to the loans under the 2021 Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. Dollars will convert to a variant of the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), as established from time to time by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus a corresponding spread. The Company is required to make scheduled principal payments under the 2021 Term Loan in increasing amounts ranging from $3.75 million per three-month period commencing with the three-month period ending on December 29, 2022 to $18.75 million per three-month period commencing with the three month period ending on December 26, 2025. The remaining balance of $1.335 billion (or such lesser aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding) on the 2021 Term Loan and any amounts outstanding under the 2021 Revolver are due at maturity. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2021 Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make certain mandatory prepayments from the net proceeds of specified types of asset sales (subject to certain reinvestment rights), debt issuances (excluding permitted debt) and insurance recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment rights). Certain of the mandatory prepayments are subject to reduction or elimination if certain financial covenants are met. These mandatory prepayments are required to be applied by the Company, first to the 2021 Term Loan, second to any outstanding amount under any Swing Line Loans, third to the 2021 Revolver, fourth to prepay any outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit and fifth to cash collateralize such letters of credit. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may voluntarily prepay any of the 2021 Credit Facilities without premium or penalty. As of March 26, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the 2021 Term Loan was $1.5 billion, and there were no amounts outstanding under the 2021 Revolver. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants restricting the ability of the Company, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and grant additional liens on its assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, and change the nature of their businesses. In addition, the 2021 Credit Agreement requires the Borrowers to maintain certain financial ratios. The 2021 Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross defaults and an event of default upon a change of control of the Company. The Company evaluated the 2021 Credit Agreement for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and identified embedded derivatives that required bifurcation as the features are not clearly and closely related to the host instrument. The embedded derivatives were a default provision, which could require additional interest payments, and a provision requiring contingent payments to compensate the lenders for changes in tax deductions. The Company determined that the fair value of these embedded derivatives was immaterial as of March 26, 2022. Pursuant to ASC 470, Debt (ASC 470), the accounting for the refinancing was evaluated on a creditor-by-creditor basis to determine whether each transaction should be accounted for as a modification or extinguishment. Certain creditors under the 2018 Credit Agreement did not participate in this refinancing transaction and ceased being creditors of the Company. As a result, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 to write-off the pro-rata amount of unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs related to these creditors. For the remainder of the creditors, this transaction was accounted for as a modification. Pursuant to ASC 470, third-party costs of $7.0 million were recorded as a reduction to debt representing deferred issuance costs and fees paid directly to the lenders. Interest expense, weighted average interest rates, and the interest rate at the end of period under the 2021 and 2018 Credit Agreements were as follows:
| Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| March 26, 2022 |  | March 27, 2021 |  | March 26, 2022 |  | March 27, 2021
Interest expense | $ | 5.7 |  |  | $ | 5.3 |  |  | $ | 11.0 |  |  | $ | 11.8 |
Weighted average interest rate | 1.13 | % |  | 1.12 | % |  | 1.11 | % |  | 1.17 | %
Interest rate at end of period | 1.46 | % |  | 1.11 | % |  | 1.46 | % |  | 1.11 | %
The 2021 Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants; a total leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, both of which are measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. These terms, and calculations thereof, are defined in further detail in the 2021 Credit Agreement. As of March 26, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Senior Notes On September 28, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of $950 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes due 2029 at an offering price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes. The Company used the net proceeds of the 2029 Senior Notes offering and cash on hand to redeem in full its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $950.0 million on October 15, 2020 at an aggregate redemption price of $970.8 million, which included a premium payment $20.8 million. 2025 Senior Notes Immediately prior to redemption in full of the 2025 Senior Notes on October 15, 2020, the total aggregate principal balance of 2025 Senior Notes was $950.0 million. Since the Company used the proceeds from the 2029 Senior Notes offering to redeem the 2025 Senior Notes, the Company evaluated the accounting for this transaction under ASC 470 to determine modification versus extinguishment accounting on a creditor-by-creditor basis. Certain 2025 Senior Note holders either did not participate in this refinancing transaction or reduced their holdings, and these transactions were accounted for as extinguishments. As a result, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 of $21.6 million. For the remaining 2025 Senior Notes holders who participated in the refinancing, these transactions were accounted for as modifications because on a creditor-by-creditor basis the present value of the cash flows between the debt instruments before and after the transaction was less than 10%. The Company recorded a portion of the transaction expenses of $5.8 million to interest expense pursuant to ASC 470, subtopic 50-40. The remaining debt issuance costs of $7.9 million and debt discount of $6.4 million related to the modified debt is being amortized over the new term of the 2029 Senior Notes using the effective interest method. 2028 Senior Notes As of March 26, 2022, the Company had Senior Notes due 2028 outstanding in the aggregate principal balance of $400 million. The 2028 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and mature on February 1, 2028. 2029 Senior Notes As of March 26, 2022, the Company had 2029 Senior Notes due 2029 outstanding in the aggregate principal balance of $950 million. The 2029 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and mature on February 15, 2029. Interest expense for the 2029 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes was as follows:
|  |  | Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended
| Interest Rate |  | March 26, 2022 |  | March 27, 2021 |  | March 26, 2022 |  | March 27, 2021
2025 Senior Notes | 4.375 | % |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 2.3 |
2028 Senior Notes | 4.625 | % |  | 4.8 |  |  | 4.8 |  |  | 9.6 |  |  | 9.6 |
2029 Senior Notes | 3.250 | % |  | 8.2 |  |  | 8.3 |  |  | 16.4 |  |  | 16.3 |
Total |  |  | $ | 13.0 |  |  | $ | 13.1 |  |  | $ | 26.0 |  |  | $ | 28.2 |
Accounts Receivable Securitization Program As of March 26, 2022, there was $248.5 million outstanding under the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization Program”). The weighted average interest rate under the Securitization Program was 0.81%. Subsequent to March 26, 2022, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $248.5 million. Other Other represents debt acquired in the Mobidiag acquisition, which was primarily with the European Investment Bank ("EIB"). Multiple tranches were withdrawn under the agreement and were primarily used to fund research and development projects and expansion efforts. The debt agreement contained change-in-control provisions allowing the EIB to call the debt at any time after a change-in-control, which occurred as a result of Hologic acquiring Mobidiag. The tranches withdrawn under this agreement had interest rates ranging from 6.0% to 7.0%. The debt agreement included additional payments to the EIB based on revenues generated by products developed under the funding as well as prepayment penalties. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company paid off the outstanding debt obligation of $63.6 million, and the debt agreement with the EIB was terminated.
