Significant Debt Activity
In December 2021, we issued $800 million of 0.868% senior notes due in 2023, $1.4 billion of 1.322% senior notes due in 2024, $1.45 billion of 1.915% senior notes due in 2027, $1.25 billion of 2.272% senior notes due in 2028, $1.55 billion of 2.539% senior notes due in 2032, $750 million of 3.132% senior notes due in 2051, $300 million of floating rate senior notes due in 2023 and $300 million of floating rate senior notes due in 2024 (collectively, the Hillrom notes) to fund a portion of the consideration for the Hillrom acquisition, repay certain indebtedness of Hillrom and to pay fees and expenses related to the foregoing. In conjunction with the issuances of the Hillrom notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement in which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an offer to exchange the Hillrom notes for new issues of notes with the same terms registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Those exchange offers with respect to the Hillrom notes were completed in the second quarter of 2022.
In the first half of 2022, we repaid $335 million of our $2.0 billion three-year term loan facility and $355 million of our $2.0 billion five-year term loan facility. The loss from the early extinguishment of this debt was not significant. In the third quarter of 2022, we amended the credit agreements governing our term loan facility and our U.S. dollar-denominated revolving credit facility and the guaranty agreement with respect to our Euro-denominated revolving credit facility, in each case to delay the commencement of our net leverage ratio covenant step-down schedule until June 30, 2024. We also amended the credit agreements governing our term loan facility and our U.S. dollar denominated revolving credit facility to transition the benchmark rate from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).
In the third quarter of 2022, we repaid $203 million of our 2.4% senior dues due in 2022.
Credit Facilities
Our U.S. dollar-denominated revolving credit facility has a capacity of $2.5 billion and our Euro-denominated revolving credit facility has a capacity of €200 million. Each of the facilities matures in 2026. There were no borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Our commercial paper borrowing arrangements require us to maintain undrawn borrowing capacity under our credit facilities for an amount at least equal to our outstanding commercial paper borrowings.
Commercial Paper
As of September 30, 2022, we had $275 million of commercial paper outstanding with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.02% and an original weighted-average term of 49 days. As of December 31, 2021, we had $300 million of commercial paper outstanding with a weighted-average interest rate of 0.27% and an original weighted-average term of 88 days.
