As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance on Unsecured Credit Facilities of $5,811 million and $3,080 million, respectively, inclusive of the following debt instruments:
i.Credit Agreement - Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A
On December 22, 2020, the Company entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” or “RCF”) and a U.S. dollar (“USD”) denominated term loan (the “Term Loan A” or “TLA”) with various lenders. The Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A had an original maturity of December 22, 2024 and December 22, 2025, respectively. The Credit Agreement became unsecured with an amendment on August 20, 2021.
Effective February 15, 2024, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement, increasing the Company’s borrowing capacity under the existing Revolving Credit Facility from $2,625 million to $3,500 million. The amendment also resulted in a pay down of $875 million on the Term Loan A using funds available on the Revolving Credit Facility. After the amendment, the remaining outstanding balance on the Term Loan A is $1,000 million. Additionally, the amendment gives the Company the right to increase the size of the existing Term Loan A, add one or more incremental term loans, and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to $500 million, which would increase the total aggregate commitment amount of the existing Credit Agreement to $5,000 million. The amended maturity dates for the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A are February 15, 2028 and February 15, 2029, respectively. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility may be extended through two six-month extension options that can be exercised if certain conditions are met.
In connection with the February 2024 refinancing of the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred total fees and expenses of $34 million, of which $31 million was capitalized as deferred financing costs, $2 million was recognized as an immediate loss on extinguishment of debt, and $1 million was recognized in General and administrative expense as third-party costs related to a debt modification. Of the capitalized $31 million in deferred financing costs, $26 million related to the Revolving Credit Facility and $5 million related to the Term Loan A, which are presented in Other assets and Long-term debt, net, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company
recognized an additional $5 million in loss on extinguishment of debt related to unamortized deferred financing costs for the portions of the Credit Agreement determined to be extinguished.

There were $67 million in letters of credit issued on the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company has the ability to issue up to $100 million as letters of credit.
On June 25, 2024, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to include two new syndicate lenders. Apart from the addition of these lenders, there were no significant changes to the total loan amounts, terms, or conditions of the Credit Agreement.
ii.Delayed-draw term loan facility
On February 15, 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (“DDTL”) with a borrowing capacity of up to $2,400 million. The involved parties, in addition to the Company, included a syndicate of banks, financial institutions, and other entities, with notable participants being JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) also acting as the administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Securities LLC also acting as a syndication agent. Under this facility, the full commitment was available for borrowing in a single drawing during the period commencing on the closing date and ending on May 10, 2024. In addition, the Company has the right to increase the size of the DDTL, up to $500 million, which would increase the total aggregate commitment amount to $2,900 million.
On April 9, 2024, the Company drew $2,400 million under the DDTL.
The DDTL matures on February 14, 2025. The DDTL may be extended through a twelve-month extension option that can be exercised if certain conditions are met and an extension fee of 0.3% is paid.
The agreement permits prepayments of principal, in whole or in part, at any time, without premium or penalty. There are also additional instances outlined that would trigger a mandatory principal prepayment under specified events. The Company is required to prepay the principal using the entire aggregate net cash proceeds from any issuance or offering of common or preferred equity securities through an underwritten public offering in which the equity interests of the
Company are listed on a nationally-recognized stock exchange or a generally offered equity raise, or other specified events which had not occurred as of June 30, 2024.
On or before December 31, 2024, the Company must repay outstanding DDTL balances in an amount equal to at least 20.0% of the aggregate principal amount borrowed on the initial funding date.
Term loan borrowings under the DDTL facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus 0.1% (or “Adjusted Term SOFR”), plus the applicable margin ranging from 1.6% to 2.2% based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. Based on the Company’s existing total leverage ratio, the interest rate expected to be in effect for the Company’s prospective DDTL borrowing is Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.6%. Interest is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. In addition, the DDTL facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.2% on the average daily unused amount of the facility commitment.
In connection with the execution of the DDTL, the Company incurred and capitalized fees and expenses of $9 million as deferred financing costs. The DDTL capitalized deferred financing costs are presented in Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
