On April 8, 2021, the Company extended the maturity date of its revolving credit facility by one additional year to October 30, 2025. The revolving credit facility has a borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion through October 30, 2024, and a borrowing capacity of $1.655 billion from October 31, 2024, to October 30, 2025. The Company has the right to increase the commitments under this agreement to an aggregate amount of up to $3.0 billion upon the consent of only those lenders holding any such increase. Interest under the multicurrency facility is based upon LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR plus 1.125% subject to a ratings-based grid or the U.S. prime rate. The credit facility contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60%. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 27.7% and had no outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in $2.0 billion of available funds.

Additionally, the Company’s joint venture has a $150 million bank line of credit for the construction of a facility in Saudi Arabia.  Interest under the bank line of credit is based upon LIBOR plus 1.40%. The bank line of credit contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 75%. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance. The line of credit repayment schedule begins in December 2022 with final payment no later than June 2032.  The Company can repay the entire outstanding facility balance without penalty at its sole discretion. Other debt at September 30, 2021 included $26 million of funding provided by minority interest partners of  NOV consolidated joint ventures.

Upon redemption, the Company paid $191 million, which included a redemption premium of $6.8 million as well as accrued and unpaid interest of $1.7 million. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million in the second quarter, including the redemption premium of $6.8 million and non-cash charges of $0.3 million to write-off unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.  Following the repayment, the Company’s earliest bond maturity is in 2029.

The Company had $441 million of outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2021, primarily in the U.S. and Norway, that are under various bilateral letter of credit facilities. Letters of credit are issued as bid bonds, advanced payment bonds and performance bonds.
