Release of Collateral Related to the 2018 Credit Facility

On April 2, 2022, the Company’s senior long-term, unsecured debt was upgraded to investment grade by two of the three specified rating agencies for two consecutive full fiscal quarters, meeting the criteria for the release of the collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility.

On April 3, 2022, the Company notified the Administrative Agent under its 2018 Credit Facility that it had met the conditions for the release of the collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility. The collateral, which consists of substantially all of the assets and certain registered intellectual property of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, was released effective April 3, 2022. See Note 11 for additional details regarding the Company’s Credit Facility.

Net Investment Hedges

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company modified multiple fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $1 billion to hedge its net investment in Euro denominated subsidiaries and Japanese-Yen denominated subsidiaries. The modification of these hedges resulted in the Company receiving $59 million in cash during the first quarter of Fiscal 2023. These contracts have been designated as net investment hedges.

Senior Notes Credit Rating Upgrade

On April 21, 2022, Moody’s Investor Services upgraded the Company’s credit rating to Baa1 from Baa2 in relation to the Company’s senior unsecured notes. As a result, as of May 1, 2022 the Senior Notes now bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.25% per year, payable semi-annually.
