On August 18, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $900 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and five-year senior secured term loans (the "Senior Secured Term Loan Facility", collectively, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).

The Senior Secured Term Loan Facility provides for a Tranche B-3 class of term loans, denominated in U.S. dollars, in an aggregate principal amount of $1,070 (the “Dollar Term Loan”) and a class of Tranche B-3 class term loans, denominated in euros, in an aggregate principal amount of €415 (the “Euro Term Loan”) (collectively, the “Term Loans”). The Company received proceeds of $367, net of original issue discount and bank fees of $32. The proceeds of the Term Loans were primarily used to prepay, in full, all outstanding amounts under the previous April 2018 Credit Agreement, which amounted to $764 for the previous dollar term loan and €333 for the previous euro term loan, fees and expenses related therewith, and to fund the Water District Settlement Fund per the terms of the U.S. public water system Settlement Agreement pending final approval (see "Note 22 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities"). Following the first amendment to the Credit Agreement, which was entered into on November 29, 2024, the Dollar Term Loan bears a variable interest rate equal to, at the election of the Company, adjusted Term SOFR plus 3.00%, subject to an adjusted SOFR floor of 0.50%, or adjusted base rate, plus 2.00%, subject to a base rate floor of 1.00%. Following the second amendment to the Credit Agreement, which was entered into on December 13, 2024, the Euro Term Loan bears a variable interest rate equal to adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus 3.25%, subject to an adjusted EURIBOR floor of 0.0%. The Term Loans will mature on August 18, 2028, and are subject to acceleration in certain circumstances.

At December 31, 2024, the effective interest rates on the Dollar Term Loan and the Euro Term Loan were 7.4% and 6.1%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company made term loan repayments of $11, $9 and $13 on its Term Loans, respectively.

Borrowings made under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purchases and other transactions not prohibited by the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility bears a variable interest rate range based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, between (i) a 0.25% and a 1.00% spread for adjusted base rate loans, and (ii) a 1.25% and a 2.00% spread for SOFR and EURIBOR loans. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility within an interest rate range based on its total net leverage ratio, between 0.10% and 0.25%. At December 31, 2024, commitment fees on the Revolving Credit Facility were assessed at a rate of 0.25% per annum. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on October 7, 2026, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. There were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2024 and 2023. Issued and outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility amounted to $56 and $48 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Under the Credit Agreement, solely with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to not exceed a maximum senior secured net leverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters through the date of maturity. In addition, the Term Loans contain customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability, subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay dividends, and engage in certain transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, or investments, outside of specified carve-outs. The Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default.

The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the Company’s material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain agreed upon exceptions. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are also, subject to certain agreed upon exceptions, secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and substantially all of the assets of the Company’s material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, including 100% of the stock of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

On June 6, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of €450 4.000% senior unsecured notes due May 2026, denominated in euros (the “2026 Euro Notes”). The 2026 Euro Notes required payment of principal at maturity and payments of interest semi-annually in cash and in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The net proceeds from the 2026 Euro Notes, together with cash on hand, were used to purchase or redeem, as the case may be, the previously outstanding euro notes due May 2023 and a $250 aggregate principal amount of the 6.625% senior unsecured notes due May 2023, denominated in U.S. dollars (the “2023 Dollar Notes”) pursuant to a tender offer and the redemption, as well as pay for any fees and expenses in connection therewith.

The Company received proceeds of $489, net of an original issue discount of $5 and underwriting fees and other related expenses of $6, which are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2027 Notes. A portion of the net proceeds from the 2027 Notes was used to pay the $335 of the First MDL Settlement, as discussed in “Note 22 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities”.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased through open market transactions, an aggregate principal of $62 of its senior unsecured notes for cash payment of $54. The Company recorded a gain of $7 in "(Loss) gain on extinguishment of debt" in the consolidated statements of operations, net of $1 in charges related to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the extinguished debt.

The Company, through a wholly-owned special purpose entity (“SPE”), executed an agreement with a bank for an accounts receivable securitization facility (“Securitization Facility”) for the purpose of enhancing the Company’s liquidity (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), as amended from time to time. Under the Securitization Facility, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable to the SPE, which is a non-guarantor subsidiary. In turn, the SPE may transfer undivided ownership interests in such receivables to the bank in exchange for cash. The bank has a first priority security interest in all receivables held by the SPE, and the SPE has not granted a security interest to anyone else. Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Company no longer maintains effective control over the transferred receivables, and therefore accounts for these transfers as sales of receivables. Under the Securitization Facility, prior to March 2023, the SPE may sell at any time certain receivables and request investments and letter of credit up to a total of $150 until the earlier of March 6, 2024 or another event that constitutes a "Termination Date" under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended.

On March 23, 2023, the Company, through the SPE, amended its Receivables Purchase Agreement to, among other things, increase the facility limit under the arrangement from $150 to $175, replace the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR, add a conduit purchaser, and extend the term of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, such that the SPE may sell certain receivables and request investments and letter of credit until the earlier of March 31, 2025 or another event that constitutes a "Termination Date" under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Cash received from collections of sold receivables is used to fund additional purchases of receivables at 100% of face value on a revolving basis, not to exceed the facility limit, which is the aggregate purchase limit. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company received $1,436 and $1,448, respectively, of cash collections on receivables sold under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, following which it sold and derecognized $1,425 and $1,433 respectively, of incremental accounts receivable. The Company maintains continuing involvement as it acts as the servicer for the sold receivables and guarantees payment to the bank. As collateral against the sold receivables, the SPE maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which amounted to $112 and $87 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $3 of fees associated with the Securitization Facility. Costs associated with the sales of receivables are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the periods in which the sales occur.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a financing arrangement, by which an external financing company funded certain of the Company's annual insurance premiums for $21. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company made principal payments of $10 to the financing company, and the remaining $11 is to be repaid within the next twelve months.
