Senior Notes On October 19, 2022, the Company redeemed its 3.85% senior notes due April 2023 (the “April 2023 Notes”) at a redemption price equal to 100.002% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption. The total consideration was approximately $1.09 billion, and the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $1 million. On September 14, 2022, the Company completed a registered public offering of $500 million principal amount of 6.375% senior notes that mature in September 2027 (the “September 2027 Notes”) and $500 million principal amount of 6.625% senior notes that mature in September 2029 (the “September 2029 Notes”). The Company received proceeds of approximately $989 million, net of fees and expenses paid. The September 2027 Notes and the September 2029 Notes are subject to similar restrictive and financial covenants as the Company's existing senior notes, however, they are not subject to the interest rate adjustment or coupon step up provisions of certain other notes described below. The September 2027 Notes and the September 2029 Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company (i) at any time prior to three months before the stated maturity dates at a redemption price equal to or greater of (a) the principal amount of the notes being redeemed or (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, plus the applicable make-whole amount of 50 basis points, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date; or (ii) at any time on or after three months prior to respective maturity dates, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption dates. The Company used the net proceeds from the September 2027 and September 2029 Notes, together with available cash, to redeem the April 2023 Notes during the fourth quarter of 2022. As a result of the debt ratings downgrades by S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”) and Moody’s Corporation (“Moody’s”) in 2019 and 2020, respectively, certain of the Company’s outstanding senior notes currently aggregating to approximately $3.1 billion were subject to an interest rate adjustment of 25 basis points for each downgrade, totaling 50 basis points. In addition, the Company’s ability to borrow from the commercial paper market on terms it deemed acceptable or favorable was eliminated and its cost of borrowing increased. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Revolver was not affected by the downgrades. On February 11, 2022, S&P upgraded the Company’s debt rating to “BBB-” from “BB+”. Since the S&P upgrade, the Company has been in a position to access the commercial paper market. The Company can currently issue commercial paper up to a maximum of $1.5 billion, provided there is a sufficient amount available for borrowing under the Credit Revolver (defined hereafter). In addition, the interest rate on the relevant senior notes decreased by 25 basis points, reducing the Company’s interest expense by approximately $8 million on an annualized basis (approximately $7 million impact in 2022). However, certain of the Company’s outstanding senior notes aggregating to approximately $3.1 billion are still subject to an interest rate adjustment of 25 basis points in connection with the Moody’s downgrade of the Company's debt rating in 2020. On February 14, 2023, Fitch Ratings downgraded the Company’s debt rating to “BB”. This downgrade does not impact the interest rates on any of the Company's senior notes. Receivables Facility The Company maintains an Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility (the “Securitization Facility”). During the second quarter of 2022, the Company amended the Securitization Facility. This amendment (i) reduced the aggregate commitment under the Securitization Facility to $375 million from $600 million, (ii) extended its maturity by one year to October 2023 and (iii) changed the reference rate under the Securitization Facility from LIBOR to SOFR. The Securitization Facility bears interest at a margin over a variable interest rate. The maximum availability under the Securitization Facility fluctuates based on eligible accounts receivable balances. At December 31, 2022, the Company had $35 million outstanding under the Securitization Facility. Revolving Credit Facility On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Revolver”) that matures in August 2027. The Credit Revolver refinanced the Company’s previous $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in December 2023. Under the Credit Revolver, the Company may borrow funds on a variety of interest rate terms. The Credit Revolver provides committed back-up liquidity for the issuance of commercial paper, in each case, to the extent there is sufficient availability for borrowing under the Credit Revolver. At December 31, 2022, the Company has $225 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Revolver and $359 million in commercial paper borrowings. The Credit Revolver provides for the issuance of up to $150 million of letters of credit, so long as there is sufficient availability for borrowing under the Credit Revolver. At December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $22 million of outstanding standby letters of credit issued against the Credit Revolver, with a net availability of approximately $1.25 billion. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants at December 31, 2022. Future Debt Maturities The Company’s debt maturities for the five years following December 31, 2022 and thereafter are as follows (in millions):
2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2025 |  | 2026 |  | 2027 |  | Thereafter |  | Total
$621 |  | $201 |  | $547 |  | $1,985 |  | $500 |  | $1,587 |  | $5,441
Other The indentures governing the Company’s senior notes contain usual and customary nonfinancial covenants. The Company’s borrowing arrangements other than the senior notes contain usual and customary nonfinancial covenants and certain financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage and maximum debt-to-total-capitalization ratios. The weighted average interest rates for total debt in 2022 and 2021 were approximately 4.3% and 4.7%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for short term debt in 2022 was approximately 4.0%. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, unamortized deferred debt issue costs were $30 million and $24 million, respectively. These costs are included in total debt and are being amortized over the respective terms of the underlying debt. The fair values of the Company’s senior notes are based on quoted market prices and are as follows at December 31, (in millions):
| 2022 |  | 2021
| Fair Value |  | Book Value |  | Fair Value |  | Book Value
Senior notes | $ | 4,511 |  |  | $ | 4,756 |  |  | $ | 5,477 |  |  | $ | 4,880 |
The carrying amounts of all other significant debt approximates fair value. Net Investment Hedge The Company previously designated the €300 million principal balance of the 3.75% senior notes due October 2021 as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in certain Euro-functional currency subsidiaries with Euro-denominated net assets. In conjunction with the redemption of the October 2021 Notes, the Company settled this net investment hedge. At December 31, 2021, $11 million of deferred losses have been recorded in AOCL. See Footnote 10 for disclosures regarding the Company’s derivative financial instruments.
