Bank facilities
The Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders are parties to a credit agreement, as amended and restated, the 2022 Credit Agreement. Also, the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the Lender are parties to a term credit agreement, as amended and restated, the April 2022 Term Credit Agreement. The Company, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders were parties to a term credit agreement, the August 2022 Term Credit Agreement. In May 2023, we repaid the outstanding three-year term loan facility borrowings under our August 2022 Term Credit Agreement with proceeds from the May 2023 Senior Notes (see “Senior notes” below).

In October 2022, the Company, CB International, the Administrative Agent, and certain other lenders agreed to amend the 2022 Credit Agreement and the Company, the Administrative Agent, and the Lender agreed to amend the April 2022 Term Credit Agreement. The October 2022 Credit Agreement Amendments revise certain defined terms and covenants and will become effective upon (i) the amendment by Canopy of its Articles of Incorporation, (ii) the conversion of our Canopy common shares into Exchangeable Shares, and (iii) the resignation of our nominees from the board of directors of Canopy.

(1)Net of outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under the 2022 Credit Agreement and outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program of $820.4 million (excluding unamortized discount) (see “Commercial paper program” below).

We and our subsidiaries are subject to covenants that are contained in the 2022 Credit Agreement and the April 2022 Term Credit Agreement, including those restricting the incurrence of additional subsidiary indebtedness, additional liens, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, and sale and leaseback transactions, in each case subject to numerous conditions, exceptions, and thresholds. The financial covenants are limited to a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio.

Commercial paper program
We have a commercial paper program which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate principal amount of $2.25 billion of commercial paper. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under our revolving credit facility under our 2022 Credit Agreement. Accordingly, outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program reduce the amount available under our revolving credit facility. As of May 31, 2023, we had $819.1 million of outstanding borrowings, net of unamortized discount, under our commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.6% and a weighted average remaining term of twelve days.

Senior notes
In May 2023, we issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.90% senior notes due May 2033. Proceeds from this offering, net of discount and debt issuance costs, were $740.0 million. Interest on the 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes is payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2023. The 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time prior to February 1, 2033, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole payment based on the present value of the future payments at the adjusted treasury rate, as defined in the applicable indenture, plus 25 basis points. On or after February 1, 2033, we may redeem the 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 4.90% May 2023 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.
Debt payments
As of May 31, 2023, the required principal repayments under long-term debt obligations (excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized discounts of $61.4 million and $25.2 million, respectively) for the remaining nine months of Fiscal 2024 and for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:
